Anon Likes Earned: 0 I'd say go with fit in this case. You'll probably enjoy the 2 years more and perform better (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Definitely go with fit. Cornell is on an upward swing with their tech campus. Last year they were ranked almost identically and Ross doesn't have more opportunities than Johnson (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Agree with the fit comment. Both great schools for Consulting, but you're the one who has to spend 2 years there. (0)

Anonymoose Likes Earned: 0 Ross definitely is better for consulting. However, the atmosphere is definitely more competitive. You will probably stand out more at Johnson. They are close enough in rankings where you should go with fit above all else. (0)

Cornell Likes Earned: 0 I went to Cornell undergrad. Honestly, the Johnson students had a blast. They also are pretty tied into the larger community and take wine classes, do PE classes like Scuba Diving, and have just a generally great time. So if that's what youre into - go with it. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 If there is no money on the table, Ross is a clear winner for consulting. Do a linked in search and compare the stats. In what ranking has Cornell been 'ranked almost identically'? Ross has always been a solid 5-6 spots ahead of Cornell (and arguably a slight tier higher) (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Take Ross, no question asked. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 I LIKE PUBLIC IVY (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 the only people i hear say "public ivy" are those who got rejected from ivy schools but want to brag to their friends & family (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 I agree with less competition at Cornell though, and given you feel you have a better fit at Cornell, the outcome should favor your goals (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 'Ivy' is a joke when it comes to MBA schools. Cornell may be 'ivy' but it's not ranked better (or even close to) than ross (0)

OP Likes Earned: 0 Thank you guys! I'll go with fit (0)
