Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Hey everyone! Looking for a bit of advice:
I was admitted as a college senior to both Booth (Booth Scholars Program) and Sloan (Early Admissions) to start in 2-5 years. Just graduated and will be headed to an MBB this fall. I'm planning to be in consulting for the next 2-3 years and then head to business school. I'm not entirely sure if I'll take sponsorship and come back to my firm or if I want to immediately jump into something else.
While neither program is binding, they both require deposits every year to secure my spot, so I would prefer to make a decision sooner rather than later. I got a 50% scholarship at Booth but Sloan said they will only consider for scholarship money the year of matriculation.
My long-term career interests are largely in entrepreneurship and healthcare, which leads me to lean Sloan, but Booth has also recently built up some great entrepreneurship resources. Of course, the scholarship money is a big draw for Booth too.
Would really appreciate any thoughts! Thank you in advance for your help.

Congrats
Big school + big resources + great scholarship = Booth
I see that Booth could provide your with all resources for your goals. Also MIT may not grant you the same scholarship.

Congrats on your admits! Great job thinking ahead!
Booth has been building and strengthening its startup and entrepreneurship resources. New Venture Challenge. Polski Center, etc.
The schools are different obviously and Sloan does sound like a slightly better fit but I can't see it being worth throwing away a scholarship and betting that perhaps in 3-5 years you will get a break.
I think it would be a mistake to drop Booth at this point (interests and careers change by the way... many people going into the MBA come out with a diff goal or diff idea. You are just starting out your career and you may really get into something completely different after your first MBB assignment)... How much do you have to deposit at this point in time? Is keeping both a consideration or it is not practical?
