Not that consensus matters, but think there’s a rumor that most ppl who get into both H/S end up choosing GSB, but inside data from mbaMission (from a consultant working there) show that most choose HBS..? Is this true based on your personal observation?

I chose Wharton because I got into neither one of those!!! Loving my bronze medal energy rn because Cs get degrees

Plenty of examples in both directions, I am going to choose HBS over GSB. But I’m confident plenty of people will choose GSB over HBS. Do what’s right for you, both schools are incredible.

Yeah, also planning to go to HBS over GSB but just wanted to know if my decision is aligned with what most ppl do (doesn’t matter even if not). Consultant (mbaMission) said most end up choosing H, but that was contradicting to what I’ve been hearing on Reddit

I forget the name (Admission Wire? Clear Admission Wire? Something like that..), but that showed GSB winning handedly.

I imagine HBS wins a few more internationals wanting to go back home. But otherwise, GSB gives you all of the outcomes HBS would give you plus some unique access / opportunities.

At the end of the day though, different strokes for different folks.

VC + better resources for entrepreneurship

Both Clearadmit and Bloomberg show GSB winning most cross offers.

Also have both offers and a full ride to SOM. Goal is MBB and social impact in the long term — what would you do in my case?

Not 100% sure about source but I saw few years back HBS stills wins about 80% of duals. Recently, I am hearing it is down to 2/3 and one post I saw 55:45 HBS.

Yeah, and I guess the “prestige” aspect of it. But I also know plenty of MBB’ers who have absolutely no interest in finance and investing, and turn down HH reach outs for MFs. Just do what you are interested in and the money will follow

I can understand why many people would choose one over the other for location or industry purposes (tech/cali for S, finance/nyc for H), and some internationals put a little extra weight on H, but always was deterred from H bc the amount of coursework is way higher than at other schools and just seemed like it would be a pain in the ass

I'm happy with either pick but of course, I'd like to go to Stern over Cornell because of the ranking/location. Any advice would be appreciated.
