What is the view on how competitive Booth graduates are in getting into long/short value funds? Is Kellogg competitive here? Booth clearly is strong in quant based strategies but how well do its graduates place (and how does it compare to Kellogg) into fundamentals based investing?
Many thanks.

While both have a wide range of programs, and all schools are trying to provide balanced curriculum these days. Each of these great schools has a clear competitive advantage.
Booth is at its core finance school, always has been, likely always will be.
Kellogg is at its core marketing school, always has been, likely always will be.
Yes both graduate folks who go on to do a lot of different things, but if you are looking to break into something, I would go with the school that has the clear competitive advantage in the field you want. If you are a banker looking to round yourself out with an MBA, it might matter less where you go if you want to switch to value funds. But if you are a career changer, and by that I mean a total change in industry I think the choice here is pretty clear. A winning strategy would be to match up the school that best compliments and mitigates your weaknesses. Where people are hired after an MBA is not simply a product of their school, it is also a reflection of the resume that the brought into school with them. What is your background?
