eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1919 Congrats on your acceptances and scholarships to both Booth ($130k) and Wharton ($100k). While both are great options, Wharton is a particularly strong option given your target VC/PE career goals. I do encourage you to do your due diligence by chatting with current students. (0)

anon10281 Likes Earned: 2 Thank you so much @alexbr4 and @eliot! I was fortunate to receive a Kellogg acceptance today with $150K scholarship as well, and I'm hopeful for some positive news from Sloan tomorrow. It's going to be a tough choice. As Eliot mentioned, I intend to do some thorough due diligence on career outcomes and university connections at target firms. But I'm also interested in non-standard recruiting with startups. I'm confident any of these schools could get me to where I want to go, so I'm largely going to rely on culture fit and discussions with students and alumni. (1)
