Notes:

My post-MBA goal is to work in MBB consulting and potentially transition to venture capital later on. I am from Boston, and I definitely want to live in Boston post-MBA. I know how strong Tuck is for consulting, especially on the East Coast, but I can't help but be drawn to Kellogg as it is an M7.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1693 Super options, overall. Well done. Even for you goals for MBB, you can make strong arguments for either choice. Fit might be the deciding factor, perhaps. I’d go to the admit weekends, if possible, before making a final decision. (1)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1917 Congrats on your acceptances to Yale SOM ($80k), Kellogg ($40k), and Tuck ($110k). Well done. All three programs have a strong track record of MBB consulting job placement. Tuck with a $110k scholarship sounds like a compelling option given your desire to work in consulting post MBA in Boston. Do you have any personal preferences between these programs in terms of school culture and location? Yes, visiting the admit weekends is a great way to help you gather information. (1)

anon60097 Likes Earned: 2 Thanks for your responses! I am attending the visit weekends because I haven’t seen either school yet. I definitely don’t mind being in Hanover or Evanston for a couple years for my MBA. Regarding culture, I would like to learn more about the differences. I really enjoyed the interviews I had at both institutions. (1)
