MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

A friend of mine recently got admitted to NYU. He will be receiving around 20K in scholarships over the two years (altogether, not each year). He is also on the WL for Chicago.
He is an international. Both schools have good reputations in out home country. He wants to work at a VC eventually, though his background is commercial law and entrepreneurship and realistically it may be hard getting a VC job after school.
An advantage living in New York has is that there is a tiny hedge fund we helped start up a few years ago is located there and he could probably be involved in it while studying in New York (maybe unpaid internship and etc). Also, he has several friends who live in New York and knows no one in the Chicago area (except me:)).
We argued about whether or not he should fight it out for Chicago and pick them over NYU if he gets admitted (even if he gets no money). I would appreciate your thoughts!
Thanks,
Gil

10k a year isnt a huge difference, especially when you realize that attending NYU will cost more because even though Chicago is far from cheap, NYC is very expensive. Whats the harm in trying to get into Chicago and then deciding. He might not even get in thus making it an easy decision. He only has one acceptance at this point so dont let him get ahead of himself. NYU would be great for what he wants to do.
The real question is does he plan to go back home after his MBA or does he want to stay in the US. If he plans on returning overseas which brand is stronger, is it a big difference?

Thanks. Brands are quite similar over here but he plans on sticking it out in the US for at least 3 years.
