Just got admitted and I'm pumped but now the money reality is dawning on me. I'm interested in MBB and tech and likely want to move back to the East Coast after school. I got a full ride to Haas but nothing from Kellogg. Which would people pick in a scenario like that?
This sounds crazy but some advice that was given to me was to first ignore the money and think about which school you would really love to go to most without money as a factor. Then if you truly can’t decide between the two as in you love both equally, THEN let the money be a deciding factor.
Basically only let a scholarship be the deciding factor if all other things are equal in your mind.
The reason for this is because most people go into debt for bschool. Most people also are able to pay off that debt within 5 years. In most cases, you should not struggle to pay off mba debt and attending a program you truly love is priceless. Of course if you love both programs and would be equally happy at both I would definitely take the money.
