Hello everyone,
I have been fortunate enough to gain admission to several different business schools. While there are others out there, it has really come down to these two schools. I have been offered the Dean's Fellowship at Kelley which includes full tuition and health insurance. I have also been offered 50% tuition at UVA Darden. The cost difference over the entirety of the MBA program would be roughly $72,000 more if I attended Darden.
My post-MBA goal is management consulting. Obviously, I would try to get into an MBB firm. I know that placement at these firms are far better at Darden, but that by no means guarantees a position at one of those firms if I attend UVA. Back-up goal is with a Deloitte/Accenture/PwC firm or a leadership development program at an industrial company.
I enjoyed both schools. For me, Bloomington and and Charlottesville would both be great places to spend two years. I was more attracted to Darden during my campus visits based on classroom environment, faculty, and caliber of student body.
Short-term post-MBA, location does not matter; I wouldn't mind some warmer weather. Long-term (~10 years out) I would like to be in the Midwest at an industrial company in a marketing/business development/strategy role.
Do you think the Dean's Fellowship at Kelley (both the tuition and the intangibles) outweigh the 50% scholarship at Darden given my career goals? Looking forward to hearing your opinions.

One other aspect is Darren’s case method similar to HBS. Some love it and think it is the best whiny while others can get a bit tired of that. Keep that in mind.
Darden is pretty well known for its IB placements.
PS. You would be paying 10k per ranking spot if you went to Darden. That’s not terrible. Though it is more of a logarithmic rather than a linear scale.
PS. If you are an international applicant, I would pick Kelley. If you are a domestic Applicant, a bit debatable I feel.
