Hi guys,
I am having a tough time deciding between two great programs- Foster and Anderson. After scholarship $$, the tuition at both places will roughly be the same. Post-MBA, i am looking to transition into Product Management/Marketing in tech companies. My background - Indian, Engineer (with 5 years of experience in HPC), and based in Seattle. Long term, I would like to live in the Seattle area. Any thoughts/inputs is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hey abhropal ,
Congratulations for the two great admits.
Looking at your goals and the place you wanna live post MBA, I think Foster makes sense without another thought.
Seattle has alot many opprtunities for Tech goals. You will get that benefit.
All the best

Congratulations on your 2 admits!
If you have been in the PNW/Seattle, then makes sense to stay there. UW is pretty much the strongest university and many folks have gone there for undergrad, if not BSchool. It will be a good extended network. Most of the strongest Tech is in Silicon Valley or Seattle i feel, not LA.
At the same time, Anderson is meaningfully better ranked and would provide for more growth, higher caliber classmates, larger program with more class options, and change of scenery.
I am with you - it is a tough choice. As someone who lived in LA and moved to Seattle later on, took me a long time to adjust to the weather but I under-appreciated some of the benefits Seattle has, esp if you have a family (good schools, on Eastside that is, actual neighborhoods, somewhat better traffic, though it has been getting a lot worse, lack of LA craziness, flashy cars, heat, and concrete). Still seems odd to leave only to come back but it may be a nice place to get away to. I don't think you will make a wrong choice either way.
Anderson would be a greater challenge, risk, and potential reward. Foster is safer and probably slightly easier. Depending on what you are looking for in life at the moment, one may appeal more than the other.
Good luck!
