Notes:

No scholarship at Fuqua. Consulting outcomes between Tepper and Johnson in my situation seemed like a wash. Not interested in banking. Prefer to live in a city instead of rural. Very excited for Pittsburgh!

GRE: 336
GPA: 3.22
Notes:

With 6 YOE, multiple promotions, and awards, I targeted an M7 despite a low GPA (3.22/5). I hoped my GRE and overall application would offset my GPA, but they didn’t.I'm grateful for the offers but, not thrilled. Will I be ridiculous to give up this offers to reapply to M7 in Sep. or should I be thinking about this differently?

Notes:

Really choosing between LBS and Yale. I want to pivot in some fashion in the climate space (pro for Yale), and I want to have a dynamic US / Europe career. I have been living in the US for the past decade and have citizenship in both. Would have to build up a network in EU which I don't have. Could study abroad at both these schools. Advice?

Notes:

I have 6 years of experience in banking, looking to pivot into consulting (MBB). I appreciate both the Booth School's M7 status and Cornell Johnson's Ivy League prestige and intimate class size. However, I am also considering the networking opportunities and convenience of Chicago. With my decision deadline tomorrow, I would appreciate your advice.

Consortium Applicant, I had to wait until now to get all the decisions. While I am so grateful for even being admitted, financial support was the most important factor and I only received $ from Cornell. I wanted to be in a small town so I am excited for this next chapter!!
