inuendo: Congrats on your acceptances!! It’s definitely a tough choice for you! Each school offers a unique array of opportunities; it just depends on what you are looking for. I don’t know if it helps at all, but if you go to the above link, Stanford is listed as #4 for feeder school & the comments note that they do a “particularly strong job at spawning MBA stars” (Columbia was #11) Personally, my main goal is to get the best overall undergraduate education so that when I get a full-time job before apply for grad school, I will prepared to face anything at work and be able to do my best to contribute to the company. I hear LACs such as Swarthmore and UChicago prep you incredibly well because of their focus on a quantitative education. Best of Luck :)
