I am admitted to the full-time MBA program at Cornell, Goizueta, and Gtech Scheller.

Goizueta and Scheller have also offered 50% scholarship.

I am planning to build a successful company. Any thoughts on which B school will be suitable to raise funds and make valuable connections?

Cornell is your best bet. Connections and fundraising are about powerful alumni, and Cornell leads here among the schools you listed.

Goizueta and Scheller being in Atlanta can help you a lot in terms of living expenses and networking for jobs, Atlanta is a fast growing tech hub, Georgia Tech is right next door to a lot of them, Cornell has a different benefit mainly that it’s Ivy League and you’ll have companies visiting you on Campus but it will be expensive especially Tuition and living expenses

Scheller has amazing connections to the VC / angel investor community in Atlanta, as well as a robust tradition of startup support given that the university is primarily a tech school.

I earned my MBA there and loved it, it transformed my life. The GT alumni community is also incredibly supportive. I have an undergrad degree from an Ivy and I’ve found the GT community to be more supportive than my undergrad community.

Congrats! Also looking at applying to Goizueta & Scheller

Planning to build a successful company to what end: growth, acquisition, etc.? That will matter for fundraising intent.

All companies plan to be successful, so I think the question will be which school can help you differentiate based on their profile and student profiles for supporting / launching of startups, and entrepreneurship classes that draw likeminded people. Valuable connections are a given.

I'd probably do Cornell. But if the winter there will make you miserable pick one of the others.
