Haven't seen many people posting about going to the "worst" school they got into but scholarship was a huge deciding factor for me. I also live in southern california and there are other significant financial benefits for me to stay local for school.

Waitlisted at NYU, initially waitlisted at USC but received a full tuition scholarship once I got admitted. Since I'm aiming for entertainment and need the best network possible, the scholarship made it an easy choice. Good luck all!

Admitted: Indiana / Kelley , USC / Marshall

Applied: USC / Marshall, Indiana / Kelley

Entering Year: 2025

GPA: 3.81

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!

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1830 If you want to be on the west coast, then that leans more heavily to Marshall. I’d really scrutinise Kelley’s alumni and see how active their alumni presence is on the west coast. See how realistic your post MBA goals are. (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1991 Congrats on your acceptances to both Marshall and Kelley. Yes, given your desire to work on the West Coast, then Marshall sounds like the right choice given the deep USC alum network in California. (0)
