Cost of living offsets the scholarship a bit, and over the course of your career that amount of money really isn't that much. UCLA is great but a strong vote for Kellogg. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1693 If you were solely focused on media and entertainment, then you'd make a stronger case for Anderson and scholarship. With your interest in CPG, then the decision is much tougher. Kellogg should allow you more flexibility. Tough call. (0)

Obviously Kellogg is the bigger brand and has a stronger alumni base, but the decision is ultimately yours to make. Have you visited both schools? (0)
