anon34829 Likes Earned: 18 Amazing results man. I'm on the WL from Kellogg and have the admit from LBS. (0)

anon37829 Likes Earned: 61 Any reason to turn down Kellogg? Isn’t the deposit just a sunk cost in the long run or do you feel that LBS is a better brand in Europe? (0)

anon67988 Likes Earned: 59 @37829 it seems like OP paid the housing deposit at LBS. so, more money involved probably. (1)

anon10398 Likes Earned: 34 @MarathonRunner - congrats on both admits! @anon37829 unless I am mistaken, the deposit at LBS is 9,000 British pounds and this is around $11,000. Add the amount one would spend to relocate to the US, and you are talking close to $15k-$20k. Not everyone can afford to spare (or wash in your language) such an amount. IMGO, both schools are similar and one would argue that LBS stands out vs. Kellogg because of its location (London). So, there are tons of reasons and we can only congratulate the OP and wish him/her the best of luck! (1)

anon16200 Likes Earned: 134 I would argue LBS is a better brand than Northwestern in the world. Kellogg is an excellent school, as any rankings will tell you, but I feel like Kellogg's brand is limited to MBA community. I have worked in finance for 5 years, but did not really know much about Kellogg until I started researching MBA programs. (1)
