Notes:

Help me decide!

Why McC in my POV: Better ranked, historically does well (compared to Foster), well-rounded outcomes across industries (in case I don't get tech McC might help achieve Consulting goals).

Why Foster in my POV: Good outcomes in Tech (and I want to do tech); Less competition in Seattle; Better employment % for internationals in 2024.

Notes:

Penn undergrad between Wharton and Kellogg (1/2$).

In mktg in NY but want to shift to consulting or PE (growth equity or portfolio ops). 1st: would switch to PE be possible at either school w/o IB? 2nd: would Wharton really increase chances that much to give up Kellogg $? Ideally want to be in NY but I know Kellogg has started sending more here.

Notes:

Really struggling with this decision after attending both admit days. “You can’t go wrong” seems to the main advice. I see merits to both schools and just can’t decide. I like the quantitative rigor, maybe slighhtlyyyy better consulting/entrepreneurship, and access to events/firms downtown of booth.

Incredibly hard decision. Choose Booth because 1) how helpful & warm students/alumni have been, 2) personal cultural fit, 3) its veteran community, 4) prefer Chicago over Philly/New Haven, 5) strength in consulting recruitment, and 6) considerable scholarship. Thank you WireTaps & team for helping me get into 5/5 schools with $550k in scholarships!

Notes:

I'm struggling to choose between MIT Sloan and NYU Stern. Stern has offered me full tuition funding and is well-regarded for investment banking. On the other hand, Sloan also has a strong IB presence with a smaller class size, which could offer a more intimate network. The funding at Stern is a major factor, making the decision even tougher.
