Kellogg. Look at the outcomes from the two schools, and they truly are not that different. 110k is so much money. People are too obsessed with rankings.

Kellogg unless there’s some super specific reason you want Wharton

How is everyone automatically saying W under here? With no context? If OP wants to do consulting, or work for a f500 they’d be perfectly fine at Kellogg. These conversations shouldn’t just be based on rankings

W

Do you need the money ? Do you want to get into finance / live on the east coast specifically ? Its a lot of money to turn down tbh.

Also depends on where you want to live. As a Chicagoan, I’m more pro Kellogg and don’t think the Wharton network is as strong here. Honestly, MBAs also just value top MBAs in general. Heck I’d be just as interested in someone who went to Fuqua or Texas A&M as I would be in a Wharton person. I’ve met people from those schools who are super smart and talented. Not to mention way more fun...

Depends on where u want to live and what you want to do

Kellogg actually cares about students. Just look at how both schools have had such a different approach to covid. Wharton is definitely not the place to be

Can you elaborate? How have the approaches been different?

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc).
