Dude, you people are killing the thread here… How about we break it down this way: For IB, PE, HF: Wharton & Chicago For investment mgmt :Columbia & ? For VC, new venture, Tech: Stanford For Management: HBS, Kellogg For Strategy consulting: ???
I would like to study. Nonetheless, I can’t afford the courses =(
I know Booth is also pretty strong on investment management and strategic consulting. Hell, I think McK hired like 30 people from Booth last year. Don’t know much about other schools becuase I am not applying anywhere else. yea dude, don’t kill the thred with that U of P $hit here. I got my master there and it was the biggest waste of $$$

Among the 3 of them I have never heard them say a single intelligent thing. Its not like I expect them to be super smart but they are dump i.e. below average intellect. Moreover, all 3 have terrible social skill. Its not just me who says this. Hence, I maintain that top MBA programs are a scam. MBA never taught no one nothing.
it’s ‘dumb.’ Unbeleivable.
you’re grammar is not impeccable neither.
I actually DO believe what you say, needhelp. There is this one guy I know who has a MBA from Harvard. He later became the President of a major Western country despite sub-par intelligence and poor English skills. People like that are out there. But for every 1 person like that, I can point to 5 people who are hard working, imtelligent, successful, and interesting. I have been talking to many Booth Alum and I can honestly say so far the vast majority of them are the latter of the two. I absolutely disagree with you on the value of an MBA. Hell, I even know CFAs working in the back office balancing trades. Does it mean CFA is not useful?
For me CFA was more useful than MBA but my MBA was from a miniature pony school. I love CFA and miss it. Wish I could do it all over again.

Wish I could do it all over again. I’m sure CFAI will be more than happy to let you start all over again, all full price of course.

I met 2 charterholders the other day that couldn’t carry a conversation and didn’t know what a coupon was. I guess I should just assume all charterholders are dumb.
king_kong are you a charterholder? how about an MBA?

Charterholders make so much money that they have someone who does their grocery shopping for them, so they don’t need to know what coupons are.
F everything, Imma go to med school.

Modern Finance theory was basically invented at Booth. Their program is near the top of my list.
I remember bumping into Eugene Fama and Gary Becker and didn’t know who they were when I was an undergrad there.
Pardon the attitude but whats rocket science about Modern Finance theory? I think its just a simple exercise that any engineer can pick up in 2 hours or less.

People got in H/S but got rejected by lower schools is not news at all. The admin process is a big black box and that is why you should apply for more than 1 top schools. I have a friend (for undergrad) who recently got rejected by WashU and got in H.
