eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1944 Congrats on your acceptances to McDonough ($40k), Simon ($57k) and Marshall ($70k). Marshall would offer you great access to the tech industry on the US west coast. In addition, they are giving you the biggest scholarship. While you could potentially use the Marshall scholarship to increase your scholarship from the other two schools to $70k, it would be hard to increase your scholarship beyond $70k. My sense is that Marshall is the leading option for you. (1)
