Hi there! I would GREATLY appreciate any and all thoughts / perspectives as I navigate this decision.
Additional details on my offers:
- Forte foundation fellow and >50% tuition covered at Anderson and Foster
- 100% tuition covered at Rice
- No scholarship from UT Austin
Some circumstances, goals, and other factors I have in mind:
- I'm really interested in pursuing a career in sustainability and social impact. I'm currently in consulting and do see myself reentering consulting (in the short-term) following the MBA
- While all programs offer great opportunities, I do feel UT Austin or UCLA would be the best fit for me personally (a little torn between these two)
- I'm from Texas and do like the idea of being close to my family and could see myself living in Austin post-graduation.
- I also love the idea of moving to a city like LA for the next two years. I went to UC Berkeley for my undergrad and love the weather etc. in California
Money is an important factor as I'm funding myself but I also want to prioritize other factors that will shape my MBA experience. Please help me understand the other factors and facts about these schools I should keep top of mind, and share any experiences or insights you may have about any of these programs. This is a tough decision so I appreciate any helpful input you might have.
THANK YOU!

Congratulations! Choices are hard (I'm currently struggling with Tepper vs. Kenan-Flagler).
Based on your intended career goals, desired location, and financial background- Rice seems like a hard choice to pass up if you wanted to remain in Texas.
If you don't see yourself remaining in Texas, or feel like you want additional freedom to re-locate, McCombs and Anderson are also great choices. Have you tried negotiating scholarships? McCombs might be inclined to give more $ given your acceptances, especially to their Texan rival.

Congrats on your admits and welcome to GMAT Club!
Neither of these schools are going to pave a path to consulting. West coast schools are weak for consulting by the way and place about half of what their counterparts on the East Coast do (not their fault, even Stanford does not do a great job, it is just who hires and what the options are - there are a lot more tech opportunities that often pay more). Both McCombs and Anderson have 20% of people going into consulting, 50 people which is not terrible either but not as good as 40% in some of the schools like Tuck, Yale, Kellogg, and others.
As to your track and your focus - sustainability, you will be recruiting off campus for that so the school probably does not matter as much though I can see being a part of Jones which is Oil and Gas heavy and with that industry trying to pivot to sustainability, you can find overlapping opportunities.
I would also consider where you want to be in the long term. It is good to have your network nearby and to be involved with your MBA program rather than separate and go separate ways. You can be making a difference by being involved with students and participate in recruiting events, etc - it is really rewarding. I know a number of alums who are paying back and helping their programs this way rather than donating to the endowment and supporting their "MBA Family"....
