I’m very interested in applying to business schools with a strong social impact / social innovation focus. So far thinking of applying to Stanford, Haas and Yale. Only want to apply to 4 schools max this cycle - anyone have strong thoughts on what school should be the 4th?

MIT Sloan!! One of the largest (if not the largest) impact investing clubs in the country, big focus on sustainability (MIT Sustainability Summit, MIT Energy Summit, the sustainability certificate, etc.). Applying R1 and already ready with my “why Sloan?”

Would consider adding CBS to the mix - check out the tamer center there - lots of good resources there. On a practical level, there is a huge benefit to being in the city.

You’ll have lots of exposure & opportunities to meet, visit and intern with social impact organizations (ranging from social enterprises and mission-driven companies to impact investors to NGOs).
