T2 consultant, 4 years of work experience

Got admitted to CBS, and debating whether to not go and reapply to HSW next year - is it worth it?

It seems to me that, besides ultra elite jobs that anyways I would not have a chance to given my background, outcomes are largely the same

I am very excited about CBS but it seems a lot of people are HSW or bust

Thoughts?

Unless you are aiming at Private Equity or VC, going to Columbia will not heavily influence your outcome. If you are aiming for PE or VC, you still have a shot from Columbia, but it will be a lot harder than if you were at HSW

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard which is why I think CBS is great for me. Anyways, given my background, PE/ VC would still be tough from HSW.

I suppose, for me, it’s just the additional level of prestige, which I suppose it’s not that big

Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
