Hi,
I wanted to get your opinion on choosing Fuqua vs Jones (Rice). The latter offered me a scholarship of $50k while Fuqua did not provide any assistance. Just going by rankings alone Fuqua is the correct choice, but I feel a bit hesitant in letting so much money go away, which is why I wanted to get your opinion on this matter.
I am an international candidate, and my preference would be to obtain a job in investment banking/sales and trading in any of the big bulge bracket firms. I don't particularly care about location, as long as I can get a job and stay in the USA after graduation. My work experience consists of 3 years in consulting at a corporate banking firm and 2 years in investment banking.
Given this information what do you guys think? My opportunity cost is to let go of $50k plus get significant debt at a considerable interest rate.
Thanks.

A great question -- but one that is also fundamentally unanswerable by anyone on here! 
What do the career stats suggest per school? What does your gut tell you? You have lofty goals -- are they worth $80K over 15 years (assuming 7% interest, 15 year payoff.)
Disclosure -- I went to Fuqua.

Duke is easy choice if you want to do investment banking. Fuqua has strong investment banking recruiting, Rice has little to no recruiting in that area.
