求助选校－Cornell vs Yale vs Duke for asset management or consulting

yuyeerlli

各位大神，小妹在此求助，快截止了，选校好纠结。。内容如下

Admitted school:               Duke Fuqua, Yale SOM, Cornell Johnson, no $$.
Background:                     investment consulting for institutional fund in UK; CFA charter holder; maths stats undergraduate.
Target industry:                buy side asset management or strategic consulting (not decided)
Target location:                US for 2-5 years immediately post MBA, long term back in Asia
Participated admitted student weekend:                 Duke and Cornell, and Yale only for a day

三个学校都超friendly， 尤其是cornell，整个已经融入进去了。可惜yale我只visit了一天也没见到未来同学也没和什么club人聊天，不过就业率统计书面上面差不多。Fuqua偏consulting，fiannance就不是很行感觉，yale和cornell都差不多。

大家觉得选校啥最重要， 我这怎么选啊, 还请多给点分析啊。 万分感激！！

I think it's a no brainer - go for Yale. The reason is simple: it's Yale.

Really? but a lot of ppl said that in terms of business school Yale is behind...

I was in a similar situation - I have Duke, Ross and Cornell. I ended up picking Cornell altho its ranking is lower. As my post-MBA goal is to do IB on Wall Street, I think Cornell is relatively more competitive among these three school. PLUS...(don't call me lame) it has the Ivy brand.

HOWEVER...now you have Yale as an option, I would then pick Yale if I were you as you'll have both school prestige and academic standards.

Yea, its location - Ithaca is kinda shady. My trips to the school were both "dramatic" (not in a good way).

Yes, I'll be in the Class of 2016. (BTW, how's the DJ weekend?)

就MBA而言 Duke > Cornell > Yale

就回国骗人而言 Yale > Cornell > Duke

buy side？没中国人什么事情，leader再多你也就是和人家瞎扯5分钟而已
