Assume I can negotiate scholarships to match. Choosing between Tuck and Ross for Tech + NYC goals: Tuck places 66% in the Northeast but only 10% in Tech. Ross sends 15% into Tech but just 25% to the Northeast. Tradeoff is clear—Tuck is better for NYC, Ross stronger for Tech.

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1935 Congrats on your acceptances and scholarships to Ross, Johnson and Tuck. They are all great MBA programs. I agree that Ross with a $100k scholarship is quite compelling given its tech focus and tech job placement. In addition, as you noted, Ross sends 25% to the Northeast so there is a well-worn path for Ross graduates to land jobs in NYC. I encourage you to visit campus and chat with current students to help you make your decision. Do you have any personal preferences between these programs? Good luck. (0)

Notes:

Looking for a pivot from 7+ years in the auto industry to management / strategy consulting. I'm torn between choosing schools and preference is Midwest (Chicago) or PNW (Seattle) post MBA, although location is not a deal-breaker. I'm weighing scholarship offers against the strong reputation of Darden. Any thoughts / advice is very much appreciated

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1734 Darden is in the tier above, and it’s case method of teaching makes it a really good school for consulting. Tepper is likely close to the top of the next tier, and the 90k may well make Tepper compelling, up against Darden. Goizueta’s offer is great, but might not be as attractive regarding your geographic goals, unlike Kelley, which is in the next tier down.

Thus, I’d think it’s between Darden and Tepper, overall? Not an easy call.

(0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1935 Congrats on your acceptances and scholarship offers. As Alex mentioned, Darden has a great track record with MBB consulting placement so Darden would be a great fit if you want to do strategy consulting. Of course, given your auto sector experience, I suspect that consulting firms might want to staff you on strategy consulting projects for the auto industry. Meaning, you would likely be competitive for strategy consulting jobs focused on the auto industry from Tepper or Kelley as well. I encourage you to talk with Tepper and Kelley students who are pursuing a consulting career post MBA. This would help you get a sense about your ability to land a MBB job from these two schools.

I got rejected by MSU and waitlisted by Rice. So Vanderbilt is my option left.
It, however, came with 80% scholarship and I couldnt have asked for a better opportunity. Super grateful for this privilege as it has one of the best outcomes in healthcare industry across the US.
Looking forward to a memorable experience!

admitted to Booth EMBA and Cambridge MBA.7+ years in marketing & branding in Tokyo, aiming to transfer to tech/consulting in U.S. (not considering UK jobs).Booth EMBA has a U.S. edge but few recruiting opportunities.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1734 Curious why you chose these two programs to apply? I assume you’re currently working in Tokyo. Will you be moving to the US if you attend Booth’s EMBA program?

I’d talk to Cambridge’s career placement and see if they are sending folks to the US (who are not returning to the US). I’d also see how active their alumni are that are based in the States?

(0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1935 If you are seeking to transition to a US based job in tech or consulting, then Booth EMBA would likely have the edge in US career placement. This is because Booth most likely has a deeper base of alums working in US based tech and consulting firms. A broader question for you - given your desire to work in the US, have you considered applying to additional US based MBA programs? (0)

anon46766 Likes Earned: 0 Thank you for your sharing! My primary goal is career transition. Initially, I applied for Booth’s MBA program but was not admitted; instead, I was admitted to the EMBA program, which was not my original intention. Although Round 3 for U.S. MBA programs is still open, as an international applicant, my chances of admission are quite low. As a result, my choice is likely limited to these two programs. While Booth EMBA has a geographic advantage, it is not as employment-oriented as a traditional MBA. That’s why I am exploring the likelihood of securing job opportunities in the U.S. through Cambridge. (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1935 Thanks for your reply. If you want to work in the US, I encourage you to consider applying to more US based MBA programs in Round 3. You still have time to submit and you might get a response quickly. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1734 Are you returning to your family business? Marshall is in the higher tier, and would likely provide more access overall. Do you have any geographic preferences, post MBA? (1)

sagacious25 Likes Earned: 4 No ,I am looking to work in operations in a corporate preferably around arizona or california . (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1935 Congrats on your acceptances to both Carey and Marshall. Both are solid MBA programs that can help you transition to a corporate operations role. Do you have a preference between working in Arizona or Southern California? If you want to work in Southern California, then Marshall would have an edge. ASU Carey will have an edge if you want to work in Arizona. As part of your due diligence, I encourage you to speak with current students at both programs who are seeking out corporate operations roles. (1)

sagacious25 Likes Earned: 4 Yes ,i wouldn't mind working in Arizona .my two concerns are that will doing an mba from wp Carey affect my growth in long term compared to USC for ex-in promotion,better opportunities etc .? And will doing it from wp Carey make it easy to pivot into corporate operations role ? (2)
