做完VC去consulting？这个也太奇怪了吧

这个思路偶也觉得很奇怪的说。

If you are indeed committed to entrepreneurship in long run, MIT is a no-brainer. The parent institution( I mean HYPSM level) weighs far more than an MBA degree that just brings a chance of landing a consultant/banker job. Of course, that's exactly what many CDers are pursuing.

Believe me, Sloan opens you a door to some truly amazing, hard-science technologies with the potentials of changing the landscape of mankind. And even more so than those from Stanford.

If your are not so keen on entrepreneurship, then $90K and two years of cozy life are definitely something to consider.

By the way, the essentials to be a good venture capitalist are guts and vision, rather than financial modeling and quantitative  skills, though they matter as well. Domain expertise is vital too, while wide network is needed in either PE or VC.

我也来求搭讪，尽管看了这个帖子就知道自己kellogg没戏了，因为背景和楼主太过相似。

Don't get me wrong... Kellogg is a great school with great alums.
Its name is highly reputable and decent in US. If I were to walk a typical MBA path, say consulting/banking/corporate etc., I might lean more to Kellogg over Sloan, not to mention my personal favor for a team-based and laid-back culture.

But if the goal is to have an EDUCATION(more than bschool education) experience and gain resources(especially engineering and technology) to leverage in the future, Sloan,or more importantly, MIT has more to offer.

前辈好！如果将来想做Investment，真的还是选MIT吧，校友资源和业内名声都好很多。不过西北Kellogg在香港挺学长学姐说很好使得。我也不是很懂，祝求学工作都顺利！
