Hello, mjyg. If the sticker price is the only thing keeping you from Cornell, then you should probably choose Cornell to avoid facing a potentially lifelong What if? thereafter. It does have a stronger reputation, although Tennessee is a fine school, and your work experience and slight preference for HR align better with the Cornell program. You also have to consider ROI. I say this a lot in my posts on such topics. But if graduates of one program start off at, say, $90K, and graduates of another start off at $120K, the difference in upfront costs can be erased within a few years. And brand recognition might put you on the faster track to promotion. Understand, I hate the business game. I have known plenty of brilliant people who never went to ivory tower schools and plenty of nitwits who did. But I also appreciate the way the world works, and people have collectively decided that the Cornell name and others like it matter a lot more than others.
Good luck, whatever you decide.

Congratulations on your admits. HR has become a hard position to fill with so many workers shortages, HR have become very important people, probably for the first time ever in corporate world. I feel it’s a good timing as long as the labor shortage holds, you will be the first one in the class to find a job when you graduate 
However, that may not last for three years until you graduate and who knows how things will turn out. One thing that has been a pattern in the past is that HR jobs usually don’t bring the biggest money and often don’t require MBA degrees…. My recommendation would be going for the scholarship. Unless you were going for a more profitable position or opportunity, I would get the money and minimize your debt. Also amor generic MBA is helpful in case you need to shift into tech or finance.
Balsam is not Harvard and my guess doesn’t carry the biggest power in the world, but you have to look hard to beat a free MBA degree. At least I assume it is free based on the scholarship amount.
PS. Does MPOWER finance that much? Have you talked to them? I know they’ve been expanding their limits but in the past they had a $30k/year limit. I assume you’ve already checked it.
