Hey there:
I would appreciate all the advice I could get here. I'm a 35 year old male, working for a social impact fund/impact investing fund hoping to transition into either management consulting, or working in impact investing for the Federal government (i.e. DFC).
I'm deciding between two part-time programs Georgetown and University of Maryland. Georgetown is $120,000, while Maryland is $89,000. The cost plays a huge factor as I really enjoy my current job working in impact investing and I might stay in this field, and not go into management consulting.
I feel both programs are evenly matched, however I feel Georgetown's is a bit overpriced, and there is a chance I still might get a scholarship to Maryland's program.
Any thoughts?

This is a tough call. If you are planning to stay in the field of impact investing and are only looking at these two part-time programs, you might be best served by going with Maryland.
Why are you pursuing the part-time MBA? Are you doing it to add a masters degree to your credentials? Are you trying to expand your network? Are you looking to develop a new skill set? The answer to those questions and the prioritization of your reasons is very important in understand the cost-benefit of the two options.
Georgetown McDonough's reputation is no doubt much better, but if you are only getting the MBA to earn additional credentials and are not looking to career pivot or switch, why spend the extra money? And that's before taking into account a potential scholarship, as you indicate may be possible.
You honestly can't go wrong. Congrats on receiving two offers!
