Hi all,
I have been fortunate to be accepted to multiple schools but now I am having an incredibly hard time deciding between these schools in my particular situation, so was wondering about your thoughts:
I am from Europe (no US passport holder), but my goal is to stay in the US, preferably in California after the MBA. I'm currently working in consulting and my post MBA plans are in Tech or, alternatively, people management in the tech industry. I'm also interested in all things around innovation regardless of the sector, but tech seems to unite it all and sponsor Visas for internationals.
Should I have to return to Europe (not sure how my visa situation will turn out eventually), I'm looking into the schools' international network. I would like to retain some network internationally. It seems like Haas's network is a bit stronger in Europe, but then, my debt would be larger if I have to return... UCLA Anderson has such a great career center, which is a huge plus for them. Culture-wise I click well with both schools, whereas, academically, Haas has a more innovation-focused curriculum which clicks well with me. I have some affinity and a friend network in the Bay Area currently but I am also really fond of LA and the emerging tech scene there! On the one side I'm hesitant to turn down a solidly Top 10 school, on the other, there's the scholarship...
Thoughts? Anything I'm missing that would make my decision easier?

I would go with Haas here. It has a global reputation and is the stronger MBA program between the two. Also, Haas is right up there with Stanford and Sloan as top feeders to the tech industry. These schools will boast strong alumni networks that you can tap into throughout your career that even a good school like UCLA won't be able to. Also, keep in mind given you're not too far from LA, you can still tap into job opportunities at the emerging LA tech scene so don't think you have to choose one over the other.

Honestly w/ the current US political climate, I am not sure I would want to stay here...
I was also very drawn to Anderson because of the career center! I liked it much more than I thought I would when I visited, so I totally get why you are conflicted!
