Need suggestion, Have admit from Kelley Direct Online MBA program and Duke's Fuqua School of Business, Weekend Executive MBA program starting in Fall-2020. Both schools have offered same amount of scholarship.
I am in high -tech company in sales and marketing division in Bay area and post - MBA I want to grow further in product marketing/product management in another high-tech/cloud company in bay area. Not looking to change industry. Kelley is a marketing machine , very well known for marketing and Duke has a brand name. I am in dilemma coz I am not sure is Duke is as good as Kelley in marketing? What is Duke is known for, looking at the courses seems they are known for leadership and no so much for marketing. Am I thinking to shallow here?
To attend Duke it would be another $70k more than attending Kelley. Duke is a Top-10 school that brings in a whole different level of opportunities. I loved Fuqua, but am afraid of the financial burden / stresses of going that route. Is it okay to turn down Fuqua?
Also, any experience if any of these colleges accept deferrals? or asking for more scholarship to Fuqua?
Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions!

You really can't compare Duke and Kelley. Kelley's MBA is seeing as a cash cow to overcharge in'tl students while Duke is a solid T10/T15 program w/ a super strong alumni base.
You mentioned Kelley is a marketing machine, I feel the school is better at selling itself than selling its students! It's brand at the MBA level is 1) relatively easy to get into, 2) expensive (at least for the full time int'l students), 3) all int'l students who can't get in elsewhere.
Duke is strong at all the traditional MBA careers, banking/consulting and has a pretty strong alumni base. I understand Kelley is more expensive, but the two are just not comparable.

Very very different situations.
You said you got the same scholarship ... meaning, your cost was discounted by the same amount at both schools ... or ... your net price at both schools is the same?
Indiana is consistently bouncing around from the high teens to the mid twenties ... Duke is consistently in the low teens and occasionally breaks into the top 10.
If money is not a concern, Duke is the answer.
If time and cost of travel is not a concern, Duke is the answer.
If having better access to career services, Duke is the answer.
If adding an MBA from a respected school people have heard of for a little money as possible, Indiana is the answer.
If the question is anything else, the answer is either "it depends" or "I don't know".
