I am not sure which schools to choose.
looking at short term private equity and long term entrepreneurial. prefer traditional finance which tuck is strong at but haas location for startups is tempting. I do not want to go to NYC after mba, but ok with other places like West Coast or East Coast Chicago booth Philly.

Notes:

Tuck was #1 on the 3 lists I made between 2019 and 2024 because I was drawn to its general management focus. I largely picked schools that would (1) maximize my entry into a form of applied general management, like brand management/LDP/consulting, for a retail-focused company on my path to becoming a GM, and (2) allow me to land a non-tech role in San Francisco as someone with a tech sales background.
