Notes:

Help me decide!

Why McC in my POV: Better ranked, historically does well (compared to Foster), well-rounded outcomes across industries (in case I don't get tech McC might help achieve Consulting goals).

Why Foster in my POV: Good outcomes in Tech (and I want to do tech); Less competition in Seattle; Better employment % for internationals in 2024.

Notes:

Penn undergrad between Wharton and Kellogg (1/2$).

In mktg in NY but want to shift to consulting or PE (growth equity or portfolio ops). 1st: would switch to PE be possible at either school w/o IB? 2nd: would Wharton really increase chances that much to give up Kellogg $? Ideally want to be in NY but I know Kellogg has started sending more here.

Notes:

Really struggling with this decision after attending both admit days. “You can’t go wrong” seems to the main advice. I see merits to both schools and just can’t decide. I like the quantitative rigor, maybe slighhtlyyyy better consulting/entrepreneurship, and access to events/firms downtown of booth.

Notes:

Incredibly hard decision. Choose Booth because 1) how helpful & warm students/alumni have been, 2) personal cultural fit, 3) its veteran community, 4) prefer Chicago over Philly/New Haven, 5) strength in consulting recruitment, and 6) considerable scholarship. Thank you WireTaps & team for helping me get into 5/5 schools with $550k in scholarships!

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.
