Going to a non-HWS top 10 instead of a top 15 gets you about an extra ~20k-40k per year, with some schools under or over performing.

I'd say on a personal level though, the true difference in value of an applicant is probably less though...If a student who got into Fuqua and Booth chose to go to Fuqua, he'd probably be top 10-30% of the class, so he'd probably make more than median. Despite that asterisk though, Personally, unless a huge scholarship was offered I was going to go to the best school I got into. I think the network and brand of a top 10 school is priceless.
