Incredibly hard decision.

Entering Year: 2025

Post MBA Career: Consulting, Technology Companies: Bain, BCG, McKinsey, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft

GMAT: 735

GPA: 3.8

Location: Latam

Notes:

Choosing between Wharton and Booth was challenging, but I ultimately chose Booth because of its cultural fit, location, and curriculum structure. While Wharton has a slight edge in global prestige, for my goals in Latin America the brand is the same. Reject from GSB (w/o interview - my top choice), Sloan (w/interview) and from HBS (w/interview).
