My profile – I am an international candidate and have close to nine years of experience in Project Management. Worked for US giants in different industries.
Post MBA Goal – Product Management in Tech (targeting Amazon or Microsoft). However, I would like to give a shot to management consulting but I am not sure with no prior experience in consulting and having nine years of experience, I will be able to make it or not. I want to maximize Tech and Consulting recruiting chances while selecting a school for me.
Effective Tuition post Scholarship:
Stern: $ 172K
Tepper: $ 80K
Emory: $ 51K
Marshall: $ 54K
My thoughts: I can fulfill my Tech PM post-MBA goal from all four b schools. Consulting is the deciding factor. For consulting, Stern is best. Tepper & Emory are equal in consulting. Emory wins because of a better location but then Emory is not that strong for tech. Stern Cost of Attendance is huge. Heard that apart from H/S/W and M7, the rest schools are almost the same.
Is Stern's $172K worth in the long term? Can I expect good opportunities from the alumni network during the crisis/down the line for growth?
I don’t have any location constraints. Happy to give more information, if required. I want expert comments here to select a school, which has the best alumni network and can maximize Tech + Consulting chances?

First of all, congratulations on these amazing results. You should be very proud of this accomplishment.
Having good strong brands on your résumé is a big plus. Having nine years of work experience is fine but it does put you a bit on the more experienced side. This is positive and negative. You may be slightly overqualified for a number of the on-campus recruiting opportunities. At the same time, having résumé with strong accomplishments and benefit you in off-campus though again, you don’t want to create an impression that you were overqualified because you’re potential employer that signals you taking the job as a temporary until you find what you were qualified for.
I guess one question is how much help with recruiting do you need or want. If you’re planning to recruit on your own or off-campus, you can take the lowest cost program. I will living in Pittsburgh would be cheaper of any of the other options. Stern will be the most expensive when you figure in living expenses. I don’t feel that the difference between Tepper and Stern is worth 100-120k. Of course I’m sure that if you had been only admitted to Tepper or Stern without any scholarship, you would’ve gone without questions 😂
I can absolutely see going to stern if you lacked any brand names on your résumé or if you were after MBB or another recruiter that primarily recruits from Stern. I’m personally attracted to Tepper. It has a better brand recognition globally and is a traditional Top 20 program with on campus recruiting. USC has benefits as well being in SoCal and not far away from the Silicon Valley. Just a 6 Hour drive 😂 but makes it logistically easier for recruiting trips and quick jaunts Bay Area. You will be at the mercy of your tech club or other non-formal recruiting arrangements.
Also consider if you have any friends or a network of people you know and where they are. It is pretty helpful to have somebody nearby. So if you have some friends or family that live in California or on the East Coast, I would take that into consideration.
I would pick between Tepper and Marshall.
