I'm fortunate enough to have been accepted at both Fuqua and Ross, but before I make the big decision I’m looking for some feedback from fellow gmat club members.
A little background on me, I’m an operations manager (finance industry) in NYC. Looking to make a career switch to marketing/brand management at a consumer goods company. GMAT (Q48/V39/AWA 6/IR 7), GPA 3.4 in quant major from top 20 liberal arts school.
I did extensive research on school culture and companies I wanted to work for. I learned that Kellogg, Fuqua, and Ross - Kelley to a lesser extent - are the marketing powerhouses. I did notice that Fuqua has dropped in the marketing rankings and Unilever recently dropped Fuqua from their list of core schools. Not sure if I should read much into that, but Unilever was one of my target companies. To me it sounds like the major consumer goods companies have a somewhat regional footprint when it comes to recruiting. If my goal is to end up in the mid-atlantic (PA/NJ), what do you think is my best option?
Thanks!

I will say, if you want to apply next year to Kellogg, you're going to have to get your GMAT's up a bit, since you have 3.4 GPA and non-front office experience (same experience and GPA as me haha). I'm feeling 50/50 about my chances at Kellogg, and was rejected from Columbia ED...it does seem difficult for applicants like us to crack the M7. I'm personally leaning towards Fuqua if I can't crack Kellogg or Booth.

Thanks for the reply mgh. To be honest I'm kicking myself for not applying to kellogg this year. I never made it out to Evanston and I didn't want to apply without at least visiting. I also thought Fuqua or Ross would come through with some $$ to sweeten the deal, but no such luck. Are you looking to get into marketing post MBA?
Best of luck with the Kellogg/Booth decisions.
