Congrats on your admits!

Management consulting is tricky. McDonough would give you the best chance but it is only a chance.... and I feel may not be a guarantee vs a scholarship.

Gnpth, can you comment on the consulting recruiting at McDonough?

Hi,

Happy to Help. I am not sure about Strategy and Ops Consulting at Broad and Simon. But at MSB, you will get a chance to interview EY(they recruit for Supply Chain Roles). Also, since your GMAT score is 720, you might get a chance at BCG and Bain. But again, it is just a chance!. There is also a boom in clean energy recruiting at MSB.

I don't know how I can justify a full-ride vs. chances to interview at big firms. You can negotiate scholarships at MSB since you have scholarships from the other two schools. You might get lucky with a scholarship at MSB. Keep in mind you might not get 40K/Year, but you might get 10 to 20K/Year.

Are you planning to apply to other schools that focus more on supply chain and Ops in R2?

Congrats kgattem

As operation and supply chain pro, I would go directly with Broad as it is best schools in the field with the biggest faculty in SCM and best curriculum as well. Also, the free ride is big plus to you.

Hi Mo2men

MSU is not a STEM MBA. This is a major area of concern for me

I know it is bit of dilemma but I may take this opportunity as I like free ride. Again it is me. Other posters presented case for other schools. If you like MCD then you can try to approach them to give you something. I think bb has posted something regarding this issue. But Borad will help you in terms of supply chain and operations. I highly doubt strategy consulting.
