CBS/Booth vs. HBS/GSB
Ignore my title, I am currently RA a large/mid-size boutique AM (D&C/GMO/MFS/RCG/Harris Associates) planning to apply to MBA. I get the HBS/GSB tend to be the standard, but across the LO industry I see a lot of Booth and CBS MBA, which seem to have great programs dedicated to value investing. Some people at my shop have turned down HBS/GSB to go to Booth/CBS because of this (albiet also larger scholarship amount).
Is CBS and Booth really better than GSB/HBS for a person that wants a career in LO AM? Given that my goal would be to return to the industry, would it make sense to pick whichever based on the amount of scholarship received?

While it might be useful to you, I don't think anyone your want to impress really knows or cares what they teach in classes at an MBA program. The fancier names and networks may open some doors for you. That said I have not met too many ultra fancy MBAs in AM. Some for sure. But I think the benefits of that credential may not go as far in AM as they might in some other areas.
No CBS/Booth are not better than GSB/HBS for LOs. If people took the former it is because of the $$$. Source: my friends and I went through AM/HF recruiting at all the top 5 MBAs for public markets
How much worse are they? Currently at MF PE and was planning to apply to just H/S/W, is it worth the effort to do applications for CBS/Booth as well?
