How to Choose Between Schools

Description:

Choosing between admits is a genuinely hard, high-stakes decision — and rankings won't make it for you. Scholarship vs. brand, 1-year vs. 2-year, geography vs. network, ROI vs. fit: these trade-offs are personal, and most people make them on gut and prestige alone.

In this session I'll give you a clear framework to weigh your offers against what you actually want post-MBA, so you commit with conviction instead of second-guessing for months.

We'll cover:

1. Building a decision matrix from your real priorities (not generic ones)
2. Scholarship vs. brand — when to take the money, when not to
3. 1-year vs. 2-year: cost, recruiting, and lost-salary math
4. Geography and work rights: where do you actually want to end up?
5. Reading a school's network and outcomes for your target role

Best for: applicants holding two or more offers, or deciding where to deposit.
