Notes:

I am trying to decide between Fuqua & Kellogg. Both schools haven't offered any scholarships. Can I ask them again ? Also i am focused on banking, but given either school isn't exactly known for finance, I am unsure if there is clear choice here. I am also waitlisted at CBS so actively trying to convert that as well.

If you need to negotiate for scholarship, you may have more opportunity at Fuqua, only because Kellogg is in the higher tier. But it still may be challenging. (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1919 Congrats on your acceptances to both Kellogg and Fuqua. Both are strong MBA programs that can help you accelerate a finance career post MBA. It really comes down to personal fit and geographic preference at this point. I encourage you to chat with current students to help you decide. (0)
