Hello All,
I am presently the category manager at Decathlon's India business, which is the largest sports goods retailer in the world.
Previously, I have held the position of leading supply chain and operations for Decathlon's retail launch in Sri Lanka. (International Project)
I started my career with Whirlpool Corporation in Supplier Development through their Young Leader's Rotational Program.
Post-MBA, I want to pivot to Product Management role as the first priority.
If not, I can possibly settle for a Sr. Program Manager or Sr, Supply Chain Manager role.
I needed your help to decide between the following
1. The University of Wisconsin-Madison (Wisconsin School of Business)
- 100% Tuition Scholarship
- $1,300/month in 2nd year
- Concentration: Full-time MBA (Concentration- Supply Chain Management) - STEM
2. Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business
- 60% tuition scholarship
- Concentration: MS/MBA Dual Degree (MS- Business Analytics) - STEM
I am inclining towards UW Madison for it is a better offer financially.
Moreover, I am not convinced if Mendoza's MBA brand value is significantly higher than that of Wisconsin's.
However, I know that Mendoza has a very active alumni base, and could lead to much better opportunities post MBA.
So far I've decided to decline the following offers
1. Smeal Full ride
2. Broad Full ride
3. Ross MSCM (5K scholarship)
Thanks for your time!
