Hey guys,
I am conflicted between my options but I think I know which way I’m leaning now. Would love to hear your opinions.
About me: i have 15 years experience doing brand partnerships, endorsements and equity deals in the fashion and consumer space for celebrities and models. Looking to make a huge pivot into healthcare management.
Options:
Three scenarios:
1) Johns Hopkins MBA in healthcare technology and innovation
I received a Cedars Sinai transplant administrative fellowship they only gave to one student which is a 3 month preMBA internship - invaluable for my career pivot.
ROMBA fellowship
Nearly full tuition scholarship, I would pay 5.5k a year out of pocket.
2) Yale MPH from the Yale School of Public Health in healthcare management. This degree at Yale is sort of hybrid with over 50% of the required curriculum and electives being taken at Yale SOM with access to SOM recruiting, internships, job boards and networking events.
No scholarship (yet they said they’ll send in a few days if any)
3) Minnesota Medical industry MBA
Full tuition scholarship
ROMBA fellowship
Minnesota has strong relationships with large healthcare, Medtronic, Boston scientific, Mayo Clinic etc but will still be an uphill battle for the pivot.
I had Vanderbilt and Indiana and those didn’t make the short list because of less funding.

Congratulations on your Admits!!!
You have a lot of experience and it is very impressive you have maintained your career trajectory to get admits at all these schools. Usually they have a hard time evaluating applicants with this much experience. So kudos to you!
Frankly, I love the Cedars Sinai scholarship opportunity. On paper it sounds very good and it is a very well known hospital (my first son was born there
) but I would check if you are going to be one of 20 various interns they pick up from various programs. I would also make sure you know how you were chosen, etc to make sure it is not an "honorary" internship that goes nowhere but the sound of it is amazing and if it is even half as good as it sounds, it is a great shoe in opportunity. What about the internship between the 2 years? Do you have an option to come back? Of course the Johns Hopkins MBA is not very well rated/ranked/selective so as long as you are never planning to rely on the career services or recruiting or things like that on the MBA side, should be OK. I lack deep expertise in the healthcare management however 
One note of caution is that with the Med School being very competitive and the MBA being pretty unselective, there is a rift between Med and MBA students where the med students are best of the best while the MBA are just average folks and both sides know it.
Carlson does have the tie in with Mayo and other health providers. But it is an arm's length usually so not as favorable as JH.
Yale is a strong combo name for Healthcare and MBA. The best of both worlds.... how important is the scholarship to you? Is that a laughable amount esp when compared to the med school loans and costs?

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I will be the ONLY fellow at cedars transplant this summer. The director the transplant center is a Johns Hopkins alum MD/MBA and this an effort to combine their resources. This year is the inaugural year of JHU Carey’s new curriculum. They are leaning into healthcare as only they can do. So I have a strong feeling things will change for them as far as reputation. Their career services center got me the cedars fellowship so I already have a great experience with them. I agree with you with recruiting for consulting or Fortune 500 might be harder.
I also agree with you my experience was a hurdle. I think it’s a combination of people wanting to put you in a box and ageism but I never listen to any of that and pursued what I wanted any way!
I’m leaning towards Johns Hopkins as I am sure you can tell. I know I’ll be able able to network as I sort of think it’s one of my stronger skills. But Yale is a great established program but I am debt averse and unless you think Carey is an unsurmountable hurdle in terms of recruitment I think that’s where I’ll be.
Agree!?
