I have been accepted to the EMBA program of NYU Stern and Duke Fuqua with scholarship from both. I am awaiting decision from UCLA Anderson and Kellogg Miami. I expect to have the decision first week of January. I currently work in Information Technology in healthcare area. And my goal is work in the healthcare industry as a high level executive. I selected those programs due to once a month residency. Duke requires zoom class every other Saturday in addition to the once a month residency.
In any case, Stern and Anderson would practically be zero out of pocket. Duke would end up costing me $40K and if admitted Kellogg would cost me $70K. Provided I am admitted on all, would it make sense to attend Kellogg or pick another program. $70K is not a lot of money (if looking on a long-term) but does the M7 carry so much weight over Stern or Anderson and benefit me on a long-term. Kellogg and Anderson would require me to fly once a month. Duke and Stern would be within driving distance.
I have talked with alums and current student from all programs and everyone talks heavily about their program (who wouldn't). I really liked the Healthcare Leadership certificate with Kellogg and Duke. In the mean-time I like couple of faculty members from Stern and have followed them a lot. I am in dilemma on which college to select. Any suggestions to what I should be considering?
Update: Anderson is a ding. One less option to consider. And I am heavily leaning towards Stern due to the proximity and no cost.
