sincerely thinking of joining COX...any views?
Although I can't speak for your exact situation, Cox may be a great fit. Cox is very different from U Rochester and U Toronto. If you visited the campuses you probably noticed that SMU is smaller and more intimate whereas U Toronto is huge and U Rochester is considerably larger than SMU.
Also, SMU is the best school in Dallas and as such opens a lot of doors in Dallas. The other two schools are great especially if you want to live in the Great Lakes region post MBA. However, there is less opportunity in upstate NY, MI, Ontario, Ohio, and PA than there is in Texas.
However, the NY Fingerlakes are beautiful and Toronto is a great world city. Dallas is a great livable city but doesn't have the beauty of upstate NY nor the cosmopolitan feel of Toronto.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, but as someone from the Great Lakes Region who moved to Texas for work opportunity, I'd choose SMU especially with the scholarship you earned.
Decisions, decision!
