Background: Undergrad double major in math and econ from West Point, 1-year Master in Econ from Cambridge, 6 years in the Army, 2 at Big 4 Consulting (Federal) trying to move to Healthcare Management (with strategy/innovation/analytics interests).
Kellogg's 1Y seems to offer a great ROI, prevents overlap with my academic background, and has a good healthcare offering.
Booth obviously still offers a great program, including the Graduate Program in Health Administration and Policy, and has the advantage of the summer internship, which (as a career switcher) would be important. Plus the 60k evens out cost a bit.
Should I try to be done a year earlier? Is the internship that important if I'm not going back to consulting, but would like to work for a health/bio/pharma company (I've only done one brief HC engagement, and w/ the government)? If I told Kellogg, is there a potential to ask for a merit scholarship relook? So many questions...
