*Got a top tier consulting internship, and ultimately full-time offer, without any prior consulting experience.
* Amazing student body. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Very collaborative, instead of competitive. Welcome change from my undergrad days at NYU Stern, in which everyone was competitive and cold.
* Great school culture. Multiple Kellogg school events per week and lots of school spirit. Very diverse groups of people, and everyone will find a place to fit in. Definitely the most fun business school in the M7. When we have Kellogg versus Booth school events, literally 4 times Kellogg students attend than Booth students.
* Ton of options with classes, and you can choose to take anywhere between 3 and 5 credits per semester. So you can be lazy and take 3, and put your attention elsewhere (e.g. socially, extracurriculars, start-ups), or 5 every quarter if you value academics
* Have made countless close friends who I expect to still be close to a decade from now.
* Location is great. 30 minutes away from the city, so people tend to hang out with each other and develop strong bonds...but city is close enough that if you get bored it's easy to uber/train out there for cheap.
Great assortment of classes. If you go to a smaller school, you might miss some cool electives. For example, I'm interested in strategy and healthcare, and there's a ton of options.
Everyone recruits from this school. Whereas not everyone will get MBB, Google, GS (although a ton do), everyone can find a join that pays $120k base + quity + signing. People who take less money, or people who aren't employed at graduation have specific job goals (that either pay less, or do just-in-time hiring). If you're worried about finding a job, don't worry. Literally everyone who wants to be employed with a high paying job, is.
