GSB
Any rationale/ insights?
GSB all the way. Enjoy the rest of the holidays and coast for your remaining time at work - it’s time for enjoyment!
Wharton will have a way stronger brand in Europe. Stanford is not strong outside the West Coast /Tech
Can't go wrong - currently at Wharton & my best friend is at GSB. Both are great schools, but cultures and directions that they push you in are really different, so think about what you want beyond just brand!
Congrats! All 3 schools are very well recognized internationally. I would personally go to GSB regardless of the HBS outcome, because I would like that technology twist to my MBA. I would go to Wharton if I wanted to do banking or PE after. And I would wait for HBS if I wanted to focus my MBA on soft skills, leadership, and networking, with more of a political / legal angle.
Not sure if it's the top approach but I would honestly email HBS and explain that I've been admitted to another top program and ask if they could provide a more concrete decision by the GSB deadline. And I would not be upset if they refuse.
What do you want to do after your MBA?
It is not terrible advice. Just make sure your message is not cocky, and express your continued interest in the program. You can always tell them you have other options but HBS remains your number one, and that you’d like to know if they have a timeline for decisions, as you need to commit to your other schools by xyz.
Coach
Admissions committees won't give you an earlier decision to save you the hassle and money of depositing elsewhere.
Deposit at either the GSB or Wharton and wait it out with HBS. You will get a decision along with the R2 applicants. You may need to walk away from a deposit if you opt for HBS over the GSB.
