alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1747 Are you planning to remain in the Midwest? Are there any scholarship considerations? Booth may well standout here? but I’d scrutinise their career reports, VC/PE is always tough even from the very top programs. (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1943 Congrats on your acceptances to Booth, Kellogg and Johnson. All three are great MBA programs with a good track record of finance industry placement. Having said this, Booth would have the edge for PE/VC placement. For example, looking at the employment reports, among Class of 2024 MBA graduates seeking employment and accepting jobs, Booth placed 35 grads (8%) into PE/VC jobs compared to 20 (5.4%) for Kellogg and 4 (1.9%) for Johnson. In addition, if you want to stay in the Midwest, Booth and Kellogg would have a geographic advantage over Johnson. Do you have any personal preference between Booth and Kellogg? (0)
