What? How is this even a question? Tuck is a phenomenal school and always top 10. Johnson doesn’t come close as far as prestige and branding is concerned.

Just checked - Tuck is #6 this year tied with HBS on usnews. There ya go. My friends and close colleagues went there and all are brilliant. It’s an excellent program.

Great schools but by far the 2 worst locations in the t15

Cornell is better for finance, tech/entrepreneurship. Tuck is better for general consulting, but Johnson does well in this domain today also. For financial consulting, specifically PE/M&A related consulting, I’d give the edge to Johnson. Also, Tuck had to bus in their professors who tech financial modeling for weekend classes

Ignoring rankings, Tuck has a spectacular reputation for its alumni network and good vibes on campus. No brainer!

Better admin, Johnson’s admin are just awful and overwhelmed by the ~10 different MBA programs they run.

Tuck actually cares about its alums unlike Johnson. Johnson barely has any alum events, whereas tuck’s alums are firmly pro-school & fiercely supportive.

Sure. Johnson will get you a job post-MBA. But It’s a miserable means to an end. Tuck will get you a career post-MBA & it’s a more holistic (fun) experience.

Don’t make a mistake by turning down a great program (Tuck) for a miserable meat grinder of a program (Johnson) with zero value post-job placement.

Tuck has better reputation and consistently ranks higher. It’s also the smallest class size out of all major MBA programs.

Tuck all day, 7 days a week. Johnson is perennially stuck at bottom of T15. It's great for IB, not so much for everything else, and has a weird "chip on shoulder" culture where the students don't seem that happy

Got ITA in Sep last year.
Applied for PR in November from US.
I got an email from IRCC in April, saying that the application has been approved, and will receive further notice on when I should send my passport for stamping.

But I still haven't received any updates on the next steps.

Anybody in the same boat?
Did anyone get the email asking to send the passport for stamping?
If yes, then can you share any steps you might have taken to get this.

Thanks in advance
