Notes:

My decision is coming down to McCombs or Johnson. The cost of tuition for McCombs will be 70k while Cornell will be 126k. While I feel like McCombs aligns better with my goals, Im tempted to take Cornell's prestige - I also went to UT austin for my undergrad so wouldn't mind a new experience.

snsdrock6 Likes Earned: 5 I dont have a huge preference on living in NYC or Texas immediately after graduating, but I definitely want to settle (5+ years) in Texas. I think McCombs makes the most sense, but do you view these schools to be in similar tiers? I only get to do an MBA and dont want to miss out on prestige by “a lot” (whatever that means). (0)
