Notes:

Excited about my offers and feeling blessed. A full scholarship at SOM would be a huge benefit, as I would otherwise have to take on loans for tuition. Kellogg is an amazing program for marketing but I didn’t receive scholarships. I’m weighing the ROI for marketing roles/average salaries and if I can achieve my goals at SOM. I’m location agnostic.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1746 These may be fundamental strengths of Kellogg (marketing, etc) but most top MBA programs should serve you well with these goals, and a free ride is very compelling. Thanks for the podcast shoutout. (1)
