Kelley ($$) vs. Foster vs. McCombs (WL): Help Me Decide for Tech
[#permalink]
08 Apr 2019, 13:13
Been fortunate enough to be accepted to Foster, Kelley, and Owen (and waitlisted at McCombs), and I'm torn between Kelley and Foster. Total cost difference between the two is under $20k.
My background is in tech (6 yrs at a FAANG) and I'm looking to stay in tech. Because of this, I'm thinking Foster presents the most long-term advantages, but I'm quite taken with the culture at Kelley (but I am very concerned that the tech opportunities will not be as available as they will be with Foster). I also like McCombs, but I really doubt I have the energy I'd need to retake GMAT or otherwise "improve my candidacy" at this point, so I'm of the opinion that getting off the waitlist is a longshot.
I'll need to be depositing in the next few weeks and I think I know the answer, but I appreciate all of the opinions I can get as a sort of "gut-check".
