Does booth usually have better rankings?
Booth > Haas (always at the cusp of M7) > anything that's not M7
Booth up top (not even a debate, have always been a top 5 school, and in m7). Haas and tuck are pretty even, just depends what you want to do. I’d say tuck takes the prestige factor though. Then Cornell. While an ivy, the business school is a top 15-20
Booth has consistently better rankings
I feel that Tuck is so underrated

Schools on your list are so different. Do you want to end up east, west, Midwest? Be in a city, rural, weather considerations. Big school, small school. Work in tech, finance, health care. I will say I hardly ever run into Cornell grads. They may end up going into finance or cpg or something but I never see them.
Booth grads are everywhere and are very inconsistent. Some are brilliant. Others are annoying. But I see people wearing booth shirts walking around the airport in Hong Kong. It is a huge school and has been around a while.. a super broad network.
Every hass grad I’ve met is very smart and grounded. And they seem to really value community and mentor ship, etc. But the alumni network is pretty small so they have to be close. They all stay in California pretty much.
I’ve met a few tuck folks and I’d agree it is under rated. It’s also a small school so you have the issue with the network. And it’s sort of in the middle of no where so it’s a very focused experience.
I’d say if you have no context to make the decision, Booth is your safest bet followed by tuck, haas, and then much lower Cornell.
If you want tech then def Berkeley. If you want finance or mbb and a small number of close friends from the experience then tuck.
There is no reason to consider Cornell if you have these others as options.
Google placement report for Berkeley and you’ll see that for tech, and they’re only second to stanford and foster. You shouldn’t care about prestige but care more about your goal. What industry do you want to target? Reread my first post and I’ll you’ll see that I’m spot on for placements for finance and tech
I always liked this tiered ranking from ClearAdmit. They look at which schools are cross applied to most often. From their website regarding Tiers 3 and 3A, "some might group all nine schools in the same tier, or move a few around within Tiers 3 and 3A... some might argue Tuck stands slightly above the others."

Tuck is so underrated - really strong business school and community that will pay dividends, throughout markets but especially on East Coast. (I went to D for undergrad and firm has a lot of Tuck grads). Booth is also strong, but less tight knit from what I’ve heard from folks who have gone there. I’d say the two are comparable - “prestige” is relative so I’d define decisions based on which industry/role you want to go and which community will help you more.
Haas is strong on West Coast but not as much on East.
I’d throw booth in that 1A tier
^ great, feel free to ask any clarifying questions
Booth and Wharton are def the best for finance
Prob haas booth or tuck depending on what u wanna do after
Haas for tech, booth for finance or mbb, and then tuck and Cornell
Agree with PWC1 broadly! Though I’d say that folks should assess network in two ways - size/breadth and depth. Tuck is a small school but the network will really pull for you and go above and beyond what other school alums generally do - same goes for Kellogg and GSB culture. So I don’t think we can easily say Booth wins over Tuck without knowing the industry and geographic context in which OP wants to work!
