Hi,
I have got admits from Tepper and Kelley. The thing is that Tepper is not offering me any scholarship while Kelley is offering me a total of 86% scholalrship (Forte Foundation half tution waiver and Graduate Assisstantship).
To attend Tepper, I will need to arrange for a loan of 100 K $.
I want to go into Strategic Consulting and being an international students, placement is an important criteria.
I need some advice as to how much the brand CMU matter and is it worth the differential amount?
Which one of the two would be a better decision.
Please help.
Thanks,
Rhea

Hello,
Congratulations on your great admits!
I think the question isn’t how much the Tepper brand is worth generally – rather, it’s how much does it matter for your short-term and longer-term goals.
For your short-term goals, the best way to weigh the value of the Tepper brand versus the Kelley funding is to compare the recruiting at both institutions – if they’re roughly equal or Kelley is better, then taking the Kelley offer makes sense. If Tepper is much better, then it’s a harder decision, but Tepper becomes a more attractive option relatively.
As for long-term goals, unless you plan to teach at a global institution, I believe that your advancement and opportunities will rest on the professional track record you create, and since both institutions would be very respectable alma maters, you don’t have to worry so much about brand at that point.
Linda Abraham also offers some basic advice on this issue in a recent blog post.
