Notes:

I have an interview for HBS in R2. Need to decide between MIT and Booth. I prefer MIT but Booth gave more money. I am trying to justify turning down Booth even though MIT will cost about 58k more on tuition. Is it crazy to do that?

Fit for a program is very important, and Sloan may well be a better fit for you, much like Booth might be a better fit for someone else (with different goals, different preferences for the learning model, etc) best of luck with HBS!
