Hello everyone,
I have applied to schools to pursue an MBA with a focus in real estate. I also already have a Master's degree in a related field, so I am paying off student loans and would like to keep my MBA costs as low as possible.
I have been accepted to Wisconsin, which with in-state tuition is effectively like a "50% scholarship" for others from elsewhere and also been given a 25% scholarship from that. I've also been accepted to Emory with a 75% scholarship and awarded an additional international travel stipend. Tuition, after awards, will roughly be the same price. Wisconsin is a very strong school in real estate (stronger than Emory), though its business school is not as highly ranked as Emory overall. Emory is looking to increase its presence in non-traditional MBA areas such as real estate and its overall rank is quite appealing, but there would be greater uncertainty regarding recruiting for real estate careers and I would likely be limited to the deep south with respect to jobs. Wisconsin would place for jobs primarily within the Great Lakes region and a few other major cities mainly to the west.
Does anyone have any advice or insights to share to help me in making a decision? Thanks.
---Updated with additional offers from both schools---

Edit - Both schools have unexpectedly provided a little bit more (in that I did not ask for anything), in the form of either tuition or other awards with financial implications. Still quite torn on my decision.
Is this "sweetening of the pot" typical as it gets closer and closer to deposit deadlines?

Congrats for acceptance with those significant scholarships. 
While I usually Emory would be an clear advice given the 75% scholarship with reputable name, I will deviate in you case. The whole aim of doing MBA is to turn your education into a dream job with good salary. The career report of Emory does not show any employment in real estate. It seems categorized under others which is around 4%. While in Wisconsin's report in 2015 & 2016, the real estate percentages are 4% & 8% respectively. Another important is the location. Both serves totally two different territories. It is up to you where you want to live and work. You can still contact Emory's career office to check with them or attend admit weekends to take final decisions.
I have quick question. When did Emory's declare your scholarship? is it in same day of announcement? or week after the announcement?
Good luck
