HELP!! Admit to five schools

by hopeless99 » Fri Jan 10, 2014 8:26 am
Help!
I'm an international student, seeking to work in US tech companies post-MBA.
I got admitted to:
Yale, UNC, NYU, DUKE, Tuck.

UNC full ride. the rest I will have to take out loans to cover tuition and living.
(160K-180K, 190K for NYU)

should I go with the full ride? Any opinion will help

Congrats!!! Those are all amazing schools.Taking the scholarship $$$ would be beneficial, but
I think the best option would be to attend the school that CAN definitely get you the job that you would want. I am surprised that you have not applied to any schools in CA, they have great connections with the tech industry. Getting back to the point, go to each schools website and view their employment statistics. You will be able to see the industries and the types of jobs their MBA candidates go into after business school. I know for a fact that you can filter the industry for UNC's employment statistics. I hope that helps...either way you are set for greatness. B-)

Congratulations on making it to 5 schools. All of these are really good. You can go with any one of them. UNC is a good option to opt. But don't go for schools according to scholarships offered. Going by your post-mba plans, none of these schools have tech industry at the top employers. I would prefer Yale out of these 5. Job stats for Yale show better placement in Tech firms followed by Duke and UNC. Prioritize accordingly. Good Luck!

Dude, out of the problems that I've seen people have over the years on these forums, you easily have the least problematic problem EVER!!!

Tuck is easily the most prestigious school on the list, and my advice is usually "go to the best school you get into." so there you go...


:)

Let us know what you decide and why?

and if you want to post your thoughts and considerations in the meanwhile, it always helps to think things through...

Best,
JF

Wow - your username and the problem you're stating are quite at odds! Congratulations buddy!

The money is great but this is an investment no matter how you slice and dice it so don't let the full ride sway you too much. It's nice but shouldn't be the decision driver. I know - it's $150-200K - you're probably thinking how can it NOT be a decision factor? I understand but make the best decision and then worry about logistics.

I think there are situations when going with the best isn't always the right choice but in your case Tuck is not only the best by a wide margin, but it also enables your goals (well). But Tuck is a really different experience from NYU, for example.

So let us know what you're thinking through - we're happy to help you through the decision process. This is a great problem to have!
