As I said in the post I was accepted to both schools and they are both top notch! You really can't make a bad choice between the two. Personally, my decision was swayed by two major factors. The first was my class visit. I was very impressed with the Kellogg faculty and students during my class visit. The class was very, very impressive, the discussion was robust and the students were all highly engaged. I really felt that "team" environment that Kellogg is known for. The second factor for me was the "support" system that Kellogg has in place. The partners/significant connections program that Kellogg has in place is second to none. For my wife and I this was a key factor. We will be moving to Chicago so having a group of folks to plug into right away was key. These two factors contrast fairly strongly to my experiences in the GSB classroom and the discussions that I had regarding a "spousal" support system from the GSB. I'm happy to share more, just let me know what is on your mind. Irax,

I would love to hear more about your thought process and why you picked Kellogg! I am deciding between the GSB and Kellogg, although for the part-time program.
