I'm having a tough time deciding between the Stanford MSx program and a T-15 MBA program (think Duke/Ross/Darden/Tuck).
(Not M7 or HSW).
Background
I have about 9 years of work experience in entrepreneurship, small and medium businesses, and business management. GMAT score 700-720.
In terms of cost, the annual cost of the MSx is higher but the total cost of the program comes about the same. I do save a year with the MSx.
Post-MBA I'm considering a role in Corporate Strategy or Strategy Consulting in Asia.
My concern is - the MSx program doesn't have the weight of an MBA degree but comes with the Stanford brand name. The T-15 MBA schools are lower ranked and lesser known/prestigious but do have an MBA.
I'm leaning towards Stanford - Am I inflating the value of the Stanford name in my head or underplaying the importance of an MBA degree over a lifetime?

Have you been accepted to any of the above? or is it hypothetical situation?
What are your goals?

It's hypothetical at this point. WL-ed at 2 T15 schools and applying to MSx.
Short term goals are Consulting / Corporate Strategy in Tech/TMT. Long term interests are in the TMT industry as well but I'm not entirely sure. Definitely will be switching careers (no previous background) and location.
