I'm very fortunate to have been admitted to Booth, Stern, and Johnson. I am trying to decide where to go and would like to know what you think about each school. One big difference is that Johnson offered me the Park Fellowship, Booth offered a $40k scholarship, and Stern didn't offer any kind of scholarship/fellowship.

Few things to know about me:
- Pre-mba background is in engineering
- Goal after MBA is to go into IBB or Consulting but haven't decided yet
- Would like to go to a school that would offer me the most opportunities after graduation

Consulting
B - 33.5%
J - 24%
S - 29%

IBB
B - 16.7%
J- 14%
S- 24%

Thanks!

I think your decision is between Johnson and Booth. If that Booth scholarship is 40k a year I would go with that otherwise I would take the full ride to Johnson

It seems you are in the same boat as this guy: booth-20k-per-year-vs-cornell-full-ride-215177.html
Hope you don't mind saving both of us some time and posting you a link to my reply there. I think Johnson Full ride is worth a strong consideration vs. $20K at Booth.

However, based on your goal, info, the school that has the most opportunities is probably Booth. You still have to compete with others (i.e. your classmates) so it won't be a slam dunk type of situation. I am sure a lot more than 33% at Booth wanted to go to consulting and in part, 33% went there because they were stronger candidates and not because they chose to go to Booth vs. Johnson. MBB and Consulting know that there are bright people across the board of the top 10/20 and some do choose full scholarships in lesser ranked schools - you just need to pull your weight and be better than the rest.
