Wont you be working in the US for 2-3 years to pay loans back? So getting MBB from Ross would be the trick?
Ya i could have lived in Jupiter for my MBA I was very busy with acads and lots of ECs.

60% of the class of 2021 went into consulting last year median salary $165K. https://poetsandquants.com/2021/11/12/2021-mba-jobs-record-pay-placement-at-michigan-ross/#:~:text=Graduates%20of%20the%20Ross%20School's,6.7%25%20up%20from%20last%20year.
Ross is top notch and I really have no idea what gives you the impression otherwise? Some of the positives: the MAP program makes it so you experience consulting before your internship. It's less expensive with tuition and living expenses and I think being in a college town is more of an authentic experience than a big city. It's freezing cold but cold hands warm hearts. You are less than an hour from Detroit where there is a huge middle eastern community.

Hi,
I have applied to 13 schools this year, got only 1 admit from Ross
I got rejected from HBS, YSOM, Stern, Kellogg, Booth, CBS, Anderson, LBS
WLed in Haas, Johnson and Fuqua

I can’t decide on whether I should just go with Ross if it’s the only admit I have in the next month (I need to get things done for scholarship and funds so I have to decide on which school early), or wait for another year and re-apply?

I have 3 YOE, Middle Eastern, 158Q and 153V in GRE, 3.7 GPA.

I don’t know if I might have better chances next year when I improve my WE, or if I should just take what I have now and go with Ross.

I just don’t know if Ross will get me to where I want post-MBA which is consulting. And I’m not sure if it will provide me the same MBA experience as other top schools.

Personally, I really want to do an MBA this year, timing is perfect for me and tbh, I really want to live this experience of living abroad in the US. But I also want to combine it with a good school that will offer me great opportunities like other top schools.

WDYT?

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the response!


I’m only saying this because I rarely see Ross grads work in MBB in my region, they are mostly HBS, INSEAD, LBS and Booth grads.

I’m in between two ideas that are making me unsure:
- The MBA Experience: I have been dreaming about doing an MBA and living in the US my whole life, while Ann Arbor seems like a great city, I don’t know if i’ll be able to “live” this experience, I keep thinking that even if I live in an urban city, I’ll mostly be busy studying and won’t have time for city fun, plus I can travel in the 2nd year and go to the cities I like.
- Ross’s reputation in the middle east and my country: Like I mentioned above, Ross is not very well known in my country and employers here realllly care about names and rankings. I still think that it is indeed a good school but I’m worried that I won’t be able to get the opportunities I want in MBB

No my MBA is sponsored by my employer (don’t need to get back to work for them if I don’t want to). So I’m not worried about paying back loan thankfully but I do need to apply for the sponsorship as soon as possible.
