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.
