I am an international (Indian) student, and My background is in engineering.
I've been having a difficult time figuring out the best ways to compare these offers without too much bias.
I would really appreciate your opinions or advice, if any.
Pre MBA - Software/Product developer in the Automotive Industry.
Post MBA Goal - PM within Tech or Tech Consulting

Hi. Congrats on your admits!
Wild Darden does have a stronger brand overall and some interesting opportunities especially in finance, investment banking and consulting, the other schools are also holding their ground. For example, UNC would be a great choice if you were looking at consulting for example. McCombs will be a strong tech p.m. school sitting right in the middle of the booming Austin‘s tech job market.
I’m not sure that you would have better chances for that top tech p.m. roles and positions but I think overall, with the market as hot as it is this year, you would be able to find and recruit for a solid job in the tech space as long as you’re persistent. McCombs will make it a little bit easier to recruit since they have all the tech companies in the backyard though those are not usually headquarters except of course for Dell and a few others but all of those a sizable offices with pretty decent operations.
I like my comps but I don’t think you and see would be too far behind with the scholarship offering. If you were looking at consulting, UNC would be a stronger bet.
Anyway, I would encourage you to consider one of the schools for scholarships.

Congrats on all three admits!
Darden is a great school especially if you are focused on finance. Beautiful campus and in a great area though cost of living will also be the highest amongst the three followed by Austin and then chapel hill.
McCombs would be the best bet if you were interested in tech program manager roles but I would urge you to consider UNC due to their location. Lots of tech roles coming out of UNC specifically working at Amazon corporate HQ2 in Arlington and Apple building their east coast campus in Raleigh as alternatives for tech roles. UNC heavily recruits for consulting roles with a large portion towards the public sector due to their vicinity on the east coast whereas McCombs would be more tailored towards tech consulting roles for the west coast.
Having little to no debt after b-school is definitely an advantage especially if you are planning to settle down and purchase a house in the market nowadays…
