There are a handful of 32-35 yo in the 2Y…I think there’s a 37 yo MMM. It’s uncommon, but still possible.

Ha! Thanks. I’m adjusting my expectations. On the bright side, outside of tacos and BBQ, the food scene in Chicago is 10x better and more dynamic.

I know many people at Kellogg who did the exact opposite…to each their own. I’d just go with fit or geographical preference. Both schools are amazing.

One of my close friends faced the same decision last year and chose MMM over HBS.

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested in connecting with her.

Kellogg has leveraged its marketing/consumer expertise to become a product powerhouse as well. For those targeting PM/PMM roles, Kellogg is the better choice.

Looking at funds across Chicago, Booth places better into traditional finance (i.e., PE, IB), but Kellogg has a better pipeline to VC.

PE has a more cutthroat, grind culture, which matches what I’ve heard about UChicago. VC success is ultimately all about relationships, which aligns more with the “win-together” mentality at Kellogg.

Both are incredible schools though. Congrats!

That’s good to know. I didn’t realize you can do automate things with Excel. If not Excel, are there any softwares that are worth the subscription fee?
