I suspect that Johnson may come back with a revised offer when you go back to inform them about an alternate decision, just FYI. Not uncommon esp as they look at their R2 volume.

Curious, I am in the same boat, what is your long term goal?
I thought that Cornell was better for finance and Tuck was a better choice for consulting.

googlegmat1 my sense is that Tuck is stronger for consulting, but I don't know if either of them are stronger for finance in terms of recruiting. As it stands my long term goals are in finance (focused in asset management) but I'm still considering options. Aside from the community at Tuck, I think that the curriculum is a better fit for me personally. I majored in biology in undergrad, so I think I could benefit from a longer core program. I also really like the international experiences that are integrated into the curriculum.

What are your thoughts?

Looking at pure Numbers:

Tuck (287 grads); 50 Finance jobs; 125K average salary
Johnson (283 grads); 69 Finance jobs; 128K average salary

There are definitely more people at Johnson looking at Finance than Tuck. Finance is a pretty broad category - corp finance, IB, asset management, there are lots of flavors. Salary seems quite similar though but slight bump for Johnson. It seems if everything else is equal, perhaps you will have a bigger group interested in finance in Johnson, which is good (could also be folks who did not score consulting/etc roles settling for finance in part, hence larger number).... it is very hard to interpret jobs data :( but I do think it makes it a competitive case for Johnson for Finance.
