<p>I'm currently accepted to both the weekend MBA at Chicago and the evening MBA at Ross. While I appreciate that Chicago is likely a slight notch above Michigan, I currently live in Michigan (about an hour from Ann Arbor and 4 hours from Chicago.) For that reason, it would be far easier to attend Michigan, not to mention I would appreciate the flexibility the Michigan MBA offers... I already have an advanced degree and a solid job, but I would like to make a career switch after completing my MBA.</p>
<p>My question: Do I lose out enough on taking Michigan over Chicago to justify the added cost/time/effort to attend the Weekend program over the Evening program. I also got into Kellogg Weekend, so consider Kellogg/Chicago interchangeable for the purposes of this question.</p>
<p>Hey there bud I’m new to this site so I can’t quote any statistics or links like the other people have shown to other sites but can only help you based on my WE.
What I’ve found out that Booth churns out more applicants to management and top finance positions compared to U of M GSB. For example 2-3 of my superiiors have their advanced degrees from Booth as opposed to (maybe) one that wasn’t on my floor from U of M. I mean the choice is all up to you, but I would think that Booth would also offer more networking and job opportunities world/nationwide compared to the relative in-state offers from U of M.
just my two cents :)</p>
<p>It all depends on what you want to do.
Booth for Finance
Kellogg for Marketing
Ross for Management
Also, Booth and Kellogg are not interchangeable. Those two schools have two distinctively different culture. Kellogg is more laid back and collaborative, whereas Booth is very quantative and individualistic. Booth will not afford you any better opportunities if you want to go work in the industry. </p>
<p>3yearsatBCG’s superiors are probably manager/partners at BCG. It’s not a representative sample, as top tier consulting firms mostly hire full-time MBA. </p>
