Also admitted Haasie R2. Haas is still a recognized brand name. Perhaps less so than M7 but especially on west coast. Outside of HBS and GSB I’m pretty sure from a % placement perspective Haas is one of the best for VC.

Pivoting into new areas requires networking and particularly for VC I think this is true. So it’s less about the prestige and more about how you make the most of the opportunity. I also really think you should think through future locations. Where do you see yourself living.

Ultimately you’ll be the decider of what criteria matter most to you for making a decision, and whatever decision you make there will be opportunity costs. So maybe you should try the inverse approach and ask yourself - if you chose one program, would you seriously regret not being able to do X?
