USC's MSBA has a avg GPA of 3.74 and GMAT of 725, while Duke's MMS is much lower at only a 3.4 (or 3.5) and GMAT middle 80% of 650-740. I wanted to get into Consulting, but also wanted some solid quant skills to equip myself, careerwise. Where should I go?

Duke MMS will give you more flexibility than a MSBA. Also, Duke is likely a stronger brand in the consulting space than USC since Fuqua is consistently ranked higher than Marshall.
Take a look at the class profiles in terms of who your classmates would be and what careers they pursue post-MBA. I suspect there will be a lot more diversity in a 'general management' MMS program than in a quant-focused MSBA program. You might ask Duke if you can take some of the quant focused courses that are typically for the MSQM students.
Good luck (and go Duke!)
Susan, However I am wondering if most consulting firms like people from a quant background like the MSBA one? Just wondering, but I am leaning towards the MMS program.
