Notes:

Torn between Haas and Fuqua. Haas was my top choice throughout the process, given that I hope to end up in Seattle or the Bay Area after my MBA but fell in love with Fuqua's culture. Interested in social impact / non-profit, but likely would go into consulting for a few years on the west coast after my MBA. No luck negotiating scholarship with Haas

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1902 Congrats on your acceptances, including $150k scholarships to both Fuqua and Foster. I must say that the $150k scholarship to Fuqua looks very attractive. Fuqua is a great school that can help you attain your career goals. In addition, you like the Fuqua culture. Keep in mind that $150k can buy you a lot of plane tickets to the West Coast for recruiting purposes. (1)
