Hi all,
Hoping you can help me out here. I am currently deciding between Tuck and Booth.
Going into this process, Tuck was my #1 school - I loved the culture when I visited and the types of activities they had planned for prospective students.
But then I got an egregiously generous scholarship from Booth that I can't just turn down. And the more people I speak to at Booth, the greater it sounds (obviously, this is all part of the sell)
Not sure where I want to end up after school. Looking to go into ESG investing, fwiw.
The schools are basically the total opposite... but if I had no $ from Booth, I would 100% be going to Tuck.
Obviously, this is not a bad problem to have, but looking for any advice or thoughts - also if anyone can comment on their experiences on getting schools to match scholarships?
Hello
cosmonvHonestly I was shocked when I saw this title
When I have read your thoughts I did get that Tuck bought you with culture fit trip, but I am just little bit less shocked that you still didn't decide the obvious
Booth is way superior than Tuck.
It was like that for many years.
Booth is number one for Economics and Finance globally, where Investing falls as specialization, as being your target.
Having been offered full ride from Booth is beyond awesome
Egregiously generous indeed.
Booth is going to open some doors for you that Tuck would never have.
I can present you with various rankings and Tuck is always going to lag behind Booth sometimes for 10 places or more :

If you had both offers without scholarship, I would still advise you to go to Booth.
Good Luck with Chicago winter
