alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1693 Stern is the clear choice, with respect to your goals. Because IB is a high compensation career, that might mitigate some of the funding gap, post MBA. Stern is also a tier above Marshall. That said, I can understand hesitancy in making the choice. (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1917 Congrats on your acceptances to Marshall (full), UNC ($100k) and Stern. All three are solid MBA programs that can help you gain a IB job. As you noted, Stern is a great option if you want to do IB in NYC. On the other hand, the full scholarship from Marshall is tempting. I strongly suggest that you do your due diligence by contacting students at Marshall who are focused on IB careers in NYC to confirm that they are having success in their job search. Best of luck. (0)
