Notes:

Waiting on Kellogg's results. If I get an offer without financial aid, should I choose it above Tuck? I'm assuming between Tuck Vs Darden, Tuck is the best choice. But trying to understand the Kellogg Vs Tuck comparison. Of course Kellogg is an M7 but Tuck is an Ivy League. Given my post MBA goal of consulting, not sure which is better?

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1900 Congrats on your acceptances to Tuck ($40k) and Darden (and your Kellogg waitlist). I actually think that Tuck with a $40k scholarship is a compelling offer since Tuck has a great track record with both top consulting firms and IB firms. The main difference is that Tuck graduates are more likely to accept jobs in the Northeast (NY/Boston) while Kellogg grads are more likely to accept jobs around Chicago and the west coast. Meaning, if you have any geographic preference, that might factor into your consideration. (0)
