FuturePM91My initial response would be based on the Johnson's employment reports and it looks like they have 2 out of 3 MBB's recruiting on campus and sent a respectable 27% (72 people) into consulting last year. Kellogg slaughtered it with 165 people going corresponding to 40%.
That is not a guarantee however, and you will be competing with the rest of your classmates because even at Kellogg there are folks who did not get in and it is even tougher for international applicants since not all firms hire. Would you be able to out-perform 80% of your international classmates in interviews, networking, and drive? You have 6 posts on GMAT Club, 2 of which are in this topic so it is hard to tell but you seem to have achieved an awesome GMAT Score.... but can you ace interviews, etc.
80%of tuition - not a small amount. Are you able to pay full tuition at Kellogg? Would you be able to borrow that?
Another thing - Kellogg has the STEM and Johnson does not (at this time that is)

JohnnyBlaze does make a good point that strong school brand names perform a lot better during hard years but that's again not a guarantee of performance but just better chances. How bullish are you about yourself?
Thank you, bb.
I agree with your points and being an international student, I am not sure how much bullish can I be. And in this scenario, graduating with less debt is the best I can get.
Just to add one point, I am about to get Canada PR. Does that change your opinion on this?
Regarding your point of how much bullish am I, I have always been under confident in life. Academically, I have been among the toppers but I guess MBA is different and that is why I am in this dilemma of choosing between Kellogg and Cornell.
Otherwise, I would have definitely chosen Kellogg.
On a side note, I have started negotiating with Kellogg on scholarship. I know they won’t match at all but how much can I expect at max?
