Hi, I have been admitted to Mendoza MBA with $60k scholarship, Carslon $30k scholarship (I have requested a scholarship reconsideration) and UC Davis $64k scholarship with TA worth $9700 for academic year 2021-2022.

I am currently pursuing my masters in Finance from Carlson and want to make a career switch into corporate finance post my MBA. I can avail my MSF stem designation so a non-stem MBA can also work. Which school will be best for me to break into the corporate finance industry??

I am waiting for my results from Vanderbilt MBA, UT Dallas, and University of Utah MBA. Please help me out with which school to choose?


Thanks

Hi sahai613, congratulations on the multiple offers! Nice position to be in. Agree with requesting scholarship reconsideration so hopefully you can roughly even that out. In terms of which school to choose, overall I think Mendoza has the strongest reputation. But I think you should dig into each school's employment data to see which one places the most students in finance, who are the top employers, and what starting salaries are. I would also consider geography. If you're keen to stay in the Midwest, then I don't see a strong reason to choose UC Davis over the others. But if you really wanted to be on the West Coast, then that would make sense to develop a strong local network. Hope that helps, and in the end, you can't go wrong with any of these options!
