Ex GTer, Current IB here. I got into Booth and Kellogg’s MBA programs. If my goal is to pivot to PE in 2-3yrs, which school should I choose and why?

Both are good choices combined with your IB experience. Be sure to network with your IB contacts BEFORE you leave IB so that you can leverage them while you are in the MBA program.

Oh, my personal preference would be Booth.

Current Booth student. DM if you would like to chat about the program.

Hi there, I’d really love some advice from you all. In the last year I had to sell our home in Boulder, CO and embark on a new build process on a home in Tampa, FL. It turns out my dad can’t afford to live on his own so we found a home in FL that would have an in law suite. We locked in a rate but it expired and they are unwilling to extend due to the fact the builder is delayed and supply chain issues. Is there a smart way to structure loans now I’m unaware of? I’m super concerned.
