I was lucky enough to get admits from Goizueta ($$$$), Johnson ($$), Booth, Tuck, and Darden (last 3 w/o $). I know it’s unlikely given they aren’t peer schools, but is it worth trying to negotiate with Darden/Tuck/Booth for anything? Post-MBA goal is consulting.

All it takes is sending an email, so why not? Just be nice / respectful, i.e., “I’m excited to have been admitted and ‘x’ is my first choice but I was fortunate to be offered a scholarship at some of the other schools I applied to. The cost of attendance is a significant consideration, so I was hoping you could reconsider the decision to not extend any financial aid.”

I’d only do this with your actual 1st choice though. Kinda tacky to do it to multiple places.

Ha, that’s a you decision! What do you want to do and what are you prioritizing? For example, if you live in the South, want to stay there and just want to get into Consulting you could do a lot worse than going to Goizueta on a full scholarship…

Typically, higher ranked schools will give you more flexibility in options and geography but gotta figure out what you value first.

No downside to asking. Problem is Booth & Tuck are a cut above the others so aren’t pressured to offer money.

Take Booth and never look back

Booth

Try negotiating. Take booth because you can always pay back the loan but if cost matters to you take Goizueta. Truth is you can still get into consulting from Goizueta, especially if you’re looking at southern offices. That being said. Booth is the first choice

Goizueta full-ride? Got the same, but still waiting to hear back from others.

What is the obsession and appeal for MBB among MBA grads? Is it really that amazing - from afar it seems like it may be romanticized (maybe not the right word) among applicants. I know it’s way better than the work I do now, so I’m not knocking MBB at all. It’s super impressive. Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere
