Yale is a fantastic program but HBS will put you in a leauge of its own. It’s 180k with moving up 8 spots? What type of scholarship you think hbs would give?
Coach
HBS is need-based financial aid, I come from an impact background and very modest family, so prob will still get a good amount of aid according to their calculator, just not as much as Yale
I was in the exact same position and chose HBS. - tuition is also cheaper at HBS. I ended up getting a 50% need based scholarship from HBS and had literally been working in consulting for 6 years before going so it’s not like I had no money. They are extremely generous with financial aid. HBS is 1000% worth it. My experience is soooo much better here than it would be at SOM. Harvard has arguably the most powerful brand for grad school and recruiters know that. It provides way more opportunities than SOM (now and for the rest of my life)
I’d do HBS tbh but som is great
honestly me too and rethinking if I want to go to bschool but you’ll always have HBS on your resume
Hbs
Follow the money
Try to get data points from ppl to see what income typically translated to what aid package from HBS. Given your background, you might get a significant amount (no clue but at least half?).
I think the difference may be more like 25-50%. These two schools are in different leagues, so the difference may be worth it. That said…if you just want to do consulting, HBS isn’t really going to change things for you.
