Last thing to consider is that I'm married. I'm sure Austin would offer many more job opportunities for my wife.


Well, this might be the clincher. Does the wife have a preference?

She'd be fine with either. Of course Austin would be better for her job wise, but her family lives on the east coast so she'd be within driving distance of her parents and others at Darden which she would like.

Mccombs would be mostly Oil and Gas consulting , whereas Darden would be more of general management consulting. Also Darden has a pretty heavy workload due to the case based teaching method. Location preferences and post MBA industry might help you to make the choice. Also both are top 20 schools , so you can't go wrong completely with any of these schools. Take money and post MBA job into consideration while making the decision. Hope this helps..

McCombs is a great school.. Plus the scholarship would look good on the resume and being free from debt part is also really enticing... And you can play the "I picked McCombs because Austin would provide better job ops for you and your happiness is what makes me happy" card.. :P No points for guessing which school I voted for.

Dude you have a stellar GMAT score and you will kick ass even at Darden. So you have very good chance of getting your dream job from Darden. Money wont matter in 10 years time(all the more since you have savings). The only thing to consider is are you ready to battle it out at Darden(due to tougher curriculum and competition) or you would rather breeze through MBA courses. Its all about your commitment to MBA.

I might do Darden if the money isn't a huge factor
