Hi
I got an admit from Weatherhead (50% scol), and from what I have unearthed so far, they are good for finance (ranked #5 in US - ask accepted). However, job opportunities are not so good in Ohio, and Weatherhead is very much a 'regional' school.
I am waiting for results from Simon, and it seems it is better than Weatherhead (location, overall rankings).
If I get admitted in Simon with good scol, fine.... if not, the question is - do I go to Weatherhead, or apply elsewhere next year ? I was thinking of aiming for the following -
Darden
UCLA
Ivey (Canada)
A good scholarship is must for me, so are these schools feasible given my profile ?
My GMAT - 700 (Q-50, V-34)
4+ Work Experience
Present Occupation - Analyst in Capital One
Thanks in advance,
Adi

Well, I would pick Weatherhead with 50% scholarship.
I would also tag the post with proper tags, but that's me and I am old fashioned.
1. The employment stats are about the same
2. I think Simon has actually a worse location (though it is 3 hrs from NYC)
3. The schools are quite different so you have to look a bit at profile and curriculum and class size (Simon is about 2x)
4. Simon has better rankings but not $50K worth better since Simon grads average salary is 86K and Weatherhead $80K
P.S. about waiting to apply next year - if you think you have a chance, UCLA and Darden will give you $25k extra salary upon graduation compared to Simon/Weatherhead but they are top 10-20 schools and tough to get in. If you get dinged from Simon, that will be your sign not to bother with Anderson or Darden.
Good Luck!

Not sure what is your criteria for picking up B schools. Darden and UCLA are both tough schools to get into. Add to that if you want scholarship from these schools means you are a top 10 US B School profile. To be honest nothing stops you from applying next year ,but the offer from Weatherhead would not be present next year. Your GMAT is ok for Darden and with a solid story and good recos I see you have decent chance at Darden. UCLA is more of tech school , so unless you want to end up on West Coast with tech companies , UCLA could be little wayward for your career. For finance Simon would be a better choice for finance.
