Hi All,

Looking for a little advice here. Debating between Darden, Ross and Stern for MBA next year. Half scholarship at Darden, 10K per year at Ross and no money at Stern.

Currently work at Tier 2 consulting and post-mba exit would be to MBB.

Thoughts on which to choose?

Probably fair to say school choice ultimately comes down to the individual. One thing to consider may be where you want to live post MBA or the financial considerations. Researching how well these schools recruit for the type of consulting you want may be helpful, too.

Welcome to GMAT Club and congrats on your admits!

I don't think you will have much of a difference for MBB recruiting coming from Stern, Ross, or Darden.
I believe Darden has MBB offices on campus (something to confirm with a current Darden student) but unless you have concerns about case method (which will likely be a plus for MBB interviews), I would strongly consider Darden taking into consideration its great scholarship.

P.S. You would have an advantage applying to MBB's vs. other applicants who are shifting industries and trying to pivot from Finance or Engineering.

P.P.S. Thank you very much for properly labeling and tagging your post!

Most people would need more details to help you with this problem. From the little detail shared the answer would be Darden because of the scholarship and since almost all 3 have quite similar MBB outcomes. Further it would also depend on your geographicl preferences and whether you would like the case method.

Hello Avergara94,

In terms of suitability of goals, all work absolutely fine. So, unless you have some sort of location preference, there is no major difference as such.

Considering the scholarship, the Darden offer looks enticing.

Good luck!
