Hi,
I´ve been admitted to Darden with half tuition scholarship and to Yale SOM with a 40k scholarship and I am having a hard time deciding. I intend to work in Management Consulting.
I am a Latin American student and in my country Yale brand has more strength than Darden. Moreover, Yale has gone up in rankings and my bet is that will continue in this trend. The cons on Yale is that i have less scholarship and I don´t think I have a great fit with the non-profit profile that predominates in Yale. Even though I think they are all great causes, it is not my major area of interest.
Darden gave me a better scholarship and have already been contacted by 6 alumni that told me great things about Darden. Moreover, I think there is a stronger Latin American presence. The cons is that Darden brand is less powerful than Yale, and the MBA brand will accompany me for my entire life.
I would really appreciate your opinions. Thank you!

If you were a domestic student I would recommend Darden given it is a bit of a better MBA brand but Yale is a stronger brand globally and that distinction will hold wait as it seems you plan to work internationally. It seems emotionally you are leaning towards Darden so I would make sure to visit both admit weekends if you can afford and then make your decision

Your main concerns seem to be: 1) worldwide / LA branding, 2) $$$, 3) fit.
For branding, Yale takes the cake here. I know classmates across LA/APAC, etc who really cared about that as a lot of places outside the US (and even in the US) only know about a handful of universities worldwide. Like it or not, Yale does benefit from that.
Money, Darden wins. Depending on your financial background, this may or may not tip the scales for you, but I would guess a lot of people on these boards would urge you to weigh that consideration towards the end of your list (if you can).
Fit. This is a personal choice for you. Your initial go-to is Yale's non-profit bent. I posted yesterday the stats, and if I'm generous those going into non-profits are around ~10% of each class (and if you look at the stats, you'll know I really am being generous here). Yes, that may be higher than % at other schools, but it is no where near a majority. Do some more research, visit the schools, see what you think. The core curricula and the school cultures are pretty different, so consider those points as well.
