Got the phone call and the application changed from 'waitlist' into 'admit'.

It is extremely hard to make a decision, but I think I will go Chicago.

alrite, find the second one with the same story as mine...does Chicago really like to put ppl on the w-list first and then release them?

cong anyway!

Again big congrats here!

Darden is a very good school as i have visited both Chicago and Darden in my interviews. and here is my two cents:

Chicago: great school, great academics, great career future, great people, but poor surroundings and cold weather. i went there in Nov and it is just the start of winter from nov to may.

Darden: all very good, the facility is fantastic and you cannot find another place that has such great environment and mild weather. (i lived in Virginia for several months)

however, i like the chicago style more than darden, coz for the former, it is down to earth and engaging, and the latter, it is a bit too elegant that conveys an air of arrogance.

for your thoughts

Thanks for your information!

No doubt, I love Chicago more, even with the unpleasant weather.

For me, the dilemma is whether it is worthy to give up Darden's full-tuition scholarship + $1000 deposit and take $100,000 loan for Chicago....

Congradulations and welcome to Chicago GSB.

From my experience in Chicago GSB, I never regretted choosing it and if I could have another chance to choose, I would defenitely choose Chicago again. Before you coming here, you can never imagin how good this school is. The modern building, the super supportive faculty, especially the career service, the beautiful city, the helpful almni, let along its reputation and strong academic education.

Money is not a problem. You can get loan without a co-signer very easily. You will realize the scholarship won't make a difference after you find your dream job, which is not unrealistic and has been proved years after years here.

As to the weather, it could be a good thing. Many students here went skiing every weekend. To be honest, during the coldest days of first year, you will be busy with recruiting and the cold weather can just calm you down and focus on your interview preparation.

I can't say you wouldn't regret if you missed other schools, but I can assure you won't regret if you choose GSB.
