Notes:

Choosing between Wharton and Booth was challenging, but I ultimately chose Booth because of its cultural fit, location, and curriculum structure. While Wharton has a slight edge in global prestige, for my goals in Latin America the brand is the same. Reject from GSB (w/o interview - my top choice), Sloan (w/interview) and from HBS (w/interview).
