eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1917 Congrats on your acceptances to six top MBA programs. You mentioned that you are deciding among Darden, Stern and Tepper ($70k). Careerwise, Stern has the edge for IB while Darden has the edge for consulting. Given the large salaries in IB and consulting, you would be able to handle any loans. Do you have any personal preferences between these programs? To help you decide, I do encourage you to do your due diligence by visiting the programs, attending admit events and chatting with current students. (0)
