Notes:

Undecided - WL at Duke. Got off Darden waitlist with $$. Great options. Certain on banking—not consulting.

I've put down a deposit at Ross and Cornell's first - will try to get their $$ higher after Darden came through.

Prefer Duke area longer term. Cornell crushes NY IB but can't I get same outcome from the others?

anon10646 Likes Earned: 857 No. I might argue Fuqua or Darden has marginally better placement than Ross, but really splitting hairs and might be explained by candidate differences. The same candidate at each program will place similarly. Johnson will place nearly entirely in NYC however, while the others may place some into places like Chicago or Charlotte. (2)
