anon42780 Likes Earned: 1 I made the same decision last year and chose Wharton over a full-ride at CBS. You'll make a high enough salary in tech and semester in SF at Wharton is a game changer. Brand much stronger for tech than CBS. (0)

anon22611 Likes Earned: 0 absolutely not worth the debt. Take CBS and run you will be able to go after jobs you actually want without having the looming debt hanging over your head all the time. I never understood why people dig themselves into a 200k hole for no reason when they have a FREE option that is just as good lol. Wild (0)

anon16640 Likes Earned: 0 Wharton is way better represented in tech than CBS. An MBA is a lifetime investment IMO, and you get what you pay for. I wouldn't go for the cheaper option (since you'll be able to afford either); I would go for the better option. (0)

anon13561 Likes Earned: 0 Go to Columbia. Honestly, the employment opportunities should be nearly identical. It is true that the alumni base at Wharton is likely to be stronger, but I'm not sure if being ridden in debt overrides this benefit. (0)
