选校求助 Kellogg (with $90k) vs. MIT Sloan (w/o scholarship)

piyeye · 发表于 2014-1-1 10:37:32

本人女，28, 美本，３年healthcare VC (Bay Area), 2年biotech marketing/strategy经验 (Shanghai and Bay Area, manager level), 毕业后想去management consulting/product management (healthcare or IT), long-term想创业/做VC。Round 1申请了５所，rejected by H/S/W, In@ Kellogg (with $90k) and MIT Sloan (w/o scholarship)

想听听各位真诚的意见应该如何选择。非常感谢！

补充：也申请了Tuck EA, 录取没有奖学金，虽然Tuck也很心仪，但是因为本科学校类似，想去个大点的学校所以准备不去了。如果你被Tuck waitlist了请联系我，也许我可以帮到。

Added on Jan 2, 2014:

My understanding is that the both schools are big on collaboration, are equal in ranking, and have almost equal alumni presence in Bay Area (where my boyfriend is). And I'm trying not cloud my judgement with the undeniably very generous scholarship offered by Kellogg (almost equal to $130k pre-tax income). My own thoughts:

Kellogg:
pros: More well-rounded and esp. strong in general management (which opens door to almost any career options other than maybe finance), larger and more engaged alumni network, looks more fun and stylish..
cons: weaker in finance (given my long-term goal to go back to investment), weaker on the analytical/quantitative side

MIT Sloan:
pros: stronger parent institution (more likely to meet potential business partners from engineering schools, for example), stronger in tech/biotech entrepreneurship, Boston!
cons: weaker in areas outside of tech entrepreneurship...weaker training on soft skills (that's just my initial impression but I could be totally wrong..)

I will visit both schools in February and would really appreciate more of your input in the meantime (esp. if you are a current student/alum of either school). Thanks!!

lz Cong 和新年快乐！

两个都是牛逼学校，我是申master的本科小孩儿就不跟着瞎掺和了，在申MIT MFin，对男神买买提都是爱。

不过看lz的cg，觉得短期目标似乎K更好，长期目标的话虽说好似Sloan更好，但是lz可再工作的时候为长期目标做极其充足的准备，加之K给了好多钱，故我的话会选K。

另外我觉得lz也可以考虑和学校的culture，我不太了解K，但肯定和Sloan不一样我相信。。。所以看lz觉得哪里更fit了。

PS lz我现在在一VC实习，最近也在看些mHealth的项目，对Healthcare也很想多学习了解，如果可以的话可否加Q，我私信你~ 谢谢

anywho，祝一切顺利！

两家我比较偏好Sloan, 对Kellogg不感冒.
不过不可否认两家都是top schools, you can't go wrong with either one, so with the money I'd take Kellogg, unless 90k means nothing to you and you have a special thing for Sloan (then you won't be asking this question here)... So Kellogg it is.

可不是。。。这奖学金大概在学校历史上都没先例吧！
何况K在PE/VC的presence也很强。
