If you got into Booth, then yeah just do Booth. When I visited buddies at CBS I too was turned off by everything about the school. Uris is such a mess that I thought I was at some inner city high school rather than a top business school. Watson library is small and jam packed because they let any Columbia student into the library. Aside from the awful facilities, there really was no sense of community since it's very much a commuter school. People just aren't that excited about CBS because they all wanted HSW. OCR is also fairly weak, and in finance it's losing out to not just HSW but also Booth.

In contrast, Booth has a very strong community and a cohesive culture. Because the school is so unique and rigorous, it draws a self-selective applicant pool whereas with CBS pretty much every NYC guy and his mom throws in an app. Harper Center is absolutely breathtaking; it is at once a triumph of modern architecture and a symbol of aesthetic beauty ensconced in the midst of Hyde Park. The renowned faculty are doing cutting edge research, and the breadth and depth of econ/finance courses are second to none. Booth students are extremely pumped up about being there; the enthusiasm was infectious. And I was significantly more impressed by the caliber of Booth students than CBS. The latter has a diluted student body due to Early Decision and J-Term. Moreover, CBS attracts a lot of rich dumb spoiled internationals from Latin America and Europe who don't bring much to the table except their parents' wallets. Booth in contrast assembles a cerebral, accomplished, eclectic class.

Between Tuck and CBS, I would still choose Tuck IF you don't mind the location. Having said that, Tuck's alumni network is fiercely loyal while CBS' is weak and much less willing to help. Tuck also has pretty decent PE network in the northeast.
