Applied to 3 b-schools. Got into SOM with 80K over 2 years (40K per year) , and just found out yesterday that I got a named scholarship from Oxford Said that covers all course fees + living stipend.
I'm Canadian, from a non-traditional background (government) and view both schools equally ranking wise (I hadn't heard of M7 or UChicago, northwestern, umich, prior to submitting MBA applications).
I'm not looking to work in the US after graduation. Would like to work in Singapore or return to Canada.
If I went to Oxford, I could keep my current job and take a leave a absence. Then slowly look for another job when I come back to Canada.
If I went to SOM I'd be quitting my job and looking to pivot to consulting. I've heard recruiting outcomes are better at a US b-schools vs the UK, but living in the UK would be safer than the US.
I'd been set on SOM when I thought Oxford was full price, but now that Oxford is free - I'm pretty swayed.

Congrats on your admits!
Is the reason UK is safer because you can keep your job and it is basically free?
I am not sure that Oxford Said is the same rank as Yale but with the free offer and faster and shorter downtime are pretty attractive.
I think if you want to come back to Canada and take your old job, why do you even need an MBA, you already have the job
I will probably try to figure out what it is that you exactly want to do once you graduate. It wasn’t clear from your post as you mentioned consulting in Singapore but it wasn’t clear if you would do consulting in Singapore or only consulting if you want to Yale but not at Oxford. Does your employer potentially give you a bump in position/salary if you get an MBA and it doesn’t matter from where?

Hey BB! Oxford is safer as in from a crime/no guns in the UK perspective - and as a female I'd probably feel more comfortable walking home at night perspective.
I wouldn't get an immediate pay bump when I return to my current job. I am looking to pivot to consulting either way. But essentially I'd have a fall back with my old job if I went to Oxford, if I fail at recruiting for consulting.
