Thrilled to receive 3 sweet offers, exceeded my expectation.
However, having a hard time to make a decision. Any advise?
Post MBA career goal: IB (prefer in New York)
Stern
Pro: Full ride, close to all the banks in New York, easy to network
Con: many students are pursuing IB, so the competition is though, no campus environment
Fuqua
Pro: Full ride, All the students and alumni I've talked to are very helpful. Highly collaborative environment. Team Fuqua is not fake. Campus environment is great. Love the campus.
Con: location in the south, need to fly to New York, seems not very focus on finance
Booth
Pro: my original dream school, like the quant aspect, students all seem very smart and down to earth. Visited the class, like the professor quality
Con: only partial scholarship, so I have to pay <50k for the tuition. Not sure whether it is needed to fly to New York frequently to recruit at NY bank. Don't really want to stay in Chicago post MBA. The weather is too cold
Hello
nales125You should be thrilled indeed, congratulations
Dont get why you have hard time to decide to go to your dream school ?
Stern is second best choice.
Weather is indeed to cold
but why did you apply there in first place ?
You cannot get offer from Booth your dream school and then complain on weather
you knew that when you applied and it still was and still is your dream school and of many more who pursue finance.
Booth is number 1 for Finance and Economics.
Period.
Stern is also great for Finance.
Forget about Fuqua in these settings.
There is no need for me to present you now with rankings, salaries etc. I will assume you are aware of that.
IMO 50k difference absolutely worth of going to Booth, as everybody else noticed.
If not, Stern is really good solution also.
Good luck with going to your dream school and fulfilling your dreams
Not many people can claim and experience that
