Thanks for responding! If you were in my shoes would you take a $20k scholarship from Ross or $120k from Tepper?

Thanks!

Tech recruiting has been a challenge. Best shot is through a referral or a network....

Congrats on your admits!

Ross would be a good all-round option. Tepper also good but smaller so a bit less helpful in recruiting and network.

Tepper better suited from the standing of urban lifestyle.

Stern is in NYC but the cost will be quite a bit higher with living expenses and tuition.

I would take 120,000 from Tepper.

100k is just too much. Which means you can potentially negotiate but Ross is somewhat notorious allocating all of their financial aid leaving very little room for negotiation.

What helps with tech recruiting these days and I don’t have a crystal ball to see what will happen in two years, is having previous tech experience or strong company brand name.

What I’m hearing is that if you don’t have relevant experience the recruiting is so bad for tech at the moment that even having an M7 name such as Columbia or Kellogg is not good enough to command an interview, so the difference between Ross and Tepper would likely be insufficient just because of how curtailed tech recruiting is at the moment....

Super helpful insight! I’m coming from two successful, yet smaller public tech companies but think it’d go a long ways towards me landing in tech successfully!

Thanks again!
