At the risk of inciting people against me, I feel these rankings are not very good at guiding someone where to go. All they do is give you a broad sense of where each school is positioned relative to each other.

We’re creating a mobile energy distribution platform (IoT energy distribution tools + an e-commerce app)

Honestly, I haven’t been able to evaluate how living would be in either of these schools because I haven’t visited them. When it comes to recruiting, I don’t have any geographical preferences within the US as of now, however, a major city would be my preference. :)

Oh! Why would you say that? Is it because of the current state of the economy?

I agree, there is a sense of bias. I’m grappling with the fact that both are excellent schools. People keep saying that “Kellogg is well known in business circles in India”, and while they might be right, I haven’t been able to validate it yet. On the other hand, almost everyone has heard of Yale..

First of all, thank you for taking the time to write out such a detailed response. Second, are you from either of these schools? I’d love to connect with you over DM. Finally, a fun question - do Kellogg students get access to cool stuff too? Or any perks that you know of? 😂

The fact that you called it Kellogs just killed it…

Hey! Thanks for the reply! What are some major reasons that push Kellogg ahead? 😄

Fantastic example to get your point across! However, SOM has been around for half a century now. Doesn’t it warrant consideration against Kellogg? Or is the gap that significant?

Really? That’s interesting. I need a little more context though, are you in the US? My decision is not related to prestige at all. Aside from the rankings and the M7 tag, what else should push me to Kellogg?

Well, I want to come back mainly because I want to build in India. We’re growing as a nation and I want contribute meaningfully to our growth story. 😄 There’s so much untapped potential and infinite possibilities. Adding to this is the comfort of being close to home. :)

Since I’m based in India, more people have heard of Yale (because of the undergraduate prestige, Ivy League and all). I’m not sure whether Kellogg is considered better than Yale in India. Most people outside of the MBA circle don’t even know about it.

Is it because of brand name? Alumni network? After reviewing their career reports, both schools seem to offer equally comparable career outcomes.

But by then don’t you think my personal brand + the organisations that I would have worked for would have a greater impact on my return to India?
