I'm not sure what I would have done before school, but as a second-year student looking over my student loan obligations, I'd take Booth :).

The OP picked HBS. I'm sure HBS gave him some need-based aid.

I personally would have gone for HBS given the reputation, network, and career opportunities but a free-ride to Booth is the financially responsible decision. As an MBA alum I can say loan obligations are real money so I would never fault anyone from taking Booth

Your pool is not clear, so I voted for HBS thinking that was 100% and you'd have to pay some money for Booth. Now, I'd vote for Booth.
