Hi everyone -
I got accepted to 5 out of the 7 schools I applied to, but I've narrowed it down to 3: Owen, Foster, and McCombs. I got a big scholarship at Owen, but didn't get anything at UT or University of Washington.
I'm an international student interested in going into Brand Management or HR work, preferably on the West Coast.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm really leaning towards Owen because everyone has been extremely nice, the money situation will be a lot better, and I think Owen still has a good reach and I can look to move out West after school if I want.

Mccombs is easily the strongest program out of this bunch, but for your goals, I would actually lean towards Foster. Foster has the strongest marketing/brand management placement out of these three as far as I am aware. Additionally, I am sure you know that these schools are all strong regionally. If the west coast is your goal, that's another plus for Foster. Not an easy decision for you to make when considering $$, but its important that the school can help you reach your goals.
Also, I would try to reach out to Foster and see if they're willing to negotiate scholarship $. Owen moved ahead in the rankings and if theyre offering you a sizable amount of money, try to get Foster to play ball.

Interesting. Thanks for the opinion. Scholarship isn't happening at Foster - I already wrote them just to see if it would be possible. Foster is probably last one my list right now, because even though I want to get out to the West coast eventually with my fiancé, I look at all of the statistics and it seems like the salaries and recruiting are pretty similar across schools. Add in the fact that I really liked all of the people at Owen, the structure of the program, and my cost of attendance would be lower, and I'm really leaning towards Owen. McCombs is an interesting one, but I'm wondering if it will pay off to take on so much more debt to finance my education.
