A great school. Well known for marketing, but its real strength is in analytical rigor. No emphasis of bullshit class participation. Just ask what you need to, and just say if you think it will benefit the class. Personally I think Kellogg is stronger in strategy (heavy usage of game theory) than marketing.

Dsclosure: I went to Kellogg.

I had a chance to talk to Dean Donald Jacobs of Kellogg, when I was attending Kellogg. He said that deans of 6 or 7 business schools regularly meet together. I don't know how, but they compare student workload of each school. The top was Stanford, and unlike general reputation Kellogg was second. I think it makes sense. Both schools have quarter system, not semester. Quarter is much busier. A Wharton grad may say they divide a semester into 2 sub-semester. OK, but Kellogg also has 1/2 quarter classes. Stanford probably has, too.

Anyway, it seems Stanford emphasize enough rigor and has strong entrepreneurship culture.

A good school. Rigorous, no bullshit, and practical. The only down side is to be near HBS. Don't compare yourself too much with them.

To be honest, HBS is a problem when it comes to ranking. No one dares to rank it low.

To be fair, it is a good school. I don't agree with the school's teaching method - case, class participation, less emphasis on details, etc. But, it somehow gives students leadership. Teaching without teaching?

Good school academically, but does not seem very pragmatic. They treat MBAs like undergrads. But it must be really nice to listen to great Economists there, who created theories that created moden finance markets and new economic policies.

Not much to say. It seems balanced.

I have a good impression about them. They seem to work really hard. I knew an MBA from there when I was a summer intern. She said the professors there say "we should work much harder to compete against HBS."
