Hi everyone,
As I'm sure most of you can relate, I'm struggling with making my decision on where to attend. I've been accepted at the schools above. 25% scholarship at Goizueta, 70% at BU and nothing at Georgetown.
My background is largely entrepreneurial, and I have some experience in solar development as an entrepreneur. I'm looking to get my MBA to do renewable energy development, or if not directly solar development, work in a social enterprise role that relates to cleantech.
My dream would be to work for the World Bank, IMF, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, etc...
With all that said, I'm struggling with my decision. On one hand you have Georgetown. With its location it has great relationships with international development organizations such as the World Bank, IMF, etc... and I do love the program. It also would be the most expensive for me. On the other hand BU has a program that in the classroom is really tailor made to do clean energy development and they are also giving me the most money. However the school is more regional and I worry that a BU MBA won't play at some of the prestigious international organizations I have my eyes set on. Emory is also a really interesting choice, some money which is nice, a really solid social enterprise concentration and career support, although it's not a clean energy focus. However, I really get a good vibe from the place and I feel that a Goizueta MBA on my resume would carry a lot more weight throughout the entirety of my career than BU.
Given my situation, what does everyone else think?
Thanks in advance!
