UVA MS Commerce in. Wait for more?

Hi everyone, I got into UVA's ms commerce last November and I gave the first deposit.

Yesterday I got rejected by MIT after an interview. Director of Georgetown's MS Economics told me that he recommended my profile to the AO. It's a new program. I probably won't go.

I'm waiting for NYU MA Econ (won't go), Columbia MA Econ, and Yale Econ. Maybe some people wonder why I applied for so many econ programs. I like the subject, and in terms of consulting recruiting I don't think the major matters that much.

I'm thinking if I could settle on UVA and start moving my stuff to Charlottesville, or wait for Columbia/Yale to give me a decision (Mid/Late-March)

I think UVA is a brand that is strong enough, but my parents and my friends all tell me to go for bigger names.

If my career goal is MBB/OW/A&M/Deloitte S&O (international student), will UVA be a good platform? I know it's hard, but I work hard too.

Any alumni from the programs above? TNA?

Thank you all.
