NYU Stern vs Yale SOM

[bons]

I got accepted to the Full time MBA at Stern and Yale. I am having a tough time deciding and I wanted to hear some unbiased points of view and what you guys think of the two programs.

Thanks in advance and best of luck to everyone!

Two very different programs! Where have you worked/what have you done thus far? Where do you want to go/what do you want to do with your degree?

Well I am an industrial engineer, have been working in technology/software in engineering and consulting and now I am looking for a career switch but I am not entirely sure to what... Something I do value is social conscience in business decisions.

From education and reputation quality standpoints, you have two great choices, and you won't go wrong with either one. I suggest that you spend some time carefully examining any alumni data you can get your hands on, since you'll be an alum way longer than you'll be a student, and one of the key pieces in the MBA value equation is the alumni network! Where are alums working and living? Do these jobs and locations appeal to you? At the same time, work your own network and try to find some alums from each school to talk to. You may get a sense right away which population will be a better fit for you...
