Hi All,
Pleasantly surprised to have a decision between Wharton ($10k) and Kellogg ($80k).
I work in FP&A for a health care provider. I'm passionate about health care and will stay in the same industry, but plan to switch to a general management role.
Wharton was my top choice because of their health care management (HCM) program. I know I want to stay in this industry and am really drawn to being able to take classes in a curriculum focused on it. Probably even more important to me is the network and having large group of students/alumni that hold leadership positions throughout the industry.
I really liked Kellogg as well and it aligns strongly to my interests with really good GM and health care placements. While Kellogg does offer a number of health care classes, it doesn't seem to be as robust of a curriculum/community around it. That being said, it seems quite feasible that my first job post MBA is the same between these 2 schools. Career outcomes (even if not immediate), are why I would consider paying the extra money to go to Wharton, but would there actually be any difference?
tl;dr Going into healthcare general management. Wharton HCM ($10k) or Kellogg ($80k)?

Congratulations on your great work and great admits! I have no clear cut answer but I was thrilled to see your admit in the chat and here are my philosophical musings.
In a number of ways, business school is a road to your end goal which is a career shift or a job promotion. It is not the end goal, it’s only means to the goal. Kind of like a plane ride would get you to your vacation destination. Of course some choose to fly on Ryanair and others fly in Business. Except in this case it’s more like business class in Delta vs United. Not that different .... but the price is quite different.
One perspective would say that I think you can easily attend Kellogg without thinking twice about it if the recruiting is comparable. That is the end goal. On the other hand, You total cost of attendance with opportunity cost is $300,000 versus $370,000. Not that much different either.

Thanks for the reply bb! I think you hit the nail on the head, I liked the plane analogy 
I am leaning towards Kellogg because I feel like I'll have a similar quality outcome/experience while saving a lot of money, but planning to spend the next few weeks pondering it some more.
P.S. Also thanks for running an awesome website that's been really helpful in this process!
