Congratulations on your admits! Both Anderson and Marshall are excellent choices, and your decision should align with your specific career goals and preferences. Consider the following factors:

1. Recruiting: Compare recruiting opportunities in your target industries. Connect with current students and alumni to assess career services support.

2. Career Switch: Evaluate each program's strength for your transition into business development or product management in tech/pharma/entertainment.

3. Alumni Network: Check the strength and East Asia connections of the alumni networks. Connect with alumni for insights.

4. Curriculum: Compare curriculum structures, electives, and experiential learning opportunities. Look for alignment with your career goals.

Given your finance background and desire to transition into business development or product management, weigh the resources and networks each school offers in these areas.

Lastly, seek advice from current students and alumni. Their perspectives can provide valuable insights into the day-to-day experiences, networking opportunities, and the overall value of the MBA programs.

Make the choice that aligns best with your career goals and personal preferences. Good luck!

We do help people negotiate the scholarships and I hope you are aware that the standard process may not be the best approach to maximize outcome.

Understanding which schools will be better into the industry you are looking for is also important. While both are in LA the employability varies in both schools.

Curriculum is more or less similar but if there are some unique options offered at one school that are not available at the other- unlikely but still- that may not be as enticing a choice because there are other ways you can get those requirements met (Online education is free on coursera)

Regarding the network across the borders- know the semester exchange programs offered at both. That is an indicator of their partnerships and a few other things that will help with the alumni network.

But first things first, negotiate with them. I am happy to help, feel free to reach out

Best,
