Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 You should pick Kellogg over Wharton in a heartbeat. I would suggest picking Kellogg over HBS after much consideration. If your goal was something else, I'd say HBS, but with social impact, you need to follow the $ so you won't be in massive debt. (0)

Pick Kellogg Likes Earned: 0 I echo what the previous anon said - since you are pursuing social impact, the money means a lot. Kellogg is also awesome for social impact, and I really think you will have fantastic opportunities in this space through Kellogg. At the end of the day, for your goals in non-profit/social impact, what are the real differences in opportunity between HBS and Kellogg? I feel like you would just be paying all of that extra money just to say you went to HBS. Would HBS really give you social impact opps you simply can't get at Kellogg? (0)

Waitlisted at HBS Likes Earned: 0 Choose Kellogg! In all seriousness, two great options (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 I think US federal loans offer a forgiveness schedule for social impact careers. I agree that Kellogg is the clear choice over Wharton, but it can't compare to HBS. HBS is a kingmaker and will completely transform your career. Great choice to have to make though. good luck whatever you decide. (0)

HBS Likes Earned: 0 because presidents go to harvard. you could end up like bush. regardless of political affiliation, that man made social impact. (0)

Anon Likes Earned: 0 I wouldn't turn down hbs. In the long run the opps it can provide are unparalleled. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 HBS! They give need-based aid so there's a chance for some money there too. (0)

Anon Likes Earned: 0 I personally will never pass up the opportunity to carry the HBS name for the rest of my life. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 I'd go to Kellogg. Go to DAK and check the campus out if you are in doubt. I have friends that have gone to both schools and reputations are pretty much the same (all excellent and highly regarded). (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Hard to say no to that kind of money! (0)

Anon Likes Earned: 0 Screw the $, you have no idea how much people are willing to pay to have the HBS brand (0)

LOL Likes Earned: 0 All the commenters who are telling you to pick Kellogg are on HBS WL. GO to HBS, it's a no brainer. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Also, doesn't HBS give out need-based aid you will probably qualify for?? (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 I would choose Kellogg if I were you. They are real about their social impact program. It doesn't feel as corporate there. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Yes you can! I don't think HBS is worth $110 K over Kellogg. If you were looking into finance they it is a diff talk (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Kellogg for me. (0)

lmao Likes Earned: 0 these comments are hilarious. Do not listen to these wait-listed trolls - GO TO HBS. Harvard is the best school in the world. Period. Kellogg is great, but barely known outside of the business world. 100k will seem marginal down the road in your career when you are surrounded by a network of incredible and powerful HBS alum (0)
