Dear all,
I read bb 's blog "Value of a top 10 MBA" and according to the matrix, I should be able to make the decision. But I'd like to hear more opinions if possible.
I got 70% scholarship from Emory, admitted to Fuqua (no $), Darden (no $), and KF (also no $). My post-MBA goal is Marketing, preferably in technology or back to FMCG.
Emory is a good school and also famous for its Marketing program. Placement is also top in the country. I like Atlanta too (can't cope with cold weathter).
However, I find the class size quite small and I don't feel the same proudful, vibrant student spirits like that of Fuqua. I'm not in the US so I only know about the schools via alumni.
My heart says Fuqua but my head says Emory. I don't want to graduate with a lot of debt (taken from my mother
)
At the moment I have 50k in cash (to spend on living expenses in 2 years). I also own a house, whose value can cover the rest of the cost, but I want to keep it as a safety net instead.
Is there much difference in term of academic among these three schools?
Any advice is much appreciated
By the way, if I take the 70% to Fuqua or Darden, what are the chances of getting 30% to 50% from them?

Congrats on your great work and luck with the scholarship.
It is never wrong to check with Fuqua or Darren to see if they can help with the decision and perhaps offer an opportunity to get some help. It is late in the year so funding is scarce.
I don't know what to tell ya really. Emory looks great based on your picture and description. Fuqua is top 10 and there is more pride. That's natural. It won't be ideal however. Some classes will suck and you will have idiot classmates that you will make you doubt adcom sanity. That's present in all schools.
Look at it from a diff perspective. if you are bullish about yourself and your marketing skills, put your marketing skills to work and market yourself that'll let you earn 70,000 using your own wits at Emory. Should not be hard if you are not changing careers.
If you are feeling defensive, go to Fuqua and let the reputation help with job placements and help feel good about yourself and where you are.
Do you want a chance to make $70k?

Congratulations for your options. I would choose Emory because it is pretty decent school with good employment plus you got a scholarship there. If you dont care about money then go for Fuqua or Darden.
Good luck
