Hi all, happy holidays!
I am a latin american prospective student that just got the following results from R1:
Wharton: WL
Booth: Admitted (no $)
Sloan: Admitted (no $)
Kellogg: Admitted (no $)
Tuck: Admitted ($60K)
Background: LATAM 28M, with a business development role in a big tech company (Apple/Amazon/Microsoft/Google) in LATAM.
Short term goal: Want to go to business school to develop a business foundation that I lack and recruit for consulting to expose myself to different industries through different projects as I've been in big tech pretty much my whole career.
Long term goal: Love tech and would love to go back to the industry in a strategy role after gaining management/business acumen at the MBA and the consulting gig. Most of the strategy managers and above in my company have MBA and/or MBB experience.
I want to stay in the US for a few years and then come back to LATAM eventually (within the next 3 - 5 years after graduation in 2022). Depending on immigration situation also open to come back to a consulting office in LATAM right after the MBA.
I am unsure on what to do. I don't really have much preference other than I know Sloan just got the STEM thing which allows internationals to apply for a 2 year extension on OPT after the first year.
Culture wise, I found Sloan and Booth pretty similar and enjoyable (though liked Boston more than Chicago), Kellogg was fun and the main building is fantastic, didn't like Wharton much tbh so I will probably take myself off the waitlist unless recommended otherwise. Tuck I really liked but when I went to interview I realized I probably won't enjoy being so far away from a big city for 2 years (I'm from a huge city myself).
Nothing outstanding (positive or negative) in any of my visits to each campus when I interviewed.
Money is not an issue, I just want to go to the place that maximizes my chances to reach my goals.
Would love your input if anyone has been in a similar situation and could elaborate a bit on what made you pick what you picked.
Thanks all!

Congratulations on your admits! And merry Christmas too! 
I don’t think it would be a mistake to go to any of the schools but I would take into consideration stem designation; it could be a big help. Many programs are shifting to have stem designation and it seems 10 programs popped up in the last two months alone. I have a suspicion that Booth and Wharton may also get it shortly. Tuck as well.
I voted for Sloan. It’s very well known worldwide, much more so than booth and has the stem designation. If money is not a big consideration, I would pick Sloan. Sorry for a very rudimentary approach....
Congratulations again!

Why not go straight to a tech company?
But whatever your short or long terms goals are - Sloan is an easy choice, It has good tech recruiting and it also has good MBB recruiting.
It gives you the best of both worlds.
Merry Christmas
