Dreaming of a successful post-MBA career? Explore the 2026 career pathways in consulting, tech, finance, and dive into the exciting opportunities and the potential ROI these industries offer, helping you make informed decisions and more.
Hey All,
I have been fortunate enough to have received admits from Tuck and Ross with the latter offering a full tuition waiver as Dean's Fellow which also includes some exclusive programming/networking opportunities. Post my MBA, I want to pursue a career in either Product Management or Consulting (not yet decided). I come from a background in Growth and Digital Marketing with some recent experience in Product Operations at a technology company.
Tuck seems to have a better brand (it being the oldest business school and a part of Dartmouth College) and slightly better ranking. It also has a tightly knit community owing to the small class size and its remote location. But Ross has an extra focus on action based learning (MAP) which I like and also slightly better placement percentages in Tech. Also, it is not easy for me to ignore the monetary aspect involved though many folks admitted into B-Schools say it doesn't matter once you graduate.
Any help or perspective here would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am a fan of Tuck and if they had put money towards you, I’d say go with Tuck. However, Ross is no slouch and their network is HUGE. I’d take the money in this situation and go to Ross. Tuck is stronger in consulting at MBB though so I’d not blame you for going with Tuck. Congrats on the admits!

I feel it’s going to be pretty challenging to justify Tuck at full price with a full ride at Ross.
I do think that Tuck offers something That no other business school provides including Ross. The small program that is isolated and bonds people together is an awesome experience. However, I have heard of people being equally underwhelmed by either program and in many cases it seems the experience and satisfaction and the value that people think they get out of business school is heavily dependent on their expectations. Someone who sets their expectations hi, will inevitably be disappointed. Very often people going to business school believe that everyone else will be super amazing and impressive and super friendly to them, welcoming them in their open arms and cuddling them. Obviously that’s not the case and pretty much everyone going to business school is usually very very accomplished and very very impressive but sometimes it does not come off that way when you meet them. This is one of the reasons that most reviews of business schools that we have a GMAT Club complain about that fact. They complain that they’re not super happy with their classmates. … anyway this is a very long way to say that it’ll be hard to justify ignoring Ross. At the same time, $150,000 is about what you would expect your starter house to appreciate by in one year in Seattle or Bay Area. 🥴 so I am not so sure that if you have strong feelings for Tuck, you should completely bury them and sell your soul.

It was always going to be loans or scholarships. I will definitely be writing to Tuck if only to get a response.
