I am afraid this tread might be biased, but I will still present my dilemma.
I have been admitted to three schools: INSEAD, Copenhagen Business School and University of Florida (UF). INSEAD was my #1 school, and I was super-excited to be admitted. But UF has offered a 90% scholarship on tuition fees, resulting in the difference to be approx. EUR 65,000.
What to do? Is INSEAD worth the extra EUR 65,000 or will I do OK with an MBA from UF?
All replies are welcome.

Congrats and an enviable position to be in.
I admittedly dont know much about UF. However, I think to make your decision you have to weigh what it is that you want to do when you finish with your MBA. I believe as with most large state schools (I could be wrong in this case) that they place generally well within their region. I also think if the companies that you want to work for recruit on campus at the school you are going to, then you should have at least a decent shot of joining them post MBA.
With that being said though, INSEAD was your number one school. There are reasons for that. I am sure most of us on this thread have similar motivations for wanting to attend. I would still go to INSEAD unless there was a clear reason and advantage (besides money - this is a life long investment, spread out over the rest of your life the difference of 65k should be minimalized) to attending UF.
I dont know if that helps or not. I could also be way off here. Anyways just my .02

Guys, I understand that interviewers receive only a copy of our profile but not our essays. Am I right?
Thanks
Thanks
But it is still a tough decision. Thanks anyway for your point of view.
