I’ve been accepted on a full scholarship to Fordham for an MBA and no scholarship to Dartmouth. I want to move into MBB / Big 4 as a consultant although I’m still considering IB as well. If I’m top of the class would I still be realistically able to achieve these goals at Fordham or should I just take the hit financially and pick the higher ranked?

The simple answer is that you should accept the offer from Dartmouth. Dartmouth hold significant weight about MBB & Bulge Bracket banks. You will have a significant career ROI from Tuck. I recommend you reach out to one of the consulting or IB MBA1's on campus before accepting the offer.
