So, the good news is I got admits from the only two schools I applied to. And honestly I wasn't expecting to get an admit from Kellogg! Fuqua hinted they might give a bit of scholarship (~$20k) and Kellogg might do the same although it's a bit more competitive.
About me -
Mid 30s, energy sector professional, 14 yrs work ex, located in the Atlanta suburbs, planning to stay in the sector but may not be with my current employer, long-term goals are to be in strategy/VC in energy/clean tech.
Spoke to several people in both programs and they only have great things to say.
Kellogg-
Pros:
- big brand
- more experienced cohort
- larger alumni network
- global weeks
Cons:
- costs $70k more
- travel twice monthly
- smaller cohort
Fuqua
Pros:
- has a bit more energy focus through their EDGE center
- once a month travel
- larger cohort hence more networking opportunities
- decent brand for $150k (yes, not M7 but still "Fuqua"!)
- lifetime access to executive education free of tuition
Cons:
- brand! NOT Kellogg
- younger cohort who see EMBA as more of a part-time MBA route
- smaller alumni network, perhaps more local to the south too
Having a tough time deciding. Problem is that Kellogg scholarship isn't certain till July and Fuqua cohort starts in May.
I know there's no wrong answer between two great schools, but
I'd really appreciate any advice as my brain is fried discussing this all week with my spouse!
Thanks so very much in advance.

I was in a similar situation comparing Fuqua to the other school in Chicago... I opted for the other school but for different reasons, mainly it's a big hub for my industry and I have family in the area. The $50K plus difference and the daunting travel were tough pills to swallow but now that I'm getting to know the cohort I'm so excited.
I think the biggest thing is to attend as many events as possible for each cohort, get to know the potential people you'll be in the program with, if possible. I know some schools don't give much time for that but if you can I'd encourage it. I too, noticed that Fuqua's experience range skewed a little less experienced and was something I considered.
I'd also suggest looking on LinkedIn for people in your ultimate goal role. What schools did they go to? Can you get there with a Fuqua degree or are they all from M7 type schools?

Hi, I’m wondering which direction you went. I think that pivoting from Fuqua would actually be a little bit easier. I’m wondering why you didn’t consider the ones per month option for Kellogg if that was a priority for you. I’m hoping that you’re really happy with whatever choice you made, interested in hearing about your experience
