Thanks everyone for all their help with everything up to this point.
This is where I am at: Kellogg (WL) vs Ross (No $) vs Johnson ($$, invited to scholarship weekend so anywhere from 20k to full ride).
I am first going to have to make the choice of Ross vs Johnson (with $$).
I have a CPA background with internal audit experience. My goal after school is to get into strategic planning for a company like United Airlines, but I also would be interested in taking a consulting role directly out of school and then transitioning to this type of roll in 2 to 3 years. I would ideally like to end up in the Midwest (Chicago), but this is not a deciding factor for me as I would be okay in NYC as well. I understand that the details are not all filled in yet since I do not know my exact scholarship amount at Johnson, so if this makes a difference in the choice let me know what you think the amount would be that would sway you.
As an added bonus I added Kellogg to this as well. Let's assume two things. First that I get into Kellogg and second that I get a full ride at Johnson. How would this change your decision?
Thanks for all thoughts.

*sigh* first world problems. 
I'll start by saying Johnson and Ross are peer schools and it comes down to regions. For instance, I have some friends at Johnson who want to go back to the midwest, so they had to do some off-campus recruiting to get there. That said, Johnson is giving you a scholarship of some sort vs. zero from Ross. I'd say all things being equal, take the $$, unless of course the idea of living in Ann Arbor is much more appealing to you and you want a different student life experience. Big Ten school like Michigan is going to be VERY different from Cornell.
That said, if you do get the Park Fellowship, you can try to leverage it with Ross to see if they'll throw any $$ your way to compliment the situation.
Now - if you get the Park and then get off Kellogg's WL, I'd say the Park Fellowship is tough to ignore. However, if you're interested in consulting, Kellogg is a beast in that department, and if you're looking at a $20K/year scholarship, I'd head to Kellogg esp. if you're interested in MBB.
The latest numbers from Kellogg are pretty impressive for the class of 2013:
McKinsey: 46
Bain: 38
BCG: 34
I don't know the exact numbers, but I'm pretty sure at Johnson the combined MBB hires are less than 10.

If you're interested in strategic planning, there's no point in beating around the bush with consulting for 2-3 years then go to industry. You are just wasting time from gaining the network and industry knowledge needed to for the corporate job. The myth is that consulting will fast track your career in corporate. In conversations with my classmates who went to MBB and now are looking to get out, it's far from reality. Kinda like the myth that companies will fall head over heels to recruit any MBAs for a top-tier school.
With that in mind, I would say take the money from Johnson. My perception is that corporate level recruiting from those two schools are similar, minus regional differences.
