I am admitted to both NYU Stern and Dartmouth Tuck and have to make a decision ahead of NYU Stern's April 22nd deposit deadline.
A little background on myself: I have 4 years of Federal strategy consulting experience at a top "tier 2" consulting firm and am looking to switch over to commercial-- hopefully at a similar or stronger firm (read: M/B/B) in a NY/CT/NJ office. I currently live with my longtime girlfriend in Manhattan so we'd be moving down the street for NYU. Going to Tuck would necessitate a long-distance relationship for the ~21 months as she finishes grad school and likely accepts a job at a BB bank in the city.
Tuck is transparent with their consulting placement statistics and the CDO publishes updates. However, NYU Stern doesn't publish their placement statistics beyond giving asterisks to companies that hire 3 or more students (M/B/B all have asterisks), so it's hard to gauge how strong they are for consulting. GMAT Club has been an awesome resource throughout the business school application process so I am hoping to get some constructive feedback to help me make this decision (read: not WSO
).
Additionally, I am happy to provide more background about myself if it'll help guide responses. Thanks!

If you want to do consulting, Tuck is the easy choice - 20% of the class went to MBB. Stern is VERY finance focused.
That said, make sure you can make it work with your girlfriend. Tuck isn't prohibitively far that you can't visit on weekend, so I think you'll probably be okay.

I agree with MGH's comments. Tuck is the best choice for your career goals. I would only choose Stern if you are more concerned about doing long-distance.
