I would go Fuqua and network like crazy in the NE

like

Duke healthcare is top notch and you have unc there as well. I don’t see a large enough difference between Yale and Fuqua to turn down a scholarship.

like

Only plus to Yale is it may be easier to recruit to nyc mbb offices where as Fuqua is predominately (but not 100%) southeast offices

like

If Yale gives you 10K more, I say go to Yale. You’ll be closer to your end goal location and considering both Yale & Fuqua are both tier 2 schools (non M7) you’ll probably fair better having Yale on your resume

like

Yale. It’s rising plus you can be in NYC every weekend if you wanted to. It’s just under 2 hour train so you can even go for a morning meeting or afternoon networking coffee during the week

Update: 20k at yale now...

Still say Fuqua.

Yale because of handsome Dan.
