Notes:

International applicants, still debating whether I would go into Tech or Consulting post MBA. Tech was my initial career goal to be a Product Manager in a big tech, but not sure with one year experience of BA in a bank without CS background would really get me a job in big tech straight after MBA. so considering Consulting as a backup option

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1704 Scholarship money is close, probably not enough to swing the decision? Fuqua and Tuck would probably be slightly ahead for consulting, but again, it’s going to be pretty close. Any personal preferences? (1)

Likes Earned: 0 Thanks Alex! Would really prefer a warm weather, having lived in the U.K. for over 7 years, and tight community. So probably Fuqua would be better? in my situation? how about Tech? cause I was doing some research on LinkedIn and seems like Tuck has more people working in Google than Fuqua, is my perception right?

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1704 Maybe, i haven’t done that level of examination. But I’d think it’s close re tech. Tuck might be in the slightly higher tier, although that is very close. (1)

wellreadmister Likes Earned: 10 Duke is highly regarded in tech. The CEO of Apple (Tim Cook) went to Duke and so Apple recruits heavily from Fuqua. You cannot go wrong with either but Cornell and Duke are more well known in tech. (2)
