Hi guys,
I am an engineer aiming to transition into the tech sector after graduating from my MBA.
So far I've applied and received an offer from HEC Paris and waiting for a reply from UCLA Anderson post interview which went really well.
HEC demands a deposit a month before admission for Anderson start rolling out.
My options are paying the hefty deposit either way to not miss my spot at HEC, but also feel like Anderson might have better job placements for tech later on especially with the 3 year OPT (can anyone confirm that?) even though HEC places higher in ranking.
Also, another concern is safety. I have seen on several accounts UCLA being mentioned as a bit unsafe, and I am worried especially that I am female and will be living alone.
Any input as to which might be a better choice if I get both? ( career placement wise into tech, safety and ease of living etc...)

Humble 2 cents: It really depends on where you want your long term career to be. Do you want to develop yourself mainly in the European continent, or you would like to breathe the 'free' air of murica?
UCLA is an excellent school with renown reputation. I might be too ignorant but I don't think people outside Europe know HEC that well, I had google the school to find out what exactly it is. Also, acceptance Rate is just a number, life is much more than a number or metric.
Hope you find the right answer for yourself, YOLO.

Hard to turn down HEC when you don't know that you have Anderson offer yet. If those are your only two schools I would pay the deposit for HEC now. If you do get the Anderson offer and decide you want to attend, then paying for HEC would just be a sunk cost.
