Accepted to multiple schools in R1 including Dartmouth, UCLA, Cornell and Kellogg. Other than Kellogg MBAi, rest are traditional 2Y programs.
Offered near full ride at Cornell vs. <20K at Kellogg.
Post mba plan is to work as an entrepreneur in tech (already at big tech).
Which school should i choose? Is MBAi prestigious enough vs. Cornell's ivy tag?
Thanks in advance
Posted from my mobile device MechieLauncher - Congratulations on your admits!
When you say entrepreneur, you mean, you want to start your own tech venture/company/product?
(some folks mean VC and being a consultant to startup founders so I wanted to clarify)
Primarily the question is what you are looking for in the MBA. What will it give you what you don't have today?
Is it a network access? Credibility? Recruiting future coworkers? Funding access? etc?
If you are planning to start your own company, I always recommend taking the lower cost of an MBA program to avoid incurring debt right before you are about to go unemployed, though starting your own business would help you save time on all the crazy recruiting sessions.
Sorry, probably a bit too many unknowns right now for me to give a better suggestion. I can add that Kellogg is an awesome program if you are planning to stay in Product Management/Marketing. Johnson is heavy finance and consulting. I don't know a whole lot about the McCormick school and how well it places but that's going back to the goal of what entreneur actually means. Once I know that answer, ahppy to dive in more.
