My personal recommendation is to go far full ride option with tepper.

UVA and yale are far better schools but from purely ROI perspective go far tepper

I am a 30M with a MPP and seven years in working in the education and public policy space. I have a BA with a 3.7 gpa and an MPP with a 3.7 gpa (not from any elite schools). GMAT 665 and GRE Q168 and V167. I am hoping to pivot into consulting through the MBA. However, Tepper offered me a full ride. I know Yale and UVA are great schools and have great outcomes for consulting, especially for MBB, but I am not convinced its worth the tremendous amount of debt when I could go to Tepper for free. What do you all think? Are the consulting outcomes at Yale and UVA worth it? Also, I tried negotiating with with the schools and did not receive any additional scholarship.
