a nice try for Chicago to increase the yield rate, but i dont think 80k scholarship can attract people with H/S/W offers. i heard that H and S are very generous in offering $$. and W appears to be a more well-rounded finance school than Chicago. MBA is about long-term investment, rather than short term $$. Go to the best school that one can get in, and this is the game rule. -- by 会员 ztztzt (2009/12/16 23:20:36)
Obviously you know this or you wouldn't have applied, but Booth is a wonderful school. You should certainly only go to 'the best school that one can get in', but what 'best school is' is something only you can know. I know people who turned down Wharton + scholarship for Booth. Knowing what I know now, I would also have chosen to go to my alma mater, Chicago Booth, over H/S. It is just a better fit for me.
Exactly because it's a long-term investment, you need to do what makes you happy, rather than follow the 'rules' that others have set up. I live my own life, not theirs.  You're still on the waitlist. That's a decision not to admit you now, but as you mentioned it's also a decision that you're good enough to reconsider later. Don't lose hope! Jason |
