Notes:

I've been waitlisted at Ross and Darden. Post MBA target career is IB and I'm really torn between trying to get off any of the wait list or choose between Emory and Vanderbilt. Not sure which one gives me the best chance for IB recruitment among the two. International student with 5 YOE in audit with 4 years at a big 4.

Very much undecided, still waiting to hear back from McCombs, Rice, and Anderson. If I don't get into any of those three then I'll definitely go with Duke, but I really couldn't possibly say where I'm leaning without seeing where I stand with the rest of the schools whose decisions I am still awaiting.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1851 Odd they’re not all showing. Darden sounds like a great option, if you can manage the full price. I’d look to see how their alumni network is on the west coast. I’d also look at Merage’s pipeline into consulting and see if that is a viable option. All your other options a very decent, but the pathway to the west coast might be more challenging? (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 2049 Congrats on your acceptances. It really depends on what is most important to you (MBB/location/$/personal fit) If your goal is to maximize your chances of MBB consulting, then Darden is likely your best option. However, if working on the west coast is your main criteria, then Merage with $60k would be a solid option. I encourage you to do due diligence by visiting campuses and chatting with current students who share your career interests. (0)

I'm still deciding as Cornell would be about 100k more expensive over 2 years. I have 5 YOE in tech consulting and am open to PM, consulting, and tech.
I'm worried if I picked GT it would lock me into being tech focused, while Cornell keeps my options open. I'd prefer to be in the northeast after graduation. Looking for advice and suggestions.

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 2049 Congratulations on your acceptance to both Johnson and Scheller. Given your desire to pursue career options in the Northeast, it sounds like Johnson is the best fit. Having said that, I recognize that Johnson is more expensive - so in your due diligence you will need to weigh these factors. For Scheller, you should talk with current students about their experience landing jobs in the Northeast in your desired fields. (0)

Duke means $30k more debt due to healthcare, but the US market offers $150k+ salaries for quick repayment. IESE is cheaper but fewer high-paying jobs to repay loan quick (all in Middle East and Asia).

I aim to pay in 3-4 years and return to LATAM. Any advice? Do I have chance for negotiating any offer?

Also, what would each program cost you in tuition? How much do the partial scholarships to IMD and Stern influence your decision? Finally, do you have a personal preference between these options?

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 2049 Congrats on your acceptances to Tepper ($65k), UNC, HEC Paris and ISB. Good luck as well as you await your Kellogg decision.

If you are seeking to work in the US post MBA, then Tepper, UNC Kenan Flagler and Kellogg would clearly provide you with great opportunities to do so.

[Question - you mentioned in the comment that you were admitted to UNC yet you did not list UNC among the schools you applied to. Did you get admitted to UNC Kenan Flagler? If so, did you receive any scholarship?]

Both Kenan Flagler and Tepper are great MBA programs. Do you have any personal preferences between these programs? Now, assume that you gain admission to Kellogg. What is your preference among these three schools?

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 2049 Thanks for your reply and congratulations on your full scholarship to UNC Kenan Flagler. Given your partial scholarship at Tepper and your full scholarship at UNC, how much more would it cost you to attend Tepper vs UNC Kenan Flagler? Relatedly, how much of a factor is tuition cost in your decision? For example, if Kellogg accepted you but did not offer you a scholarship, what is your preference between Kellogg vs Tepper (partial) and UNC (full) scholarship? (0)

indiannmbaa Likes Earned: 0 It will cost almost 100k more to attend tepper. Tuition is an important factor as i will be taking mostly debt as an international. (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 2049 Both Kenan Flagler and Tepper are great MBA programs and you can't go wrong with either option in terms of education and brand. Given the $100k difference in price, the Kenan Flagler option is quite compelling. For due diligence I do encourage you to try and attend admit events for both programs and chat with students who are pursuing similar career goals to you. This way you can be as informed as possible about the right fit for you. (0)
