Notes:

Immensely grateful. Pivoting into Social Equity/Impact Real Estate but am also curious about VC because it powers our environment and tech companies like AirBnB working on the strategy side of the company to influence future projects.

I don't think I can really go wrong with Ross/Darden/Kellogg/UT but interested to hear other opinions!

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1857 Congrats on your acceptances and scholarships to six top MBA programs. Well done! All are great programs that can help you achieve your career goals. Given that you have the luxury of choice, you should decide what is most important to you. 1) Do you have a geographic preference in where you want to work post MBA? 2) How important is the scholarship money vs ranking? For example, Kellogg is the highest ranked program on your list but is offering you the smallest scholarship. 3) Career placement: Kellogg would likely give you the most options in venture,/tech and entrepreneurship. In summary, you need to decide if Kellogg is worth the $100k+ difference in cost to attend compared to say Darden and Ross. (0)

Looking at the newest rankings they seem almost equal and I've done my fair share of research to know the travel opportunities are fairly equal and the case method is a differentiator at Darden while Ross wins in a game of alumni network.
