Cornell Dyson vs UMich Ross vs Washu Olin

Into marketing / entrepreneurship / social impact !! Hoping to pursue consulting in the future !! money is not the MOST important factor, i could afford to attend all of these schools

CURRENT MINDSET:
(ranked also from 1-3 in amount of financial aid given to me / biz school ranking from US news)

  • Cornell Dyson
    • smaller private school with lowest acceptance rate (~200 kids in c/o 2024)
    • Ivy League + amazing connections / alumni network generally
    • one of the big 3 consulting firms doesn't hire from Cornell, but they still send the same percentage of kids to a big 3 firm as UMich Ross // less consulting opportunities
    • vibe wh the current community the most
    • #2 in both cost and ranking

  • UMich Ross
    • bigger public school (~400 kids frosh year and then 100 transfer)
    • good connections / alumni network but mostly within ross
    • sends a lot of kids to the big 3 consulting firms !! (on par with UPenn Wharton) // have a lot of consulting centered clubs / events and the big 3 regularly visit the school
    • feel like i might get lost within the huge community / don't vibe wh the greek life vibe as much
    • #1 in ranking and #3 in cost (didn't give me too much financial aid)

  • WashU Olin
    • smaller private school (~150 kids in c/o 2024)
    • good connections and alumni network generally
    • also sends a lot of kids to the big 3 consulting firms !! (very similar to Ross) it also seems to have a very solid curriculum that supports consulting // I currently am a Dean's Scholar finalist and entrepreneurial scholar, so I will most likely be already at the top of my class
    • i like this location the least, but the people seem nice !!
    • #3 in ranking and #1 in cost (assuming I receive the full ride from being a Dean's Scholar)
