Quick background- from the south, went to ug at an acc school with diverse student body (read as: bunch of northerners)
Career goals- would like to get into energy, specifically renewables. ideal role would be an LDP at a big energy company, but also open to energy consulting or finding an mba level finance/operations type role at a cool renewables company like invenergy
Location goals post graduation- somewhat ambivalent for the right role, bonus points for somewhere with an easy trip back to OKC
Misc- I have about $100k saved up for tuition etc
Schools
Tuck: I think this is the best culture fit for me and I love the Revers Center. I think I'd have the most fun here inside and outside of the classroom, and i like all of the current and admitted students i have met. I worry about the size of the network and how about 1/2 of the class ends up in NYC or Boston (dont think id hate boston but def dont want nyc). The scholarship offered is obviously nice.
Fuqua: I liked Fuqua less after I visited and interviewed. It is absolutely nothing against the students or school, it was just far too similar to my UG (I ran into like 6 people I knew) and I am hoping for something new with the MBA. Strong energy community + a bigger network, but just not sure about the fit. As with Tuck, the money is also very nice.
Kellogg: Kellogg was my reach when I was applying because I love the NW brand and the global hub is incredible. Additionally, Kellogg is a step ahead of Tuck/Fuqua in the rankings. That being said, my sense from the students ive talked to is that the energy community isn't very active. The diversity of opportunity at kellogg seems it would be larger (in case I chose to come off of energy after i enroll), both functionally and geographically, thanks to reputation, size and location in the midwest. Chicago has a nice little hub of some pretty cool energy companies, although I feel I could work my way into those companies from Tuck or Fuqua. I'd be paying full sticker price for Kellogg.
I feel very fortunate to be in this position. I would love whatever insights you guys have to share!

Hello toughcall10
Yes you are fortunate to be in that position, congrats
Don't see a reason why you provided south vs. north cultural clash and background, it was enough how you described your experience and evaluation of schools from your perspective
Obviously, Fuqua is only school from South here, but even without that info, I would rule them out based on your description.
That comes to Tuck vs. Kellogg.
If difference in investment is not too much for you, I would go to Kellogg.
I don't doubt that Tuck might do the trick, but here is the insight from Renewable industry :

I can see only Kellogg in top 10 in renewable and clean tech.
My vote goes to Kellogg.
Good Luck with decision
