Anderson or Darden?

by MBAreapplicant84 » Sat Mar 29, 2014 5:07 pm
Hi Jon,

I have always respected you opinion on the admissions process, essays, etc. I have a little dilemma, albeit a good dilemma. I have recently been accepted to Anderson, Darden, and Tepper. I received about a quarter tuition scholarship to Anderson, nothing at the other two schools. There are aspects of each program that I really like and it's definitely making it hard to decide.

Currently I am working in operations at Goldman Sachs. I am looking to transition to an operations management or product management role at a tech company like Google, Apple, or Amazon. I would definitely like to end up on the west coast after school.

Any thoughts or recommendation? I am leaning towards Anderson or Darden.

Thanks,
MBAreapplicant84

Now THAT is a good dilemma to have! Congratulations dude!

Let's say that from a prestige perspective, they are pretty much on the same level. Darden is a bit better for finance (which you are aware of). There is really no way you can make a wrong choice. And if you have not yet, a visit would be totally in order.
