Hello,
I'm in the fortunate (yet stressful) position of trying to decide between full-time programs at Ross and Anderson. My post MBA goal is to get into consulting. I'm also very interested in renewable energy and sustainability. I'm currently living in San Francisco and have long-term aspirations on the West Coast or potentially Denver. I'm in a serious relationship with my girlfriend who is living (and will stay) in SoCal. Here is my breakdown for each school:
Ross
+ Best of the two for MBB recruiting and strong placement on the West Coast
+ I'm a big fan of MAP and many of the other programs sponsored by Ross
+ Every student/alumni I've spoken with raves about Ross
+ The network is strong
+ Potential to get a dual Master's in environmental science in 3 years
- It's very far from my girlfriend in SoCal. I'm concerned the additional distance and time commitment of business school could harm our relationship despite her support of either school
- Weather isn't as nice, but I'm originally from the Midwest, so I'll survive
Anderson
+ $25k/year cheaper due to scholarship and in state tuition. So $50k total less in loans
+ It's even closer than where I'm currently at in San Francisco to my long-term
- More challenging to break into top consulting firms
- Network is limited and regional
- Most of the students I spoke with didn't exhibit much excitement for Anderson. Some clearly did not enjoy the school
Overall, I'm much more excited about Ross. The biggest detractor by far from Ross is it's distance from my girlfriend. The $50k cost difference is significant too.
Which school would you choose?
Thanks for your time!
