Hi,
I have narrowed down my schools to Tepper and Notre Dame. However, given my post-MBA plans, I am in a dilemma. I want to work as a Program Manager in the Tech industry after my MBA. Hence, Tepper makes more sense for me, but Tepper is expensive and Notre Dame is offering me a full ride. Could someone please shed light on whether going to Tepper with a huge education loan [given that I am an international student] makes sense for me?

Also, I don't have any job location preference.

Hello MRaut,

Tepper is a clear winner, especially since your goals are in the tech industry. However, whether it is going to be worth going to Tepper with an education loan is a very subjective question and you will probably need to ask yourself that! :-)

We do recommend that you get in touch with alumni from both schools (the more recent ones) to get an accurate picture.

Good Luck!

I got in touch with Tepper alumni and ND alumni. Tepper is the clear winner, so I have decided to join Tepper.
Thank you, everyone, for answering my question.
