Hi,

I'm an Indian female applicant and so far I've gotten four admits -
1) Smeal - no scholarship
2) Purdue - 5k
3) Foster - no scholarship
4) Urbana Champaign - 12k /year

I have also appeared for interviews with Maryland Smith and Kelley. Their results will be out by March end. But I have to let Urbana Champaign and foster know my decision before March 1.

I am interested in pursuing management consulting and would be targeting firms such as Deloitte, Microsoft post graduation.

I am a little worried about the internship and placement opportunities for international students in the above schools. I feel torn between the opportunities that Seattle would provide and the scholarship that Urbana Champaign is providing which would really take the worry off finances.

Please advice on which school I should go to?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Snigdha

Congratulations on getting the four admits. When it comes to your post-mba goal, all schools have good demographics in the number of students getting into consulting post mba. Seattle will give you better opportunities when compared to Urbana-Champaign, but the cost of living in Washington is very high. I do not think the 12k scholarship at UIUC will take your worry off finances , but the scholarship cannot be overlooked. You should talk to alumni of both schools to get a better idea and then make a decision. In my opinion you should go with UIUC. If you get an admit from Smith or Kelley, i think you will have better opportunities at both these schools when compared to UIUC or Foster.

Good Luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
