Hi everyone,
I got accepted to UNC (full tuition) , Ross ($20k) and Darden (no scholarship).
I am very confused on this decision as UNC full-ride is too tempting and I don't know if it is worth it to turn it down.
My interests are in Tech and Strategy Consulting (currently working at Deloitte).
Any advice or opinion would be very welcome.
Thanks beforehand!

Hi and congrats on your admits! I see most South American students going for the scholarships and so I am not going to fight you here. Most of your compatriots (sorry to generalize here) but that's the trend I see for Brazil, Peru, and perhaps now Chile, they choose the Full Ride instead of a better brand and I don't blame you. $150K is a lot of money.
1. Deloitte on your resume is awesome
2. Your experience will also help you convert/improve your chances at MBB's or worst case you will join Deloitte again which probably will double or triple your paycheck.
3. Highly recommend that you sign up for all of the consulting pre-MBA internships and try to score one or several: https://careers.bcg.com/bcg-unlock and https://www.mckinsey.com/careers/studen ... s/overview and https://www.bain.com/careers/meet-us/base/ - this is particularly good since it is only for Latino/Black applicants.

If you can score a pre-mba summer internship with an MBB, and you do OK, you are guaranteed a return offer for the summer internship next summer and basically the job 2 years later. Nobody cares which program you attend at that point.... If you don't... then you really need to work on your speaking, presentation, and engagement skills.
Congrats!

That's awesome bb , thanks for the advice, will be looking at the programs.
On the other, in what case would you recommend a higher mba brand over the scholarship (I am also looking into tech). Is there too much difference in opportunities with Ross and Darden? Also, I've been waitlisted in Kellogg and Yale, if by any chance I get out of the waitlist what would you recommend?
Thank you beforehand.
