Booth vs Kellogg for ETA?

by a searcher from Northwestern University

May 24,2023

Hi all,
I’m a Northwestern undergrad with 5 years of work experience in mechanical engineering/manufacturing, and I’m looking to get an mba and do a search fund. I’d like to stay in Chicago, so I’m debating between Kellogg or booth. Any ideas on how the two compare in terms of entrepreneurship through acquisition?

I'm one of the club co-chairs at Booth and a former ChemE. Booth has great ETA club programming and a tight community that I really appreciated when recruting (without a finance background). The school has a great network and resources already and both are growing. Entrepreneurship resources in general at Booth are definitely undersold.

I do wish that Booth had something like Kellogg's Zell program.

Overall outcomes from both schools are great. Living downtown sealed the deal for me. Happy to connect to chat more!

Booth would be the better option, to tap into a stronger network within finance. Those leads will be handy while raising capital for acquisitions.
