Notes:

I loved Fuqua when I visited and felt like the school really spoke to me -- can't really put my finger on exactly why. I always thought Kellogg would be a long-shot, so I never imagined being in this position of deciding between the two. While Fuqua has given me more money, I'm torn by Kellogg's higher ranking.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1747 This is a classic dilemma. Higher tier (more access and opportunities, stronger median class profile/alumni network) versus more scholarship. Both programs will provide you access to your post MBA goals, but consider if you would regret turning down Kellogg? (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1943 Congrats on your acceptances to both Fuqua ($100k) and Kellogg ($50k). Both are great MBA programs with solid Consulting placement. Given the scholarship difference and your affinity for Fuqua, I suspect that Fuqua is the best all-around option for you. I suggest that you visit both programs and talk with current students to help you decide. (0)
