Notes:

Really struggling with this decision after attending both admit days. “You can’t go wrong” seems to the main advice. I see merits to both schools and just can’t decide. I like the quantitative rigor, maybe slighhtlyyyy better consulting/entrepreneurship, and access to events/firms downtown of booth.
