Into marketing / entrepreneurship / social impact !! Hoping to pursue consulting in the future !! money is not the MOST important factor, i could afford to attend all of these schools

CURRENT MINDSET:
(ranked also from 1-3 in amount of financial aid given to me / biz school ranking from US news)

Cornell Dyson

smaller private school with lowest acceptance rate (~200 kids in c/o 2024)

Ivy League + amazing connections / alumni network generally

one of the big 3 consulting firms doesn't hire from Cornell, but they still send the same percentage of kids to a big 3 firm as UMich Ross // less consulting opportunities

vibe wh the current community the most

#2 in both cost and ranking

UMich Ross

bigger public school (~400 kids frosh year and then 100 transfer)

good connections / alumni network but mostly within ross

sends a lot of kids to the big 3 consulting firms !! (on par with UPenn Wharton) // have a lot of consulting centered clubs / events and the big 3 regularly visit the school

feel like i might get lost within the huge community / don't vibe wh the greek life vibe as much

#1 in ranking and #3 in cost (didn't give me too much financial aid)

WashU Olin

smaller private school (~150 kids in c/o 2024)

good connections and alumni network generally

also sends a lot of kids to the big 3 consulting firms !! (very similar to Ross) it also seems to have a very solid curriculum that supports consulting // I currently am a Dean's Scholar finalist and entrepreneurial scholar, so I will most likely be already at the top of my class

i like this location the least, but the people seem nice !!

#3 in ranking and #1 in cost (assuming I receive the full ride from being a Dean's Scholar)
