Which B-School offer to take?

I'm in at Ohio State's SMF, Duke and Wake. Ohio is offering about 20k in scholly and a nomination for a university fellowship. Wake has offered 5k, but I asked them to reconsider my offer and they are going to get back to me in the next few days and I don't know from Duke (assuming 0 since I didn't hear during the call from admissions). Which would most people take, I'm leaning toward Duke, but OSU is definitely in the running. I'm supposed to hear back from Nova in the next few days and Feb 1 from UVA.

Did you apply to Villanova's fellowship program? I assume it is similar to the one at OSU (reduces tuition by half and pays a $6,555 stipend). I got into Villanova and am waiting to hear back regarding the fellowship. Good luck with your applications!

 

Duke, hands down...even without scholarship...FWIW, the total cost at Fuqua is less than $110k. Strongest brand of the three schools you're in at. If you get in to Darden, then I'd consider that as well. Between those two, I'd make the decision based on personal fit.

I think he is talking about MSF programs, not MBAs.

Yes I'm referring to MSFs and Masters in Management.

 

I would say Duke if you're heading to IB. From what I've read, Duke would place higher than any other schools listed, but it also depends on whether you can afford the time at Duke and still come out in a strong point, financially speaking.
