Notes:

I'm struggling to choose between MIT Sloan and NYU Stern. Stern has offered me full tuition funding and is well-regarded for investment banking. On the other hand, Sloan also has a strong IB presence with a smaller class size, which could offer a more intimate network. The funding at Stern is a major factor, making the decision even tougher.

Notes:

I am not sure which schools to choose.
looking at short term private equity and long term entrepreneurial. prefer traditional finance which tuck is strong at but haas location for startups is tempting. I do not want to go to NYC after mba, but ok with other places like West Coast or East Coast Chicago booth Philly.

Notes:

I want to stay on the West Coast post-MBA, and I can live with my parents to save on rent, which makes USC a strong option. However, I’m very debt averse and not targeting high-paying roles like investment banking or consulting. Instead, I’m more focused on pursuing FLDPs or Brand Marketing roles. Kelley is also tempting with the full ride. help!

Notes:

ORM international, choosing between McCombs & Tepper ($30K extra). Post-MBA Goals: 1st preference is Tech PM and 2nd preference is consulting.
McCombs culture and city is definitely better but Carnegie Mellon University is much better-known back home considering that I may want to return in 5-7 years.
