eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1857 Congrats on your acceptances to both Ross ($40k) and Darden ($40k). Both are top MBA programs with strong MBB consulting career placement. Thus, your decision will likely come down to your personal and geographic preferences. Another difference is that Darden uses the case study method for all of its classes. I encourage you to speak with current students to help you decide. Best of luck. (0)

Finance/Consulting), but some will say its splitting hairs. US News changes every year, you really think Chicago is better than Harvard and Stanford? (0)
