Hey Folks,
I am having difficulty deciding between Michigan Ross (no money) and Indiana Kelley (full ride; including paid insurance) I hope to use my MBA to pivot into the human capital space, specifically functional HR. Michigan is my absolute dream school...I love it’s culture and people. Kelley is great, but I’m not as sold. Any insights would be helpful!

Congratulations on your admits!
I can see a few courses of action. I have a topic about negotiating scholarships and potentially approaching Ross about bumping your consideration. Who knows maybe they have somebody drop out and some money opened up. Not sure if you’ve already approach them but I wouldn’t expect too much since there’s usually not that much money available this late in the season.
Something to consider is that having a full scholarship will provide you with more flexibility to take more risk after business school. We are talking about about $1500 a month difference for the next 10 years after you graduate. I can see some of the HR positions being less lucrative than others so this may be a consideration. Also, in case you’re planning to take a maternity or paternity leave, at some point in the next 10 years, it’s nice not to have that financial burden.
Otherwise, Ross is a great school and I would totally recommend it without any hesitations but in light of the Kelly’s offer, it’s hard to ignore it.

While I can't speak about Ross, as a Kelley alumn I would be hard-pressed to ignore the full-ride in comparison to no scholarship.
Apart from that, Deloitte hires quite a few candidates at Kelley into their Human Capital practice and we also have a specific Human Captial club for those interested which focuses specifically on HC interview prep and casing. They also do a good job of bringing in companies hiring in HC roles and have a good alumni base. Last year I was one of the 5 candidates representing Kelley for a Deloitte-HP human capital competition where Kelley usually sends 5 member teams (the best 5 applicants chosen to represent) each year and it is a great learning and networking experience. So you have a good chance of exposure to the Human Capital space at Kelley.
Culture-wise, it depends on what you thrive on. Within Ross, it can get quite competitive (what I heard from current students) whereas Kelley is more collaborative.
Just my 2cents.
Good luck!
