I’m a bit emotional from my W rejection and may be jumping the gun too quick but need help deciding, so any constructive input is appreciated.
I got into Kellogg ($) and rejected post interview from the other 4 M7s applied to. Given my post mba goal of entrepreneurship:
- should I turn down/try to defer Kellogg and reapply next year? (Will be able to demonstrate plenty of growth from now until next year)
- Or, take Kellogg and forget about the rest.

Do you have an idea of what you want to do? Or you’re looking to join someone else’s startup?
If the first, then take Kellogg for sure. No difference between the top 7 for creating your own startup. Slight edge for S and maybe H. But W is PE focused and won’t help you more than Kellogg.
If the secondC idk. I’d still lean Kellogg but don’t know enough to advise for sure

I think so!

You don’t really need an MBA for starting your own company though

Those are valid

Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.
