Notes:

Leaning Wharton b/c best brand and seems to be the best cultural fit, but unsure if it's smart to pass up $ from CBS or location of Sloan (would only like to recruit for jobs in Boston post-MBA). Brand is a long term play as consulting outcomes likely the same between options. Will not be taking out loans regardless of scholarship.

Will the brand/network of the MBA have an impact on your longer term goals, post consulting? Each of these programs should provide you access to your short term goals.
