去西北还是芝加哥? (Kellogg or Chicago GSB)

Did you attend DAK yourself? Which one?   

And for others on this forum, keep in mind that people tend to exaggerate, generalize, and stereotype.  Take everything you read with a grain of salt. And I really don't think Kellogg is as rah rah rah as they say it is, and Chicago GSB students certainly aren't all nerds either.    

Oh, I didn't say "rah rah" in a negative way! only that I think they overdit a bit at DAK (I was at DAK-I. Maybe the organizers felt they needed to combat the cold weather outside). Then again, I also felt that the current students were very proud of their school and you could just sense their energy in the air - a great thing, I would say! I should also add that DAK (the welcome weekend at Kellogg) was one of the best ones I attended, very organized and informative.

I think at any school, there will be some people who are sort of the outcast socially (or in any other way . The vast majority are more or less alike at least in terms of social skills. After all, applying to business school is sort of a self-selecting process. Those who are the true nerds probably wouldn't bother to apply. To survive the corporate world, you have to be a people person.

Great comments, as always.  I agree with you 110%.  Hey by the way, where are you heading yourself?

芝加哥出名人

至少连战就是芝加哥毕业的

I prefer UChicago, because:

1. reputation, UC has a better world-wide reputation than NW, even Kellogg has better ranks than UC GSB

2. size of alumni. UC and its GSB have bigger network of alumni either in US and China than NW and Kellogg

真心希望GSB没有录取楼主。简直是在帮倒忙！

1。你提供的ranking data shows that GSB is only better on Finance,Accounting, and Quantitative analysis, but trails on all other aspects.I don't know why you are showing data that weakens your argument. Also,your claim that UC is more reputable than NWU world-wide is veryquestionable. It's probably true to most Chinese, but certainly not thewhole world. Your claim just show that you probably have never been toor lived in other countries. At least in the U.S., NWU is same as, ifnot slightly better than, UC as far as the reputation among generalAmericans. And there is certainly not that much difference when you aretalking about B-Schools. Both are top-notch school and you would needto make a choice using other criteria.

2. From data on Kellogg's website, Kellog currently has 45000+ alumni.Meanwhile, GSB's website shows that GSB has about 39000 alumni. I don'tknow how you came to your conclusion.

In general, the criteria that you used to pick schools shows that youhave not done your homework very well. And the way you come up aconclusion without enough data support also shows that you are not verylogical, which means you are probably not suitable for GSB, wherelogical thinking is a key to success. If you get into GSB by accident,I feel sorry for the school.

Also, since you were rejected by Kellogg, it does not sound very good when you say you "prefer" GSB.

i am sorry to let you feel sorry or upset for the school which admitted me.

sorry 让你"皇帝不急太监急"了
