I would go to Olin. Low COL, higher ranking, newly designed curriculum with global immersion before the start of fall term, higher average salaries. Possibility to get a STEM designated Masters along with the MBA, which would give you more chances to get a visa.

However, you will likely have to network to get your dream position given mid-west location. Not the biggest drawback.


Boston has a lower avg salary, is ranked substantially lower, high COL, but it has more brand recognition outside of the US compared to Olin.

hello everyone
i have been admitted to washu olin & boston questrom for 2019, i have received same amount of scholarship from both and i am unable to decide which one should i opt as olin is good in rankings and better in finance whereas boston is know by more recruiters and its location is suitable for finance sector.
i plan on to work in banking/ finance sector post MBA. i am an international candidate.
i am really looking for some serious advice.
thanks in advance

Congrats on admission in TOP universities. Both are good universities, however Olin ranked ahead of Questrom for the last 6 years FT rankings.
