A low GMAT score does not automatically end your MBA admission chances. Every year, top business schools admit candidates whose GMAT scores fall below the class average — not because the score doesn’t matter, but because the rest of the application....

Hi
I am recently admitted to Cornell MBA program whereas I am waitlisted for Yale and Michigan after interview and Duke without interview. As a management consulting prospect, I am a little confused about what to do as I have to deposit the initial payment before January 15, 2015. The consulting outlook of Duke and Ross is better than that of Yale or Cornell but the latter two are recognized for their Ivy league brands globally besides being great business school. However, the consulting recruitment, especially that of Cornell, isn’t that great as there are few hires from MBB.
I need advice on what line of action should I take. Should I write to Yale to consider my application and give my decision earlier so that I can simply pay their deposit and get enrolled there as I would prefer Yale over Cornell any day. (Any take on this will be highly appreciated)
OR
Should I wait to hear from other schools and pay for the deposit as per the deadline. The problem with this approach is that Ross considers international waitlisted candidates by June and that is way too late for me to wrap up everything here and apply for Visa and loan etc. Also no timeline is given for Yale and I am not even interviewed at Duke and that means simply pushing my application to round 2 at earliest.
Please suggest a workable solution.

Hi,
I have got an admit from Fisher school of business(50% scholarship) and University of Irvine Merage business school($40k for 2 years).
I am also waiting on two other schools(Uni of Maryland-Robert Smith Business School and Scheller Business School-Georgia Tech).
I am a bit confused now itself and if I get an offer from these two also, I will be in a spot of bother to choose among them.
I know each B school has its own merits and de-merits but can you help me come to a conclusion and a comparision between these schools.

Hi Kesanova20,
I apologize for the delayed response as we were slightly bombarded the past few months and things are now settling down a bit.
Thank you for your patience and for sharing your acceptance details as I enjoyed reading it similar to when I worked with candidates in the admissions office at a top tier.
First and foremost - I would like to first congratulate you on your ability to be accepted by Cornell and considered as a waitlisted candidate at other excellent academic institutions. To be accepted to any business school is not an easy task nor can it be underestimated by any means. If you have not made a decision yet, my answer is to attend Cornell if you have to make the decision now.
I say this because there are several factors that you should consider since you are spending the next 2 years as part of the business school and will become a life-long member of the community. You are absolutely correct in the brand of Yale and Cornell. Although Fuqua and Ross are also strong programs, you are buying a strong overall institution brand so you must weigh the options closely. I recommended Cornell since it will give you a strong overall brand as part of your portfolio. Remember, you will be making a new (brand) investment to further enhance your academic and professional identity. A brand that will attach itself to your name and become a part of your professional reputation in future endeavors. The school will also give you an opportunity to increase your network across a larger diverse pool of students, alums, faculty members and recruiters.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or need further guidance. We have worked with many candidates who approached us after they were waitlisted, so do not hesitate to let us know.
I hope this helps you and congratulations once again from the entire MAC Team!
Best wishes,
Sue and the MAC Team
