well there is a pretty big jump between penn state and tepper i think. I don't know much about that field, so i'd take a look at the employment reports. If penn state can get you where you want to be, then it might be worth it to go there. But I doubt there will be many opportunities for management consulting out of penn state.
the financial freedom of penn state doesn't mean that you'll be able to accept any job you want after school, in fact many companies that recruit at tepper likely won't recruit at smeagol. Also keep in mind that as bad as this sounds, penn state is still at a low point due to what happened with whats his name.
That being said, 150k is a lot of money. have you tried to apply anywhere else? maybe there is a happy medium. another program that is ranked a bit below tepper that would give you some money. Something like georgetown or similar. Unless you are only looking in pa. my point is that personally i wouldn't go to penn state over tepper even with the money. it's too big of a jump. But not knowing much about supply chain management I can't comment as to penn states ability to get you where you want to go.

My first thought when you mentioned SCM/Ops was Smeal. Penn State is really really good in that area, but like kason said if you were to change your mind and go a different direction (management consulting or otherwise), you might have a tough time coming out of Smeal.
You sound like you want to go to CMU and you're looking for reassurance that taking on the debt will be worth it for you and your career. Have you tried going back to CMU and asking for $$, given that you have the Smeal $$ offer? They might be able to offer you something or potentially match the offer.
