I was admitted to Tuck and Kellogg with full scholarships, and to Harvard without one. I chose Tuck because I believed it gave me the best chance of landing my - at that time -dream job at McKinsey..and it worked out exactly as planned.

Looking back, I don’t regret choosing Tuck at all. I had the best time of my life there. What I do regret is going into consulting lol
