I am soliciting for advice from the intelligent forum lurkers...
I have recently been accepted into KFBS and Johnson, and feel extremely blessed to have the predicament of where to spend the next two years of my life. Both schools are excellent academic institutions that place fairly well in consulting. Both schools have been very willing to help a military applicant.
Background:
-Undergraduate from a Public School in New Jersey
-Spent the last 4 years in the U.S. Military as an Intelligence Officer
Short Term Goal:
-Job: Consulting with McKinsey, Bain, Booz, BCG, Deloitte, Accenture, A.T. Kearney
-Location: VA, MD, DE, MD, PA, NJ, NY, CT, MA
KFBS:
-Public Ivy.
-Great college town, which expanding business opportunities in the Research Triangle.
-More enjoyable social life. Better sports, weather, and feel.
-Experiential learning opportunities (STAR).
-Great placement stats in the South and growing in the Northeast.
-Focus on leadership development.
Johnson:
-Ivy League brand.
-Higher ranked.
-Strong alumni connections in desired post-MBA locations.
-Relatively close proximity to NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, DC.
-Immersion program seems like a very solid exposure opportunity.
-Long term salary growth. Total career pay from Johnson exceeds KFBS.
-Closer to my family/friends/business connections.
Any thoughts, feelings, curses, and general comments are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Leshota

Are you still waiting on Ross, Darden and McDonough?
It sounds to me like you like the social element of KF more than Johnson but career-wise Johnson wins out. Attend both admit weekends and make a decision then. I think in terms of prestige and job placement Johnson is stronger than KF.

I am still waiting on Ross and McDonough. I was not offered an interview to Darden, so that appears as if it is no longer an option. If, hypothetically, I was offered admissions at Ross and McDonough, would that really change where I should go? I know that Ross is a powerhouse for consulting, but in my opinion it is on a slight decline and I'm not sure how well they place in my desired locations in the Northeast.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the admit weekends as I am currently deployed. Would you recommend paying the deposit at both schools and then deciding later? My current deposit deadline is January 6th. I am sadly relying on personal recommendations and objective numbers. Again any guidance would be appreciated.
