Hi,
I got admitted to UW Foster with a generous scholarship. However, I received an email yesterday notifying me that I've been accepted off the waitlist at McCombs at UT Austin. I am in tech right now, and want to continue working in tech post-MBA, in product management/strategy. However, I'm not averse to a move to management consulting either, if an opportunity presents itself. I am an international student, and will require my employer to sponsor my work visa.
What do you guys recommend? I understand that both Seattle and Austin are great for tech -- but does Seattle have a slight edge? Foster has great placement stats, especially for internationals. But McCombs is ranked higher and has a greater nationwide brand, but does that differential justify the more-than-double cost I will need to pay there? Also, how much caliber/quality of the MBA class impact the overall experience? And would student caliber at these schools be significantly different?
Any help would be appreciated greatly!
Thanks.

Congrats! You are right that MCCombs has a slightly better reputation but it's not significant enough to turn down $$ at Foster. In fact, Seattle MIGHT be a better location for internationals as companies like Amazon, Microsoft, etc actively sponsor visas. If I were you, I would negotiate with McCombs. Tell them that u really wanna go to their school but have a generous scholarship from a very good program. Explore if they will shell out some money. If not, go to Foster. It's a great school as well. Good luck!
