Why don’t you just use the fin aid calculator? Imo if you want maximum flexibility and optionality, and don’t mind H’s academic requirements, I’d take H over W. From a person who is taking W over H.

Just have a longer engagement and go HBS

I’d take W for the money and the experience (generally heard more positive things from W friends than H friends)

Unless there’s a compelling reason to not go to H/S you go to H/S. Especially if the money is likely equivalent or more 😂

I agree, I think cross admit data shows that S>H>W>rest of M7.

Applying next year - how’d you get scholarship at W? That’s awesome

Early 30s M here. Used to be really good on stage until I got a consulting job out of college.

I love consulting and have financial safety doing what I do today but I sure do miss the adulation, applause and life-energy the stage brought me. It was just…so adrenaline inducing.

No, career pivot is not an option. Prepping myself for a mid-life crisis in a few years. Already off all kinds of social media because it hurts to see all the mediocre people getting famous (Sorry for the hubris).

What is the obsession and appeal for MBB among MBA grads? Is it really that amazing - from afar it seems like it may be romanticized (maybe not the right word) among applicants. I know it’s way better than the work I do now, so I’m not knocking MBB at all. It’s super impressive. Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere
