Notes:

I'm looking to minimize my loan amount.
I have a scholarship from Kelley but none from Johnson. I can ask Kelley for more scholarship leveraging Johnson but on the other hand, Johnson is a better fit for my goals, also no doubt a bigger brand too.
I also got waitlisted at Fuqua so looking for tips on scholarship negotiations and waitlist convert

GMAT: 655
Notes:

My goal is to start my own business, though I’m still defining what. I want an MBA with strong entrepreneurship program and hands-on skills. As a Plan B, I’d like to pivot to IB/PE or VC, where I lack prior experience. As an international student, brand matters and living in NYC is a preference. I’m really in doubt on what to choose. Thoughts?

Notes:

Undecided at the moment. There are things I really like about Berkeley, and things I love about Yale. Waiting to see how much (if any) Yale offers me. The main consideration I'm having is whether Yale's network would be a disadvantage on the West Coast.

Had a lot of reaches but got my top choice (Kellogg MBAi) R1, but the offer from Tepper is attractive since I’m cost-conscious. Should I go to Kellogg even without the money?
