Hi Guys
International student here. Was admitted into Cornell Johnson (40k forte scholarship) and UVA Darden (no scholarship).
My post-MBA goal is consulting, hopefully in US but I'm fine with working in my home country (Asia) as well. I've thought long and hard about the pros and cons of each school but find myself flip-flopping every couple of days for the past couple of weeks. Here are some of the considerations I made.
1) Fit: I enjoyed speaking with students from both schools and I think I will fit well in both environments
2) Location: Not much of a difference to me as both are in rural areas
3) Reputation: Darden seems to enjoy a better reputation in the US compared to Johnson. However, internationally, Cornell university is more well known.
4) Career opportunities: Johnson seems weaker than Darden in consulting. If consulting doesn't work out at Darden, it would seem like there are still other opportunities available.
5) Teaching methods: I feel like I will learn and grow more from the case method at Darden.
6) Scholarship: Do you think $40k is significant enough to sway the vote to Johnson?
What are your thoughts? Can anyone who has attended either school share their experience?

In a similar place, but was WLd at Darden. My question for you is, do you want MBB? Based on conversations I've had, it seems that MBB is difficult from Johnson and is an uphill battle. Is it 40k per year? That would bring Johnson down to around 28k which is a pretty nice number...

id go to darden, they feed much better into MBB than johnson. As an example, while darden is eligible for the pre MBA programs for all of MBB, johnson is only eligible at mck.

Any more comments? Pls help.
I love Johnson and think that it’s a great program. For what I want, Johnson makes sense. If you want MBB go with Darden (but only if you think you’d be competitive, re 700+ GMAT). If you are fine with going to a firm like Deloitte or EY, follow your gut. I believe numbers are similar...

If you want to do consulting, I would go to Darden. The recruiting / network will be better and it has a better reputation in the U.S. Also think there is value in the case method as well for consulting. (Plus you will have better weather!)
Another strong vote for Darden!
40k is nothing in the bigger scheme of things. Although the employment numbers (https://gmatclub.com/forum/employment-a ... 63957.html) at both schools are pretty similar, Darden will give you a better shot at cracking into MBB.
All the best. Do let us know your final decision.
