GSB, assuming you could get your post mba goal at either, who wouldn’t want to get an MBA from a school with a solid football team

For Tech GSB, even Haas and Sloan.
For reputation: HBS

Implying Stanford doesn’t have just as strong a reputation as Harvard 🙄

GSB is a much smaller program . .. perhaps the smallest MBA class. If you want to move into PE/VC . GSB is the better choice since like 15 percent of the class moves into that field

GSB!! Due to the class size, it’s the hardest school to get into. Then again, I’m biased towards schools in the Bay Area..

Most schools allow you to take courses outside of their business schools, so that isn’t unique.

GSB hands down
