ISB vs EMORY vs Georgetown vs Questrom

Question

Hi Guys,

I have got the below admits and want to make a good decision. Please guide me, any kind of suggestions are welcome.

1) Emory - 70k
2) Questrom - 80k 
3) ISB - No scholarship
4)Georgetown - No Scholarship ( would try to negotiate with school)
5 Marshall - Waiting for the result (wanted an opinion in case I get selected)
6) Tepper - Waitlisted ( wanted an opinion if at all I get an admit here)
7) Schulich - Admitted with no scholarship

I have been working with Oil and gas company for almost 4 years now. 
My Post MBA goals: To be really frank, I wanted to explore options once I am in business school. As per the information provided above Emory would be a good choice for the scholarship it provided. I am really not sure if consulting is something that I am completely inclined to. I want to explore career choices in Tech/product management/marketing. Sorry, I am a confused soul, would be extremely glad if someone can give me some insights which make it easier for me to choose the right path.
Note: 
1. I am inclined towards coming to the US for my education 
2. I want a school which is amazing for international students. 
3. Best job opportunities in multiple concentrations
** My top priority is Tepper, I know getting a conversion from the waitlist might be a difficult task but would like some suggestions on how I can make that possible.

I ended up getting accepted to both Goizueta and Tepper (ultimately staying in the west coast). I had never heard Schulich or Questrom before this post, which goes to show you how evident these schools are with big tech.

IMO. Both Tepper and Emory are equal, Emory being stronger in consulting and Tepper in Tech.

If you are thinking of staying in US, I would consider the 4 American schools. All things being equal, I would prefer Tepper & Emory over Georgetown for sure.

In my book, Emory with a scholarship would be my first choice. I think that’s an easy choice here. You can always reach out to abhimahna if you want to connect with a recent alum. He is pretty busy with work though 😊

Congrats  alwaysHP

You are not confused soul. You are doing your due diligence to choose the best fit.

You are almost there. I still find you are accept to a big school which I mean Emory. I believe the school is real deal in your case. Maybe is not tech hub like Tepper but It is still worth it in terms of marketing too . Being in big city like Atlanta is a plus.

Have you heard back from Tepper? If yes, how much is the scholarship?

Since you are not dead set on a specific career route, I'd recommend going with a program offering the highest amount of scholarship among Goizueta, Georgetown, and Tepper. While Questrom is a respected program, it is ranked far behind the other three, resulting in fewer recruitment opportunities, especially in consulting.

I did my undergrad at Georgia State University in Atlanta...and Emory is down the street from me. I recommend Emory...for its reputation and because of its Location. Goodluck
