Hello All,
I was recently admitted to Ross (no $), McCombs ($70K), and KF (full-ride). My goal-post MBA is to pivot into Management Consulting. Obviously, all things equal, Ross would be the slam dunk choice here. But the massive cost difference is giving me pause and I'm not sure that the stronger career outcomes at Ross would be worth the large debt burden post-grad. I'm curious as to what this board has to say.
Thanks.

Congratulations!
So it is $150K difference between Ross and KF?
You would still have $100K or so of living expenses between the 2 schools.
I think you could easily get away with UNC without taking any hits in your MBB recruiting. They have solid consulting focus and MBB recruiting on campus. You would have similar recruiting opportunities. Perhaps a bit less hand-holding and less elite air but that's easily compensatable with 150K. Keep in mind however, that consulting recruiting is COMPETITIVE and every single one of your classmate will try it. Not all of them will succeed...
P.S. Both BCG and McKinsey recruit for their summer pre-mba internship programs from UNC (and McCombs for that matter). I highly recommend to do what you can to get through into this program. https://careers.bcg.com/bcg-unlock
