Notes:

Can't decide. 100% tuition at Anderson vs. 25% tuition at Ross. Shooting for MBB, and given I already live in LA, would like to have the option to recruit elsewhere e.g., nyc. At Anderson, I would have freedom to take more risks / explore more options given the scholarship, but I truly believe that I would Excel personally/professionally at Ross.

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1858 Congrats on your offers. A lot depends on whether or not you want to continue working in LA post MBA. If you want to work in LA, then the full ride to Anderson makes a lot of sense. If you goal is to work in consulting in Chicago or NYC, then Ross would likely have the edge. Based on your answer above, it sounds like you would prefer to go to Ross, so feel free to do so. While it will cost you a bit more, you will be able to handle the student loans with your post MBA career. (2)

anon10646 Likes Earned: 774 Cannot comment on more recent recruiting efforts, but it seemed as though a lot of recruiting, at least the early steps/events, have moved to more virtual. I was able to network and interview for finance roles in multiple offices locations nationwide as I didn't have a specific location requirement. Consulting was not my recruitment area, but my understanding is it's a bit more firmwide process and then you often rank office preferences, so you're not limited to LA/SF from Anderson or Chicago/Detroit/NYC etc from Ross even if you're networking heavily with those offices.
