Booth or Tuck with 20k/yr? Post MBA I'm aiming for MBB consulting, and maybe eventual work abroad in Asia x years down the road. I really liked both communities when I visited, and am really torn.

Similarities:
- Both are really good for consulting placements, I'm not sure there's a strong difference between the two.
- Awful cold winter at both

Pro Booth:
- More name recognition, especially abroad (?) I'm not sure about this, and whether it's because the Tuck alum base is smaller abroad or is actually the case.
- More options in case I decide not to go the consulting route, esp as the school has a strong shift to entrepreneurship, social impact in addition to finance
- Academics and faculty are amazing; flexible curriculum
- More students, so if I don't click with all my classmates at Tuck, I can create my own circle
- In a city. I don't mind spending two years away from a city, actually quite sick of city life at NYC - but who knows if it'll hold a year down the road

Pro Tuck:
- Stronger (arguably) community
- Extremely loyal alum base
- I love the outdoors, although not sure I would have the opp to really enjoy between classes/networking
- Tuck has more international classroom experience. Booth only has treks/random walk as opportunities to travel abroad.
- I would get to know everyone, something that's kind of rare for me since I've been sort of just moving around my whole life
- 40k post tax, while not a lot in light of the 200k MBA price tag, is nevertheless nontrivial

unless you fell in love with tuck and can't imagine going anywhere else (which it doesn't sound is the case), I'd go to Booth for the reasons you mentioned.
