So I was accepted at Babson (no scholarships or aid) for a 2 year MBA in round 3. I have an admit from Pepperdine (no aid/scholarships) for the 2 year MBA but I have deferred my admission to next year. Should I go ahead and join Babson (I'd be taking a huge loan) or join Pepperdine next year after I've saved up enough to cut down on my loan amount? Which would give me a better ROI?
My background:
GPA 3.2, B.A Economics + a Masters in Mass Communication
GMAT 590
9.5 years experience in Communications, Branding, etc
Indian Citizen (therefore visa may be a problem)
Goal: move to Marketing Management/Strategy
When I calculated the total costs (including expenses) it's about 160,000 for Babson (Tuition + Expense = 112,672 + 50,000) vs around 140,000 for Pepperdine.

Quick question - have you tried retaking the GMAT? Or is it not an option to retake?
I am pretty confident you can get 50% scholarship at both of those programs with a 700+ score.

I got a 590 on my second try - not that its an achievement but I did study on my own without the help of a prep company/tutor (on hindsight that was a bad idea).
Plan B is to sign up with a Prep company and attempt again, but by then I'd have about 10.5 years experience and be in my mid thirties which may work against me.
