Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I'm a nontraditional candidate who wants to make a significant career change. Into what, I'm still working out. I'm in California and would like to return after school. Having a strong alumni network is important to me, but so is not being in a crazy amount of debt. I will pretty much be reliant on loans as I don't have assets to cover the cost.
I have positive feelings for all the schools I was admitted to.
Haas: really like the culture and feel. I wouldn't have to move and maintain a separate apartment from my partner--this is a cost savings. Does the Haas brand carry outside of the West (asking in case I ever want to relocate)? Don't know yet about scholarships.
Cornell: offered me a full-tuition fellowship. Connected well with the people. Concerned about strength of alumni network in the West as well as the ease of recruiting for an internship and job in California.
Kellogg: obviously a great school--enjoyed my campus visit. Don't know about scholarships yet.
Yale: had a great campus visit experience. Didn't receive any scholarship--I don't feel compelled to pay full freight when I have such a generous offer from Cornell.
Thanks!

I think you have to go with Haas here.
You'll save money with Cornell, but Haas has the stronger network in Cali and will save you from having to pay for additional rent, travel and lodging expenses, and being separated from your partner.

You seem to be leaning Haas -- great West Coast reach and placements and it sounds like it will be easier logistically for you. The $ at Cornell (and any full-ride really) is hard to turn down.
Reach out to some Cornellians (?) and see what their placement is on the West Coast. I know the move is possible to do, but I also don't know what that reach really looks like in-person. Actually if highwyre237 is still lurking on these boards, he would certainly be able to tell you.
