Notes:

No scholarship at Fuqua. Consulting outcomes between Tepper and Johnson in my situation seemed like a wash. Not interested in banking. Prefer to live in a city instead of rural. Very excited for Pittsburgh!

Location: Washington DC
Notes:

Decision was between Tepper and Johnson. Of the 3 I got scholarships Tepper felt like the best balance of risk/reward.
Consulting stats super close. Indifferent about NYC so like the geographic spread (Johnson heavy NYC). Tepper MCC looks great. Lower COL during MBA will be nice too.

UNC and Tepper both had very pleasant app&admit experiences.
