Friends, what are your thoughts? Chicago Booth or Cornell EMBA? Which would you choose and why? Need some help deciding. Thank you!

It depends what your goals are after the MBA. I feel like Booth would be better if you want to go into strategy or finance. Booth may also have a better global recognition as well. However, if Cornell is offering you a nice scholarship, it’s worth considering. I know a couple of Cornell MBA alums and they’re in tech. Not sure if that’s a coincidence, but they are both doing well.

At this level, the Exec MBA you should choose should mostly be about fit and intended Geography/Travel preferences

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
