14 Difference Between Stanford And Harvard Mba

1. Applications (Class of 2017)
HBS
9,686
Stanford GSB:
7,899
2. Stanford is more difficult to get in: (7.1% vs. 11% acceptance rate)
3. Stanford alumni mostly work in finance and IT; whereas Harvard alumni are more spread out across sectors with finance having the biggest share.
4. HBS is looking for leaders. The school is looking for potential leaders and future CEOs, who have the ability to influence, motivate, inspire, and convince other people to affect change without being too authoritative or using traditional leadership methods.
5. Stanford GSB looks for students who possess leadership potential and whose principles are aligned with the school’s values. It prefers individuals who can engage rigorously in research-supported learning processes, interdisciplinary studies, and community service.
6. The campus of Stanford’s Graduate School of Business is small and compact: a complex of eight new, separate buildings created around three quadrangles opened in 2011 and a single residence hall.
7. Harvard Business School, on the other hand, is like a university onto itself with 35 separate buildings on 40 acres of property along the Charles River.
8. The atmosphere is more mellow, more informal, and less competitive at GSB than at HBS.
9. Stanford has a higher average GMAT score for enrolling students: (732 vs. 730)
10. HBS has larger classroom strengths (about 950) compared with GSB (about 400). 
11. GSB prefers candidates with some work/business background to relatively young and inexperienced applicants. On the other hand, HBS often takes in applicants with less experience but with excellent academic and other achievements. 
12. Both schools have the same average post-graduation salary: ($125,000 USD)
13. Stanford has a lower total program cost: ($119,100 USD vs. $122,450 USD)
14. GSB is more likely to inspire its students to become technology entrepreneurs, while HBS send their students to topnotch consulting companies or to Wall Street.

Uc Berkeley Vs Stanford Computer Science

1.  Berkeley has fewer financial resources to dedicate to undergrads, so you have less dedication to teaching, larger class sizes, and relatively fewer research opportunities.
2. Stanford grads are more "entrepreneurial" and are often thinking of their next career jump, and Cal grads are more "geeky" and interested in technology for technology's sake.
3. the overall fees, of the Berkeley,CA, is marginally low than Stanford.
4. At Stanford, it is easier to get a better GPA with not-as-great grades because they count an A+ as a 4.3 instead of a 4.0, as opposed to Berkeley, where an A and A+ both count the same.
5. Stanford is more selective in admitting their undergrads. 
6. UC Berkeley is a Significantly Larger School: (38,189 vs. 16,980 Total Students)
7. Stanford University Students Earn Considerably More Salary Post-Graduation: ($86,000 USD vs. $60,800 USD Median Salary)
8. Berkeley's charter as a state school means that it largely serves the California population, whereas Stanford has more national and international prominence.
9. The teaching staff : student ratio at Stanford is much better than at Berkeley, which enables closer feedback on code quality and style from an early stage. 
10. Because Berkeley is so much larger and has so many more students in general, the best CS undergraduates that you'll find are on par with people from private (and more prestigious) institutions like Stanford.
11. NETWORKING: for jobs and grad school, it's more likely for a Cal alum to run into a fellow Cal grad than for Stanford alums to find that same solidarity.
