Accept Half/Full or Reapply?

I have put this post together: https://gmatclub.com/forum/value-of-a-t ... 13365.html you may have seen it.

However, situations are different for diff groups and should be called out - e.g. international applicants who may have a higher risk of missing out on ability to get a job or H1B, in that case i feel a scholarship is preferrable. At the same time I have seen international applicants argue that they need all the help they can get from the school's career services and recruiting machine so they go to the highest-ranked program and going to Ross at retail while bypassing McCombs or Foster with a 50-100% scholarship.

Also for some it is much more than just a degree or a step in the progression towards a goal, an MBA is a mini-goal in itself and some won't settle for anything but the best, undeterred by a $150K, in which ase, you can always replace $150K later but you won't be able to get another degree. On the flip side, if you read GMAT Club reviews of the business school experience, you will notice one stark pattern among all schools (HBS and Stanford included) - people are disappointed with their classmates. In part i feel it is because we expect everyone to be better than us or we don't take the time to get to know them or their talents but whatever the reason, the outcome is the same - there are regrets in whatever school you attend and a bit portion of the outcome and value of the MBA depends on your own efforts and inputs. As someone said on GMAT Club over 10 years ago now - if one is a bad driver, getting a ferrari is hardly going to make their driving better, and perhaps the opposite.

Happy Saturday everybody
