I found that attending admitted students' events in my city was the best way to check your fit with the class. The quality of alumni in your desired field (research on Linkedin) was another big factor in deciding the intellectual horsepower of the school.

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 it was the obvious choice considering where you were actually accepted. not good enough for the elite schools like stanford & mit (0)

Anon Likes Earned: 0 MIT being elite lols (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 lol jealousy Booth student. Harvard & MIT are the most represented schools in popular media. There's very few people on this earth who hasn't heard of MIT. If you say you went to Booth, people think Waffle House booth. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 That logic, Yale is also elite (0)

Anon Likes Earned: 0 Oh yeah because popular media is representative of what elite schools are... Why don't you try Princeton next lol (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Yale is elite. The only people who say otherwise are jealous Booth students. Probably insecure that Dean Snyder left them and their momentum has stalled big time (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Are people seriously questioning whether MIT sloan is elite? they have traditionally been in the top and wins cross admit battles against Booth. Much lower acceptance rate. Booth traditionally has the lowest yield for any M7 school for a reason (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 If Princeton bothered to have a b-school, it would reach the top. Don't know how anyone would dispute this (0)

Anon Likes Earned: 0 Only elites schools are Stanford and HBS. The joke was the first comment putting Stanford and MIT in the same sentence, and above Booth. MIT is in the same second tier as Booth. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Princeton would have a terrible b-school. The reputation of the school doesn't do anything for the business school, just ask Cornell... no alumni, no firms recruiting, no established program... (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Sad Wharton trolls trashing Booth as usual. Their inferiority complex on this forum is really getting old. Time to get over the rankings and enjoy you experience! (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Nobody thought Yale would have a top school but now it's in top 10 and making some serious momentum. You think Princeton can't do the same with their resources & network? And Cornell is different - no one who goes to a real Ivy considers Cornell as an Ivy school. It's a safety school for decent but not great candidates. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Why does MIT constantly win cross admit battles over Booth? Why does Booth have the lowest yield of any M7 school? It's safe to say they are not same level (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 its so sad to see Booth trolls spend their summer disparaging other schools because they couldn't get into the schools of their choice. sad (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Lol @ MIT being elite (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 no surprise... more salty booth students disparaging other schools. IN what universe, is MIT not elite? (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Internationally, whether you are in Europe/Asia, it's Harvard > Yale > MIT. In 99% of cases, you'll be better off getting an MBA from Yale than somewhere like Booth, even though the latter is M7 school. Strange but the reality. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Yeah Princeton >>>> Cornell (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Anyone who disputes that MIT is an elite brand is being argumentative just to be contrarian (0)

Anon Likes Earned: 0 Exactly, MIT will always have an amazing brand. The school's name is known around the world and it is in fact an elite M7 business school focused on the future. Can't hate (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 I was all set to go to Booth and turned it down when MIT accepted me from the WL. Being an international student that is just the way it is! MIT is a peer school with better brand worldwide. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Only Booth students would argue that their school has a better brand than MIT. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 MIT has a business school? (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 The Anonymous below is the same kind of person that would look into applying to Princeton MBA (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 the fact that booth's own kids don't even go to that school says it all really (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 What is Booth going to do now that all the other schools, like Kellogg & Yale, now have their own money bank? That was Booth's only real advantage and now thats gone (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 If Princeton ever decided to have a b-school, it would easily rise up rankings. Really not understanding the power & reach of their network (0)

Anon Likes Earned: 0 So where do you place ROSS in all these comments. A school to watch out for in my opinion (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Ross is a character in Friends played by David Schwimmer (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 In my honest opinion Ross is a cut above Phoebe but still a long way behind Chandler - while his self deprecating humour has its moments, nothing can compare to Chandlers sarcastic wit (0)
