Mike Moradian is facing the dilemma of his life (so far), and he needs your help. Yes, you.

Moradian, founder of successful start-ups CampusBuddy and CollegeBudget, was recently accepted into Harvard Business School, but is having trouble deciding whether to focus on his start-ups or attend Harvard. Normally, decisions like these would be no-brainers, especially with Harvard apart of the equation, but many applicants probably couldn’t boast 1.5 million users and four-fold revenue growth since last year.

To help him decide on his immediate future, Moradian asked his CollegeBudget users to offer their input and vote. So far, more than 20,000 people have cast their votes, and currently, Harvard is winning by a slight margin at 53 percent.

Campus Buddy is a social platform for accessing grade records and professor reviews; CollegeBudget, which launched last week, is a daily deals group buying site for students.

Vote on Mike’s future here.

    Let me get this straight… go to b-school to learn about what it takes to run a successful business or continue running one (or two!). That’s the question??

    If that’s really a decision this guy needs help making, I’m afraid Harvard has lowered their standards. ;-)

    He runs two startups and can’t make up his own mind? Seems like a stunt just to get his name out there even more.

    Going to harvard business school is a test to see how your startup will fare without you at the helm. Give hbs a shot for a yr (Actually 9 months). You can then decide if you still wanna remain or finish up the remaining year (9 months). Besides you get 3-4 months during winter & summer break to get hands-on with your startups.
