Re: Simon ($$) vs McCombs ($) vs Fuqua [#permalink]
The difference in recruiting and placement between McCombs and Fuqua isn't drastic, but its noticeable, especially if you are gunning for m/b/b or the likes. McCombs wouldn't lock you out of anything, but it would require a little more footwork for certain companies. Now keep in mind top tier consulting or banking jobs will be tough to land no matter where you are. Plus the scholarship money is a nice draw for McCombs. The difference between Simon and McCombs, on the other hand, will likely be quite drastic. I don't know much about Simon, but I saw it is ranked 37th by US News. Anything in the top 50 will be ok but you will severely limit your recruiting opportunities compared to the other two schools.

I voted for McCombs for the same reason as kasonhills. If you get admitted at Fuqua, it could be a difficult decision to choose between Fuqua/McCombs based on your career/life goals but Simon is not even within the same league.

by the way, you say you've pretty much made up your mind already, what are you leaning towards?

OK so this is what I did. I paid my deposit to McCombs and waited for Duke. Today I received my admit decision so I will forget my McCombs deposit and attend Duke. :)

congrats. Remember to let McCombs know asap so they can give your spot to someone else.
