So I find myself ruminating over the decision I must make for my full-time MBA:
TCU Neeley: Full ride + fees (44k/year) + stipend (5k/year)
Rice Jones: 36k/year scholarship (which leaves ~14k/year + the lack of a stipend...so almost 40k more of debt)
Thus the dilemma. It's also worth noting that no matter what, I'll need student loans for cost-of-living expenses each year. So...how much more is being able to say "I went to Rice" worth?
Thanks in advance for your insight and help with this difficult decision!

If you want to stay in Texas only a slight bump since TCU has great recruiters and is slowly rising in prestige. If you want to go outside of Texas Rice is worth it.

I do intend to keep my permanent residence in Texas and I'd like to be based out of here long-term, though I'll of course follow the opportunities. And what you say about TCU rising is actually one of the reasons it also appeals to me (being part of a growing school - #1 fastest rising by Forbes - as opposed to one already established). I suppose then my concern would be if staying in Texas, is Rice so much more of a bump - in terms of opening doors and starting salaries as a consultant - that the 40k would be negligable after a few years?
Maybe I'll just cut myself in half and go to both.
