eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1919 Congrats on your acceptances to CBS and Kellogg and your full ride at Stern. Well done. These are some great options. A few questions for you to ponder. 1) Net tuition cost. It sounds like going to Stern would save you $150k+ compared to attending CBS or Kellogg. This is a significant cost savings. 2) Location: You currently live in NYC. Would you like to stay in NYC for business school or return to NYC post MBA? If so, then selecting either CBS or NYU might be attractive. 3) Brand/network: Since you are already a NYU graduate, both CBS and Kellogg are great programs that would expand your brand and network. 4) Career options: You mention Venture Capital. I suspect that either CBS or Kellogg would give you more options. In summary, there are clearly benefits for you to consider choosing either CBS or Kellogg over Stern. However, there is a big cost in terms of tuition. If you value the brand/network options of CBS/Kellogg and if you are less price sensitive, then select either CBS or Kellogg. Best of luck. (1)
