Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 MIT is a better school. Haas is immensely overrated. Just look at their poor employment stats. (0)

OP Likes Earned: 0 Reasons for Haas: 1, 2, 3) Culture/people; 4) Location -- both weather and proximity to Silicon Valley/VC; 5) Much better interview process. Haas is all about getting to know everyone else interviewing; Sloan felt super transactional. (But, granted, my interviewer at Sloan was awesome... just the process wasn't great.) I thought that was a reflection of each school's values. Also, to the skeptic in the first comment, Stanny releases most of their waitlist after round two and said there were only 25 of us left in the end. (0)

anon67721 Likes Earned: 0 Absolutely correct decision. MIT Sloan is overrated. The places totally boring and the students are borderline ugly. Lots of geeks and nerds. Very uninteresting group of people. Berkeley Haas is amazing and the opportunities leaving out of Haas are limitless. (0)
