i would choose Fordham anytime anyday

Why? Is DePaul that bad? Fordham is way too expensive and no assurance if that investment would pay off.

I wouldn't say that DePaul is *bad* per se; it's just that the average salaries of graduates tend to be lower than Fordham alum.

However, given their status in the rankings (or lack thereof), I see it more as a choice between Chicago and New York. Each city has a different cost/benefit mix, and some are drawn to one where some are drawn to the other. NYC might have more, higher-paying jobs after you graduate, but the cost of living there is higher too.

The funding at DePaul is pretty good. Whereas Fordham hasn't confirmed anything? What should I do in this case? and what is the average Gmat for DePaul? And is well reputed?

Businessweek says that the average GMAT at Depaul is 622. You can always ask Fordham directly, maybe even tell them about Depaul's offer, and if they are really interested in you as a candidate, then they may offer you something.

They are offering aid too. But compared DePaul it is less. In fact DePaul has an option to cover almost whole tuition. So what do you think is better? And is DePaul MBA course well reputed?

Refer to my reply from August 6th. I really don't think that either school is clearly "better," but each has a different cost/benefit mix.

So in terms of quality education, faculty and environment? You would rate them equal?

Please revert.

From my perspective at least, it just comes down to New York vs. Chicago. If one city appealed to me over the other, then I'd go with that one.
