Wow! Lots of admits and lots of diversity!
Congrats on your admits and scholarships! I would suggest focusing on Cornell vs. HKUST. Big question is while you are not planning to recruit after your MBA (awesome position to be in). where are you planning to not be recruiting? Are you planning to work on your own things in the US, HK, or elsewhere?
Assuming you don't live in the US, Cornell Tech MBA is STEM, which is pretty significant since it gives you 3 years in the US with a work permit. Mixing a startup with it requires some side engagement to keep your OPT valid which is pretty easy to do.
HKUST - do you speak mandarin or cantonese? If not, it is a consideration as to what you will be doing after graduation.
P.S. Babson has a very large proportion of international students. I don't believe it is healthy (by large I mean over 70%)

Hi Guys,
Reaching out as I need advice regarding my admits with the deposit deadline looming.
I have been admitted to the 1 year Cornell Tech MBA with $15K scholarship, Babson 1 year program with $45K scholarship and HKUST's MBA with ~$22K scholarship.
While entrepreneurship is something on my mind and I have chosen the programs I applied to accordingly, I would want to work immediately post MBA.
Cornell Tech's high tuition fees will put a significant debt, but I understand its also a notch above the other too.
Please provide your opinions.
Thanks
