How big is the gap really between HS and W? I’m mostly targeting Tech.

imo the difference is very small.

For PE it's almost a wash unless you are targeting very specific firms. Quite a few MF PE firms has OCR connections at W (KKR, Apollo, Warburg, Carlyle, etc.). For east coast MF PE, Wharton is arguably better presented than GSB due to its sheer size. For VC, GSB is obviously on another level, but H and W are pretty close (3.5% going into VC for H over the past few years vs 2.8% for W).

For tech GSB has the advantage cuz location, H/W are the same (or most other M7s for that matter).

But more grandmas know Harvard so there's that.

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
