Hey guys
As the dust has settled, I myself with admission offers from three schools: Wharton, Booth and Kellogg, and am very grateful to be in this position. However, the decision is complicated by the fact that I was really hoping for some $$$ not having much in savings and the fact that the max loan I can get from these schools will be 80% of 200k, so still need 40k in cash (and not including other expenses which obviously accrue over time). (btw, 80% is the limit if one is not a US citizen or permanent resident)
First of all, if the goal is to work in investment management or PE/HF, which school(s) would you guys pick (assume being agnostic about location or culture)
Secondly, is there anything I can do to convince these schools to give me some scholarship money? Even 20k would make a huge difference in my ability to attend business school. Does anyone here have experience in or has heard of others that has negotiated some $ from any of these schools?
Thanks everyone - really appreciate any information you can provide

Hi aaplicant
congrats on that list of admits, absolute insanity! I believe that Wharton is the strongest in the area you want to work in (take that with a grain of salt). If so, then this will play a role in providing more campus recruiting from companies you may be interested to work in.
As for your second question, yes I heard that some schools are open for negotiation when it comes to scholarships. At Fuqua (my school), offers are highly negotiable. In all cases, it doesn't hurt to play a little polite "I got offers from other schools..." kind of game with the adcoms and see if they react positively.
