Hi Guys!
I just got my admission offer from Wharton!
I applied to Tuck in Round 1 and got in with a $60 K scholarship. I had to deposit my enrolment fee for Tuck before I heard back from Wharton.
My husband applied to Tuck in Round 2 and also got in, but did not get any scholarship from Tuck so far.
My short term ambition is to get into Tech Consulting (So I can quickly pay off my loan).
In the longer term I plan to work for a Tech giant and eventually launch my own tech startup.
I am a US national but have been living in Pakistan, where I have been working for the past 4 years but due to the ever increasing exchange rates have almost negligible savings in USD.
My husband has his immigration petition approved and is waiting for his green card.
I am super confused about what I should do.
Will really appreciate any help you guys could provide to help in decision making or the steps I can or should take:
- My husband should apply to Wharton in round 3? (deadline has been extended to April 15th)
- I should appeal for a scholarship to Wharton? (any suggestions as to how and what to write)
- I should appeal to Tuck to increase my scholarship by leveraging Wharton decision?
- My husband should go to Tuck & I go to Wharton (and try our best to make things work)
Thanks!

Congratulations!!! Fantastic results and great job on the scholarship.
I think it would make sense for you and your husband to attend the same business school. I would get your husband to apply to Wharton and I would figure out a way (before April 15th) to drop a line to the Wharton admissions team to let them know that your husband is applying and even though both of you have been admitted to Tuck with one scholarship, you have your hope for Wharton.
I would have him apply for a few reasons including the uncertainty with the coronavirus. The more options you can have the better. Some schools have been allowing they are admitted students to differ for a year in case they have issues with visa paperwork and also to get refunds of their round two deposits. This is only Tepper at this time But there’s a very good chance of the business schools will adopt similar policies. This may play to your benefit in case you decide to switch to Wharton. If there is time and resources, I would apply in around three.
If your husband doesn’t get into Wharton, I would not attend two separate business calls. Wharton is great in tech but Tuck is great in consulting and you have a scholarship. It is slightly odd that you guys did not apply to the same set of schools. What were you thinking? Were you planning to be a part? Was Wharton a crazy fluke

Hahahaha nope! We recently got married and were aiming for similar schools as we both have similar post MBA interests.
He had tough luck with the GMAT till mid Dec because of which he couldn't apply in Round 1 and had to pick schools for Round 2 with very stringent deadlines!
I applied to HBS, GSB & Wharton in round 2. Got dinged by HBS & GSB and Wharton reached out today ^_^

I was thinking on those lines too! Any suggestions as to how to actually mention them! An appeal letter for scholarship or set up a phone call type with the ad-com?
