How does NYC/Boston PE placement from Tuck compare to Booth/Kellogg (w/ pre-mba PE exp.)? I plan to apply to all 3 but plan to live in NYC/Bos post-mba and, despite the rankings, would prefer to go to Tuck if I am lucky enough to get into 2-3 of these schools

Places phenomenally. I know of several Tuck guys at the best Boston PE firms (Audax, etc.). If east coast is the plan, take Tuck all day. Excellent school with a powerhouse network. Probably should be top 5 in rankings but doesn’t get credit because of its small size.

EY1 - yes. More competitive, for sure. If you got into Tuck, you’ll more than likely get into Stern. Tuck is also weirdly hard to get into other top 10 programs because they don’t solely look at your raw stats. They’re ALL about cultural fit. It attracts a die hard following of folks who want to study in bucolic New England so if you aren’t of that ilk, it’s probably not for you.

Boston seems to have a decent number of Tuck people at LMM shops. NYC - not as clear and Booth / Kellogg might have an edge there.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
