If you want Marketing its Kellogg hands down.

If you want to work in NYC, Columbia without batting an eye.

For banking & finance, Kellogg and CBS are equals in terms of recruiting, and are both better than Tuck, but not by a lot--but enough to definitely make me choose one of the two over Tuck. I say Kellogg and CBS are equals because even though there may be less total jobs being offered in finance at Kellogg, there are less finance job seekers to compete with.

If you want to work at a boutique in NYC, Columbia has the edge because many of those firms don't have on campus recruiting--where the NYC advantage comes in. I see this being VERY applicable to S&T.

For an academic program, I think at Tuck you will get the best "education," but as the saying goes, its who you know, not what you know--and therefore I think the Kellogg and CBS networks outweigh the Tuck education factor. Plus you don't have to know much to work on wall street--you need connections.

I am speaking off of hearsay and talking to students from the programs, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

 

Tuck has a tight night alumni network. There not omnipresent, but alum will got to bat for you without much effort. Plus they seem really helpful in going through the application process.

How does this work?

NYC Finance: CBS > or = Kellogg > Tuck Other: Kellogg > Tuck > CBS Alumni loyalty: Tuck > Kellogg > CBS Alumni reach: Kellogg = CBS > Tuck

The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.

I have researched all these schools very closely and will be attending one this fall. In my opinion:

NYC Finance: CBS > Tuck = Kellogg London/SF/other high Finance: CBS > Kellogg > Tuck GM / Marketing / Corporate Finance / etc: Kellogg > CBS = Tuck Alumni loyalty: Tuck > Kellogg > CBS Alumni reach (Finance-related): CBS > Kellogg > Tuck Alumni reach (non-Finance): Kellogg > CBS > Tuck

 

Awesome, I'm glad you followed my drift in terms of granularity.

The CBS alumni loyalty is a little bit of a concern.

I'm entirely receptive to PMs if you have things you'd like to add.
