eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1918 Congrats on your acceptances to Ross ($40k), Yale SOM and IESE. Yes, would you be willing to share the key variables that are impacting your decision? For example, what are your career goals? Do you have an geographic preference? For example, if you want to work in Europe then IESE would be a nice option. If you want to work in the US, do you want stay in the Northeast? Also, do you have any personal preferences among these programs? (0)

fruit23 Likes Earned: 4 Thank you! My post MBA target career is energy/sustainability. I am considering renewable energy or a rotational development program. My geographic preferences for both during and post MBA are warmer areas with outdoor activities, so my personal preferences were the programs I was not accepted to and I will opt to remain on the Fuqua waitlist.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1695 Good luck with the Fuqua waitlist. Might be worth adding a couple of programs to a Round 2 strategy, too, in this case? (0)

fruit23 Likes Earned: 4 I'm feeling as though I should put aside my geographic preferences for programs of this caliber and I'm not sure that applying to more in R2 is feasible for me. What do you suggest between Yale and Michigan? I will be attending the welcome events to try and decide for myself in the event the Fuqua waitlist doesn't work out. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1695 Honestly, I think you should, and heavily consider Yale in this case. Both Ross and Yale are compelling. (0)
