Nothing crazy, 25%. So this won't be the deciding factor, but it does reinforce how great I feel about Darden!

And thank you!

Any insights on whether the scholarship offers normally go out all together or there will be more notifications?

It would definitely be hard to turn down a full ride. But since that's not on the table, I'm primarily concerned with relative shot at MBB.

Scheduled my waitlist convo. I'm interested to hear what they have to say. Love feedback, will help me when I'm interviewing later this year for summer internships. Either way, I'm elated by my Duke, Dartmouth and Cornell acceptances.


Congrats, Where are you going

Booth gives you the best shot at mbb with 43% of consulting students being hired there. (Vs 37% at darden). So I would suggest booth. Less competition for me...

Hah. Where'd you get the 37% from? The best I've been able to do from Darden is to see that 14 went to McKinsey in 2012.

14 for M.13 for bcg according to Bloomberg business and I found 7 ppl at Bain from 2014 through linked in. 28% of the class does consulting. 34/(.28*320) = 37.7%.
