T15 is possible. You’ll need some help with app execution based on this blurb

MIT would be difficult, other M7/T10s possible.

Possible but don’t list ethnicity and gender on your app. Don’t take chances.

NYU and Duke a bit more likely thank the others

Unlikely

Would say you’re competitive to get money for schools like Rochester Simon, Boston college, and perhaps Ohio state considering race.

I honestly said No. He wrapped up the call and asked if I know anyone with audit experience to refer?????

I need help making up my mind on where to attend.

So I have two offers on the table : Tuck vs Yale SOM. I am getting 40k scholarship from Tuck and nothing from Yale.

I'm planning on going into consulting afterwards and am not sure what school to attend. I know Tuck's group oriented teaching is slightly more geared towards consulting.

What has been making me hesitate is the global presence of what Yale has in its name.

Would you say Yale has almost equal chance of getting into MBB as Tuck?

If I am able to get a 332+ GRE and have thus far only been able to get a 700 GMAT do you think that score is good enough to have on reserve for MBB/IB recruiting during my MBA? I believe a 700 is still above 90th percentile.
