I am beyond thankful to be in the position of having acceptances from a couple of really great schools. This journey was not easy for me, but it's definitely been worth it. I've been accepted to Kellogg, Yale (50% scholarship), Duke (70% scholarship), and Tuck (full tuition scholarship). There is a chance I may receive scholarship money from Kellogg, but for now let's assume I don't. Duke is a wonderful school but I didn't feel the same "fit" when I visited, so I'm going to decline that offer. I could definitely picture myself at Kellogg, Yale, and Tuck. I liked the students I met and the opportunities the programs offer (I've visited all 3 schools). I'm planning to pursue a career in education, although I may consider marketing or technology. Basically, my career goals aren't 100% confirmed, so a strong general management curriculum is a plus. Tuck is strong in general management, while Kellogg is obviously a marketing powerhouse and also has a strong social enterprise program. Yale is also strong in social enterprise, and having a scholarship will definitely help me since careers in the social sector tend to pay less. Long-term, I'd like to be on the east coast. I know this is a personal decision that I need to make on my own, but I'd love to hear others' thoughts. The GMATClub community has been an amazing resource throughout this journey. Edit: Received scholarship for 50% of tuition from Kellogg

I've finally made my decision. Of the three schools, I have chosen Tuck. It wasn't an easy decision, but it's one I'm happy with. Thanks for all of the feedback.

Woo congrats on the decision! I take it though this might change if you get an admit from Stanford?

Congrats! Is this dependent upon how your R2 turns out or no?

@Domo and Goalieman, yes, this decision may change in exactly three weeks when the R2 decisions for HBS and GSB come out. But for now, I don't want to get my hopes up with those schools. Making it to the interview stage is great, but I still have a ~50% chance of being rejected. I am excited about being a Tuckie, and if I happen to get into the other schools, it will just be a nice surprise.
