Hi,
I am currently trying to decide between two schools. One is ranked roughly 30 positions higher than the other in most every poll but when factoring in the difference in program cost, interest once I ultimately back my loans, and the scholarship I have been offered - the higher ranked school will cost me approximately $100,000 more.
I have always heard "go to the best school you get into," but that is obviously a substantial amount of money and makes the decision that much harder. I would greatly appreciate any advice on whether that extra $100,000 is worthwhile for the more prestigious program.
For reference, both schools are top 50 programs and neither is top 15 - if that makes a difference.
Thank you!

Which schools are you referencing? Very tough to give advice without knowing.
