eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1944 Congratulations on your acceptances and scholarships to eight MBA programs. Well done. Given your desire to work in big tech in the US, I suggest that you review the big tech placement stats for these programs. Given your desire to minimize student debt, I would calculate the net tuition cost of attending each of these programs (don't forget to include your cost of living expenses. Based on your two goals, GA Tech with a $150k scholarship could be a good fit given the large scholarship and its brand for tech placement. Obviously Tepper ($60k), McCombs ($30k) and Foster ($60k) also have good tech placement, but they are offering you less scholarship. For your due diligence, I suggest that you speak with current students in the Class of 2025 from Scheller who are seeking Big Tech jobs. Good luck. (1)
