Cornell Johnson ($) vs Vanderbilt Owen ($$$)

Hi All,

I've very fortunate to have been accepted to a few business schools with scholarships, but I am very stuck in my decision. My decision is currently between Cornell Johnson (small $) and Vanderbilt Owen ($$$, near full).

Background: White male, US citizen

My goal is to pivot to management consulting from a background in finance. I'm not MBB or bust, but I do understand there will be a difference in opportunities between the schools.

My main concern is landing a job after 2 years of not working in an unknown economy, especially when I have no prior experience in consulting. I have basically no savings, and am still in debt from undergrad.

If anyone has any insight, or even anecdotal experience that can be shared, it would be super helpful.

Thank you!
