Got into Yale SOM(no money), UNC (Fellowship + Full Ride) and McDonough ($100K), and BU (Full Ride)
An international student from China with bachelor degree of accounting. Have been working in commercial bank for 7 years. Current plan after MBA would be finance industry in east coast or Chicago.
Some concerns about the three options:
1. If choose SOM, will have to get a loan about $150K, quite a burden.
2. Considering the uncertainty of the U.S. visa situation, might have to look for jobs out of U.S. In this case, the school's international reputation will play an important role.
3. It would be less expensive to go to McDonough, wonder if the school is strong in finance . Heard there are not many job opportunities for international students in D.C. (not sure if that's true). Also if need to look for jobs in other countries or go back to China, the brand might not be as helpful as Yale.
4. UNC Provides the best package. However, have concerns about the job opportunities for international students and again the brand's international reputation.
Hope to get some suggestions from you guys.
Thanks!

Hello gtermba ..... welcome to the community.
From the international brand value perspective, Yale is way ahead than the others you have mentioned.

Yale SOM's brand power in China is immense. As an international student who speaks Mandarin fluently, I felt like if I wanted to, I could easily get a solid post-MBA job in China if I wanted to. I've also had recruiters / headhunters come to me with opportunities to interview with buy side and top tech firms in China - I was pretty blown away to be honest, since I never initiated any of these conversations.
I mention this because a plan B would serve you as well since the USCIS's tightening on visa policies have really gotten companies to clamp down on their international hiring. Some of these jobs in China or HK (if you're open to that) will still be around US pay-grade, if not better in some cases.
I think you will be served best reaching out to the Greater China Club and talk to some of the current students or alumni who recruited for finance roles in the east coast. I can't speak much to it since I was focused on finding a tech gig in the bay area.
