an3332 Likes Earned: 0 Appreciate it. I actually have full rides to both UCLA and Georgetown. I'm trying to weigh my geographic preference versus exposure to positions at Defense Tech firms. UCLA actively recruits from top firms that I'm targeting (and is a slightly more prestigious/alluring program), but would be primarily West Coast based. I feel as if I'm rolling the dice a bit more with Georgetown, but may result in both of my needs being met. Would love perspective. (edited) (edited) (0)

Accounting background. Goal post-mba is healthcare NYC IB. I have received full tuition $$$ for all schools. I narrowed it down to two schools, Michigan Ross and NYU. I am drawn to Ross because of its campus, college town, balanced opportunities and lower COL than NYC. NYU would be very costly for me and my wife without a job. Thoughts?

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 2076 Congrats on your acceptances and full scholarships to Stern, Ross and Johnson. Well done. You mentioned that you are deciding between Ross and Stern. Both are great MBA programs that would provide you with opportunities to work in NYC post MBA. Given your goal of doing health care IB in NYC, Stern would give you more opportunities to network for your job. So you face a tradeoff between campus feel/lower COL at Ross vs more access to NYC career opportunities at Stern. If you decide to attend Ross, be sure to allocate time and budget to make trips to NYC to network, using the COL savings as part of your travel budget. (0)

anon10646 Likes Earned: 885 Stern is a better IB program. If there were scholarship difference, I could make a better argument for Ross. Ann Arbor is a great college town, Michigan provides a collegiate setting which I think provides a better experience when you're in a group of ~350 strangers who you have to get familiar with quickly, Michigan is a great healthcare school. However, I think grad school and especially an MBA degree is a business decision. You're there ~20 months, ~3 months you're away at an internship and at least 3 months you'll be jammed with recruiting. If you're going to go IB, you're not going to live near Ann Arbor for post-MBA work, so you'll be moving out by the time you even settle. Stern you're in a city you're very likely to be in for work full-time and despite a HCOL, if you place in IB, you can clear student loans very quickly. At Ross you can still get good IB placements, but the stats display it's a smaller pipeline with less representation across the street (at least MBA-level. Plenty of UMich UGs). Perhaps you're not shooting for Tier1 banks and you want more of a lifestyle bank, then you can get that from Ross. Ann Arbor will have LCOL, but when housing is cheaper you can be tempted to get a bigger place or a complex with more amenities because you can, so costs can creep, while NYC you may be more budget disciplined by necessity. Also, HC IB is primarily BOS / NYC / SF, so if you're at Ross you'll be doing double rent for at least 10-12 weeks during your internship in a HCOL which will have a premium for the short-term length, either dorms or club up with other Ross people doing internships for the summer in an apartment share. If you're not 100% HC IB and maybe want to do a Eli Lilly or Stryker corp type role, then Ross would begin to come more into play. (1)
