Applied Round 2 this year to Tepper, Ross and Yale. After interviews at Ross and Tepper, got waitlisted at Ross and admitted to Tepper with the Forte Fellowship of $120,000. Given that B school name matters so much, not sure whether I should take Tepper or let it go and apply again next year to some of the better schools like Columbia, Booth, Kellog, etc in Round 1.
Is it worth taking the risk of giving up Tepper and waiting another year and trying at one of these schools? I didn't apply this year cause I heard it was the most competitive year for B school applicants + I was applying Round 2.
Post career goal - Management Consulting (hopefully at the MBBs)
GMAT score - 730
Also, anyone know more details about the Forte Fellowship like how many students get it each year, etc.? Is it given out to most women at Tepper?

Hi MBA-Aspirant,
I can't give you 100% suitable guidance to your case but maybe tell a story about my journey, as I deferred my application as well.
After I did not get into my target schools last year, I decided to not take my Option B and re-apply this year (including redoing the GMAT...). It has been a good experience, because you already know how to do it and the process is a lot more efficient.
This time I didn't get into my dream school either, but could find peace in having tried anything I could (and getting an almost full-ride).
So if you are unsure and believe you can make it to M7 (GMAT is on par for that), I would definitely try again next year. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
PS 1: Currently working at an MBB, I think Tepper is also not a target school, making your chances quite slim...
PS 2: Pittsburgh...

Thank you so much Raffer99, your guidance is extremely useful! What would be your opinion if I got off the waitlist and got admitted at Michigan Ross? Should I still try and defer? And is Ross a target school for the MBB's?
