Hi Everyone!
I have been fortunate to receive 3 admissions offers:
1. Notre Dame Mendoza (35% schol)
2. Indiana Kelley (10k per year)
3. Georgetown McDonough (No Schol)
I am not entirely sure about my post MBA goals, but I'll mostly like to get into consulting or brand management.
I would like your valuable opinions on the prestige of the program, nationally and internationally. Which one should I choose, for good job placements?

These schools are all neck in neck with each other in terms of rankings.
All are pretty close in terms of consulting placement - 19% for Kelley, 26% for McDonough, and 21 for Mendoza.
Mendoza is the smallest program so they probably attract fewer on campus companies than other programs but they likely have a tighter alum network since it is a small private program with strong identity and spirit.
Both Mendoza and Kelley are kind of in the middle of nowhere. Not a huge issue but not super helpful for networking but definitely helpful for staying focused.
I can see all of these work for your goals. Would visit the admit weekends and pick between Mendoza or McDonough.

As far as MBA brands go, these three options are pretty well-regarded. They all offer solid programs. All of them are usually between 20 and 30 in the USNWR ranking, I would call it a toss up.
As far as the parent institutions go, ND>Georgetown>>>IU.
FWIW:
McDonough is going to be *hella* more expensive than the other two both in terms of tuition and COL. I would take a hard pass on that option--unless there is a very specific reason you want to be a Hoya. (Maybe you want to work in consulting in DC at a firm that works with the federal government...)
As mentioned above, Kelley and Mendoza are not located *in* any major markets, however, Mendoza is only a ~90min drive to Chicago, so it isn't that far out.
If I were you, I would see which firms regularly recruit at Kelley and Mendoza. If one is a core school for your target industry/function/list of companies, that will help you decide. I would also try negotiating your offers at Kelley and Mendoza. See if you can get them to improve their scholly offers. That too may help you pick.
