Hi All,
I'm trying to decide between a few business schools. My goal is MBB in the NJ or NYC office.
Kellogg:
(+) Strongest MBB placement of the bunch for sure, strong culture and community, M7 prestige, strong tech recruiting as a fallback
(-) Most people end up in Chicago or west coast post MBA
Tuck:
(+) Strongest MBB placement outside M7 and arguably just as good as any M7, love the culture and students I've connected with, a decent amount of people recruit for NYC, skiing, amazing alumni
(-) Rural area will take some getting used too
Stern:
(+) Virtually all alumni are in NYC/NJ, strong brand in NYC/Tri-State, currently live in NYC and wouldn't have to move
(-) MBB placement is weakest of the bunch, haven't had amazing interactions with students or alum, extremely expensive cost of living and tuition (cost is pretty important to me)
Ross:
(+) 80k scholarship (cost is pretty important to me), great student body, solid MBB placement, football, college town, strong tech recruiting as a fallback, amazing alumni
(-) Most MBB placements are for detroit/chicago

Congrats on your admits and Ross scholarship!
NYC MBB office is the most competitive one. Chicago and NY are the strategy offices with usually the best projects clients and the most competition. All Top 10/M7/HSW compete for those placements. Part of the reason I feel Stern does not do as well in MBB as Tuck and Ross is that Stern is probably too focused on NYC.
My suggestion would be Ross based on your priorities and cost sensitivity. Getting 50% off is a pretty darn good deal!
Even if you did not have cost sensitivity, betting on the NYC office for MBB is a gamble.... but if you were OK with the cost but wanted to be in New York, I would then suggest going to Stern. Being local in the city helps. You do compete with Columbia and all the others nearby but still you have the advantage of being in the city and making connections through other networks.
it is a big gamble to put 80-100K on the line for a chance to get into MBB in New York. Can you beat out the competition? Are you polished enough to be client-ready and able to pull off an awesome meeting?
Good luck with our choice!

Congratulations on such stellar admits!
I would recommend Kellogg. I had a similar bag of admits, was able to choose Kellogg and make it to a big-office MBB.
I think Kellogg gets super preferential treatment at MBB in terms of numbers across offices. The school doesn't send do many to NYC or NJ, but I can attest from first-hand experience that it's due to demand, not supply. I haven't seen the same response to Ross, though it's definitely very well regarded. I would choose Kellogg even with the 80k at Ross
