Any thoughts on Olin (full ride) vs. Cornell (partial, on the lower end %) vs. Ross (waitlist).
Does anyone know if there is any chance of getting scholarship at Ross if admitted off the waitlist?
Congrats on your admit!
Olin has been generous to GMAT Club members this year.
If you are a US Applicant, I would do more soul searching and employer analysis. For international applicants, I would pick the safety of the scholarship.
US. Res ranks these as #16 and #21. That’s 5 spots apart and a big scholarship is too big to ignore in this case. At the same time, schools are pretty different, class-size, employer recruiting, Ivy League Cornell - those add up and something you can resolve at admit weekend or by talking to current students.
As to scholarship with waitlist. That’s depends. It is unlikely to happen for a US Applicant. International applicants who are unlikely to have funds (and thus would choose not to attend if admitted) have been known to receive scholarships after a waitlist.
Posted from my mobile deviceThank you! I am international, from a developing country, which is why the scholarship weighs so heavily. I'm kind of leaning towards Olin as I had a great experience when I visited, but sometimes I have doubts as Cornell is an Ivy with a name that many people know and respect. Probably not worth the 100+K
In terms of employment... I don't see a really significant difference and I heard from current students that only a handful of people go to MBB from each school.
