eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 2003 Congrats on your acceptances to Ross ($100k), Fuqua ($80k), Tuck and Kelley. You mentioned that you are choosing between Ross and Fuqua. Both are great MBA programs that would help you achieve your brand management career goals. For example, looking at CPG job placement in the Class of 2024 employment reports, Ross placed 21 (7.7%) and Fuqua placed 20 (7.2%). Meaning, I think that you decision really comes down to your personal and geographic preference between these programs. (0)
