Hello fellow students,
I wanted to get a poll going or figure out the general consensus on these two programs. I am happy to say I was admitted into both programs. Cornell even gave me a small scholarship. Some things to consider below:
- I currently live in the south
- Columbia is 30 minutes away from my dad (I have never lived with him, which could cause issues)
- I am 25 and feel that moving to Ithaca, NY would make me a better man because I would be on my own
- I currently own a house and a car
- Scholarship is less than 5k
- Sloan seems like the oldest of the two programs
- My goal is to be a hospital executive in a non-for-profit ideally, but life takes turns
- I plan on getting a job to supplement me while I study
- Sloan is 70kish, Columbia is 77-80Kish
- During Sloan interview and even after I felt that they genuinely care and are selective on who they choose into the program. Columbia just sent the letter of acceptance.
- I plan to apply to fellowships after graduation (HCA, Massachusetts General Hospital 2 year fellowship, UCF One year fellowship)
Thank you for your time. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
