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.

I am a career changer with a liberal arts background.
Pros for Tepper are red, Pros for McCombs are orange
My Thoughts:
- I want to transition into Strategy Consulting for MBB or Big 4
- I want to work in the mid-atlantic
- Then again, Texas is an awesome state and I might change my mind
- I went to a military college undergrad so UT Austin seems like a lot of fun
- Austin was a blast when I visited for a football game and interview
- McCombs places a little better in consulting, but seems like it is mostly in Texas
- The cost is about the same when scholarships are included.
- Both cities have vibrant tech cultures
- I have a weak quant background and that is definitely a void I need to fill
- I like how Tepper has eight mini semesters
- I grew up in Appalachia and something about attending the top science and technology school in Appalachia is appealing
- I like the small classes at Tepper...but McCombs is only a little bigger
- Both schools are building new $200 million facilities
- I feel like Tepper is really on the upswing and could keep moving up...but I don't know much about how McCombs is trending.
- Pittsburgh is way closer to home
Thoughts?

I would lean Tepper here. You'll get the quant background, placements into mid Atlantic, and good placements in strategy consulting. Visit though -- I've gathered culturally the schools are a bit different (McCombs might be more fun? Sorry Tepper friends!) so you'll want to consider your fit overall too
