Hi
I am recently admitted to Cornell MBA program whereas I am waitlisted for Yale and Michigan after interview and Duke without interview. As a management consulting prospect, I am a little confused about what to do as I have to deposit the initial payment before January 15, 2015. The consulting outlook of Duke and Ross is better than that of Yale or Cornell but the latter two are recognized for their Ivy league brands globally besides being great business school. However, the consulting recruitment, especially that of Cornell, isn’t that great as there are few hires from MBB.
I need advice on what line of action should I take. Should I write to Yale to consider my application and give my decision earlier so that I can simply pay their deposit and get enrolled there as I would prefer Yale over Cornell any day. (Any take on this will be highly appreciated)
OR
Should I wait to hear from other schools and pay for the deposit as per the deadline. The problem with this approach is that Ross considers international waitlisted candidates by June and that is way too late for me to wrap up everything here and apply for Visa and loan etc. Also no timeline is given for Yale and I am not even interviewed at Duke and that means simply pushing my application to round 2 at earliest.
Please suggest a workable solution.

Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure Yale would rush a decision because you want them to. Many students are in this position every single year so for them they just may not see you as anything unique. It does not hurt however if you have a waitlist manager at these schools to have a frank discussion with them about your dilemma about wanting to attend but with deadlines approaching you have to make a decision.
This is one of the challenges of applying in different rounds you set yourself up for difficult situations like this one. I think you need to ask yourself if yo would rather not attend business school as a worst case scenario or if you want to play it safe with Cornell. Some applicants put deposits down at multiple schools but that course of action is generally frowned upon. I'd recommend talking to the waitlisted school see if they can accommodate you but be prepared to have to make a tough decision given the unlikelihood of a change in status.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I have got an admit from Fisher school of business(50% scholarship) and University of Irvine Merage business school($40k for 2 years).
I am also waiting on two other schools(Uni of Maryland-Robert Smith Business School and Scheller Business School-Georgia Tech).
I am a bit confused now itself and if I get an offer from these two also, I will be in a spot of bother to choose among them.
I know each B school has its own merits and de-merits but can you help me come to a conclusion and a comparision between these schools.
