Notes:

I am an entrepreneur, have a consumer background, and I plan to use an MBA to explore other industries. Since I am very interested in VC, I believe Booth has an edge, but I am debating between Booth (sticker) and Stern (full ride). In this economy while current students are having difficulty securing internships, should I pay for the Booth sticker?

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1860 Congrats on your acceptances to Booth and CBS and your full scholarship to Stern. Very well done. All three are great MBA programs. The full ride from Stern is quite tempting, particularly if you are considering a post MBA career in the NYC area. To help you decide, I encourage you to do your due diligence by visiting the campuses and chatting with current students. (0)
