Where do you want to end up? I’d say HBS is better unless you’re planning to live in London. Even then, HBS may give you an edge

HBS then.

Harvard for sure

OP, go to both admit weekends and talk to as many students, fellow admits, and graduates as possible. Did you attend the HBS ASW on Feb? You’ll hear lots of stuff on this forum and everywhere - ultimately, trust your gut. Good luck!

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management.

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?
