Chicago Booth($) vs Michigan Ross($$$$);UofM undergrad

I think your alma mater always remains part of the conversation. However, after 5-10 years it becomes more of a whisper and your performance is the main topic. I too considered doubling down at my undergrad school for my MBA too (ultimately decided not to apply there), and a current student told me that I didn't need to go there for my MBA in order to tap into their MBA network. I was part of the larger university network. He suggested I go elsewhere for my MBA.

Ross is a great school, but there is something to be said for getting out of your comfort zone and trying something new. While you may be giving up the Consortium network, I think that it can be compensated with networks through NBMBAA and other diversity avenues. I did not apply to any Consortium schools but I don't feel as though I'm truly going to miss something that I couldn't get from other avenues. In fact I think that going to Booth will open more opportunities than the Consortium network. I'm sure you saw the Bain Pre-MBA Program announcement. Did you notice that it is only open to incoming students from Booth, CBS, HBS, Kellogg, Sloan, Stanford, Tuck, and Wharton? Although your interests are in another field, I imagine this is not an isolated occurrence.
In terms of the money you'd give up, think of it as taking a big bet on yourself. You will likely be able to repay your loans within a few years of graduation. And even with full-tuition at Ross you're still likely not going to be 100% debt free. Also remember that 1st year money does not necessarily equal 2nd year money. There are fellowships/scholarships that can come your way in the 2nd year that you don't even know about at this point.

As most people will say, you really can't go wrong with either decision and both schools have a compelling case for you to accept the offer. Just wanted to offer some perspective on the Booth option. Congrats on your admits and receiving scholarship money from both schools.
