Hello, everyone!
I have a difficult decision to make and I would greatly appreciate your input! Thank you very much in advance!
Admitted:
Vanderbilt Owen - ~Full-ride + Forté Fellowship
Georgetown McDonough - no $
Waitlisted:
Cornell Johnson
I am trying to decide between Vanderbilt (~Full-ride + Forté Fellowship) and Georgetown (no $), try to get off the Cornell Waitlist, or reapply next year.
About me:
Early 30's, European/U.S. Permanent Resident (by the time I matriculate), 1 Master Degree from an Ivy League, currently working in RE.
Originally, I was looking to get into Real Estate Investment Banking but considering my age, I am less risk-averse and I am open to more possibilities. I am interested in Finance, Strategy, Real Estate, and Marketing. In the very long-term, I am planning on running for a political office. For now, I am trying to get a solid business education because I don't have that background. I am not getting any sponsorships from family/ organizations, etc. I have savings which I will use for living but besides that I will have to take a loan to pay for my tuition. Also, I don't think this will be my last degree as I am considering a PhD or Executive Master's to further specialize. I will be happy living in Nashville or D.C. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Vanderbilt Pro’s:
Location – Nashville, TN (booming real estate)
~Full-tuition scholarship
Forté Fellowship (access to most employers + lifetime membership)
Beautiful campus
#23 Ranked B-school (U.S. News)
#15 Ranked National University
Opportunity to work with the Dean + other faculty closely
Don't have to retake GRE/GMAT
Less debt
Amazing lifestyle (happiest students)
Vanderbilt Con’s:
Smaller network
Southern culture
Not great placement in IB in NYC
Extra hustle for some opportunities
University very well-known in Europe
Slower pace
Georgetown Pro’s:
Location – Washington D.C.
Access to Politics, International Organizations, Embassies, Etc.
Bigger school + alumni network
Better university brand Internationally
Honorary Ivy
University very well-known in Western Europe
Better access to IB Opportunities
Better brand for my political aspirations
Better student clubs IMO
Georgetown Con’s:
No scholarship $$
Very expensive to live in D.C.
Debt for a very long time
Too many undergrads at b-school
Ranked #25 vs. Vanderbilt's #23
THANK YOU very much in advance!

Congratulations on your admits!
I would honestly vote for Owen. I know it is not quite on the East Coast but the Full Tuition Scholarship is hard to pass up esp since McDonough does not seem to have a strong IB placement track either.... most of your recruiting will be done on your own off-campus as neither program has an IB path/route. Makes Owen more attractive with a scholarship...
