Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I just got accepted, with a full scholarship at each, to the full time MBA programs at Chicago Booth and UCLA Anderson. I have 'tunnel vision' and I want to be an equity analyst or portfolio manager as soon as I can. I am currently a Certified Financial Planner for a wealth management firm in Beverly Hills and also am a Series 65. I DEFINITELY want to stay in SoCal and am targeting Capital Group, PIMCO, Nuveen, and Dimensional Fund Advisors (all 4 have a strong SoCal presence) immediately after graduating from MBA school.
Of course, UCLA is a top program and very good in Finance (Larry Fink Center) and there should be tons of Bruins in SoCal for networking. However, Chicago Booth is an M7 and the top MBA program for Finance in the country (debatable with Wharton) and Booth has Eugene Fama (still} teaching at Booth ... Eugene Fama being a nobel prize winner and widely known as the "father of modern finance." I could take a class taught by him at Booth!
Which should I take for what I want to do and lcocation. I am just so unsure!

"I DEFINITELY want to stay in SoCal and am targeting Capital Group, PIMCO, Nuveen, and Dimensional Fund Advisors (all 4 have a strong SoCal presence) immediately after graduating from MBA school." => UCLA ofcourse! (assume you r based in Cal now, mabe housing, car is not a prob. Also think about the travel for recruitment)
In term of cost of attendance, make a comparison in term of health insurance, housing, etc, if the diff is 10%, I think you should go with UCLA. Chicago is also expensive.
I think the matter is just the brand name

Hi probaseballtoMBA ! First of all congratulations on both the admits with full scholarships, excellent job! Booth shall be a great choice for sure, as its an M7! and the future prospects are way too high at Booth compared to UCLA. This year Booth also has a better ranking than UCLA.
But looking at the situation, you shall connect with the alumni to get some more information on both the schools it might help you clear the confusion. Wishing you all the best as you embark on exciting future opportunities!
