Any help is highly appreciated.
I have applied to in Round 2 - Fuqua (rejected without interview)/Stern (in process) + Canadian schools (Rotman, Mcgill and Schulich) but prefer US as I want to work there.
In Round 3 - I have application ready for Tepper - but heard from current students that Consulting companies (My plan A) which recruit from Tepper don't sponsor H1B (Except PWC, as Deloitte stopped a year back) and Tech/other companies are hesitant to sponsor for Corporate finance roles (Plan B)
So which other colleges should I apply to maximize my chances for H1B considering my Plan A and B?

Hi
Lampard42Also look at Cornell in the US, and Ivey in Canada, as possible options.
