Hello All,
I have admits from UCLA (no scholarship) and Rice Jones ($60k scholarship). I am also waitlisted at Kenan-Flagler. I am a bit confused about whether I should join UCLA Anderson or reapply next year.
Background:
Indian, 27, Male
GMAT 720 (Q50 V37) GPA 8.15/10
Undergrad from IIT Dhanbad: Bachelor of Technology in Petroleum Engineering
WE: 60 months. Have worked at an Indian Oil & Gas company in technical stream
I believe overall I have a good profile in terms of leadership and achievements, extra-curriculars and community volunteership.
Post-MBA career goals: Consulting/Strategy (though open to other streams as well). Looking to get into a school that can have a long-term impact on my career.
Didn't utlilise any consultant last year. Applied to 7 schools as follows:
Round 2: Duke,Ross (denied without interview); UCLA Anderson (admitted, no scholarship); UNC Kenan-Flagler (waitlisted); NUS Singapore (denied post interview)
Round 3: Tuck (denied post interview); Rice Jones (admitted with scholarship).
Currently am in a dilemma whether it will be worth joining UCLA Anderson with such a large debt or reapply next year to other schools in T10/T15 (and look for scholarship opportunities as well). Although I know there is no guarantee that I may get admitted to a stronger program next year (plus there will be no significant additions onto my profile in coming 2-3 months and probably won't re-take GMAT as well).
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
I can't see UCLA or Rice fulfills your goal but you still have KF. So let's wait and see. If you still have problem in money so i think you age allows you to reapply next year. Here is my advice.
1- Try to aim higher scor in GMAT to overcome the competitive pool you belong to.
2- Tuck provide feedback about the causes for denial. I believe it is valuable. So email them.
Good luck

If you're deadset on not-retaking GMAT nor using consultant, then I'd think you either go UCLA or no MBA at all.
TBH, 1. you probably need to retake the GMAT for higher score (considering your competitive pool) or 2. use good admission consultant to write better essays/applications if you aim to get into higher ranked program.
