Does the scholly cover the entire MBA/MA at Wharton/Penn? Or just the Lauder portion?

If it covers everything, definitely go to Wharton/Penn.

If it only covers Lauder, it'd be a much closer call.

It is a fellowship that covers the Wharton tuition. Doesn't cover the Lauder portion.

Two years' MBA tuition in the bank...I would take Wharton 100%. I would also try to negotiate for a bit more money to cover some (or all) of the Lauder portion as well. (I know it is a well-funded program, and they clearly like you.) In any case, big congrats. That is a helluva admissions cycle.

Amazing congrats! I'd do Wharton, personally. I think Stanford GSB and Wharton are more or less peer schools despite GSB being much more selective. Both have amazing brands.

I would pay up and go to Stanford if money or student loan is not a problem for you

In term of MBA, Harvard and Stanford seem to be in their own league

I would also negotiate with Stanford just in case they would match some Wharton scholarship

GSB and Wharton are not peer schools, the only peer to GSB is HBS. I'd go with Stanford personally - the brand/network are worth the $.
