Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Hello all,
I have received offers from Carroll, Boston College (20k $) and Fisher, OSU ( 30k $), and would love to hear your advice on which school better fits my career goals.
Post MBA goal:
- Corporate Finance/Roles with Project Valuation, Cash Flows and Financial planning.
- preferably in NYC/Boston hubs.
If I go by ranking/brand, Fisher is the most obvious choice, but Carroll seems to have a very obvious location advantage (Boston) and its Finance Faculty is quite well recognised.
I am not too keen on Graduate Assistantship. Fisher's merit based funding is tied with the assistantship (10hrs per week) and has no stand-alone tuition waiver, whereas Carroll BC has a 16k scholarship + 4k stipend for Assistantship. So if I take up Fisher I will have to compulsorily take up GA.
Please give me your thoughts and insights on these two choices. This will greatly help in my decision making.

The difference between the rankings and the scholarships offered is nothing in the long run. Your goal is to get in front of as many recruiters as possible. The competition is brutal.
If your heart is set on working in the Boston/NYC area, then you will need BC's location advantage, as on-campus recruiting is your best shot. If you decide to attend OSU, it won't be impossible to work in the NE, but I imagine you would have more interaction and potential success with Chicago firms.

Congrats for your offers.
I feel that you have studied well your situation and set your goals. I think going to Carroll will satisfy your goals. The recent stats shows that most of Carroll class employed in finance sector. So I think it is the best for you.
Good luck
