Hi all,
I was very fortunate to receive Kelley's full ride and already paid the deposit. I just got converted from Ross with 20k scholarship so that would mean extra 120k loan, which would be a huge burden for me...
My background is a project manager in renewable energy and i'm hoping to pivot to sustainability consulting post-MBA or back to renewable energy as commercial role. I was quite amazed by Kelley's consulting resources but Ross was my dream school not only because its brand name but also every alumni i talked to was really nice and helpful.
I'm really struggling between the two and would appreciate your advice and guidance. Thanks!!

Congratulations on receiving offer letters from Kelley and Ross. Here are a few points you can consider.
Firstly, consider your career goals. Both schools have their strengths, with Kelley offering strong resources in consulting and Ross being renowned for its brand name and helpful alumni network. Think about which school's resources align better with your goal of transitioning into sustainability consulting or a commercial role in renewable energy. Evaluate the curriculum, courses, and networking opportunities at both schools to determine which one can better support your desired career path.
Next, weigh the financial aspect. Taking on an additional $120k loan can indeed be a significant burden, and it's important to consider the long-term financial implications. Assess your financial situation, potential future earnings in your desired field, and how comfortable you would be managing the loan repayment. Consider whether the financial burden will limit your options or affect your career decisions in the future.
Furthermore, You mentioned that Ross is your dream school and that the alumni you spoke to were incredibly helpful. These factors can contribute to your overall experience and network, which can be valuable in the long run.
Ultimately, this decision should be based on a combination of your career goals, financial considerations, and personal preferences. Take the time to thoroughly research and consider the pros and cons of each school. Additionally, try reaching out to current students or alumni from both schools to gain further insights into the culture, opportunities, and support they provide.
Irrespective of the school you end up choosing both are great schools in their own domain. While Ross is a better option among the two, but again it depends upon all of the factors. Good luck.
