Hello, choosing between 5 schools and not sure which one to pick.
Smith: Limited $
Rutgers: $$
Buffalo: Full Ride
Katz: No Scholarship
Krannert: $
About me: Domestic student (US naturalized citizen) with 7 years of Digital Marketing experience, the last 2 leading a subdivision.
Goal: Enter an F500 CPG as a Brand Marketer, preferably one based in the United States (as I've heard companies like Nestle, Henkel, and Unilever have limited growth opportunities unless working at HQ). Location agnostic, but would like to only work for a prestigious firm (Hershey, General Mills, ConAgra, Heinz, Colgate, Mars, P&G, J&J, Kraft, Pepsi, CocaCola, InBev, MillerCoors, etc). Willing to venture to as many conferences and diversity fairs on my own accord as possible.
Another note: I'm also waiting on Baruch, Cox and Haslam but I'm not sure if any of those programs are significantly better.

Hi and congratulations on your admits! You did a ton of work and applied to a bunch of schools!
Are any of these looking more attractive to you than others?
I think Buffalo is one for its full ride though I am completely unfamiliar with that school. Rutgers is second and I feel the others are somewhat out of consideration or am I missing something?

To be honest not really...they're all low ranked programs and I know I have an uphill battle in regards to obtaining a good role post degree. I'm just hoping that being domestic gives me some kind of an edge.
Since I'm an alma mater at Buffalo I'll give the low-down: It's a great school, but mitigates its lower ranking by admitting candidates with lower levels of work experience. My WE is far more tenured and qualified than the average for the school (which is 0-3 years) and their average salary is almost 1/2 my current. Recruiting is local to Buffalo companies except for Target (but they're recruiting is more Undergrad level like ETL...something I applied for almost 8 years ago).
I don't think any of these schools can really get me to my goals without significant LinkedIn harassing and attending diversity conferences but I could be mistaken. I prefer Buffalo since, if all things are the same in all these schools, I would love to go back to the region for 2 more years. I'm essentially trying to figure out if one school holds an advantage over another for Brand. Also have a hypothesis that most Brand companies don't really care too much about school and my experience would be seen as very valuable after attending diversity conferences but that's an expensive gamble. I'd love however to be the one to help my alma mater in getting into a company that's outside our sphere of influence and recruit back.
Rutgers/Baruch would be the most convenient options since I live in NYC but skeptical if either school has an advantage in recruiting. I know Rutgers does a lot in Pharma but I'm not interested in that industry tbh from a moral perspective.
