Anon Likes Earned: 0 Although, for consulting, Tuck is believed to have stronger ties with MBB as well as a more "gen mgmt./ consulting" oriented program, However, you couldn't go wrong with either choices considering their strong brand & reputations. Maybe culture, location, cost etc could help you decide. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 At this point, go with Yale SOM. Better brand internationally and places just as well in consulting. The differences are minimal and Yale is showing some serious momentum. (0)

MBA Guy Likes Earned: 0 proximity to great city, stronger global brand, great consulting relationships - Yale seems to make sense but both are strong. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Tuck is a better option because of a larger pool of consulting and a lot more famous for consulting. People in business, especially consulting world value it more. My background is top consulting. and I think that you can leverage more on Tuck network. Yale has its brandname but not much for business, especially not in consulting field, if you are looking into NGOs, non-profit, then Yale might make sense. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 You would need an experience and the opportunity, things you would explore at MBA matters and I think Tuck will give you that. The branding is YOU. If you go to Tuck and have a higher chance in MBB consulting, that beats everything already (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Think carefully.. what do you value.. just branding or learning experience. However, talking about global brand, people who hires you are people in business field and they know Tuck is a great school. If you look at job in non-profit, then Yale. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 SOM has done remarkably well with MBB recruiting over the past couple years. I feel that it is now fully on par with Tuck in this regard. I think the only question in your mind should be one of fit. Personally I would go with Tuck because I like the quaint, small-town environment with close proximity to some great outdoor recreation opportunities. If that doesn't sound appealing to you, then go with SOM (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Yale's MBB consulting numbers this year are insane. And its a continuing trend. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Yale has a better number in MBB but surely not in the same league with Tuck (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 No question on this one. Yale is rising. Will be in top 5 and will be top MBB recruiter. Trust me (0)

anon16203 Likes Earned: 3 Why do you think Tuck MBA program is better? GMATs of the students are lower, network is smaller, facilities are older, professors are less reknowned, university ranking is worse. Yale revised core curriculum is innovative and is updated for the modern times, while Tuck is still working with, most likely HBS, case studies. Also Tuck = cornfields. Not that New Haven is great, but at least it's close to Boston and NYC, which are both fun. (0)
