High School Senior- College Decision
So this is an unprecedented year for admissions, and tonight wrapped up all my college decisions (note to any future applicants, do not talk about adding intellectual diversity to campus by being a southern white male conservative...). Please note that my goal is to work in either management consulting or IB out of undergrad. What do y’all rank my options/waitlist opportunities in order? Which options should I accept over Mendoza if they were to become available (besides Wharton obviously)?
Acceptances: Notre Dame guaranteed Mendoza, U Mich (Ross decision is still pending), W&L, Clemson Honors &Lyceum Program.
Waitlists: UPenn Wharton, Vanderbilt, Duke, Georgetown (McDonough), UVA, Wash U St. Louis (Olin).
Hi Uncle_Drew37, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Of the acceptances, Michigan for sure if you can get into Ross or if you're smart enough to handle engineering
Of the waitlist, Penn > everything else, and Duke is good but it's worth pointing out that Duke also has one of the most beautiful campuses in the world + good weather
Go Notre Dame unless you get into Ross. You will have most opportunities you could ever want and the alumni are great. Not a ND student/alum either, so I’m unbiased when it comes to this
Which waitlists would you take over ND? Obviously Wharton and Duke, but what about Vanderbilt, Georgetown, UVA, and Wash U?
I would take all but WashU from the waitlisted schools. However, it depends on your preferences. All of the schools are very different in terms of culture/location/program.
Update: I just got accepted to Duke last night off of the waitlist. Are there any advantages that ND holds over Duke? From everything I’ve gathered here, it is a no-brainer to go to Duke if pursuing MBB, IB, or PE.
Duke is a no-brainer
