FTMBA USC (100% scholarship) v UCLA [#permalink] New post   11 Apr 2024, 09:13
Hi!

I was offered admission with a full scholarship to USC and only admission with no scholarship to UCLA.

I have a background in operations in healthcare and retail, and I hope to land a position in a major healthcare/life sciences corporation or do consulting in healthcare.

Which option would you choose?

Thank you so much for your feedback and help!

This is a no brainer. Go with the money. You won't have superlative options at Anderson than Marshall and that tuition waiver would go a long way.

­Fully agree, it's too much of a tuition difference. Some might argue that Anderson is slightly better, but it's not ~150k better.

­jtmendezv I completely agree. USC is a steal at full scholarship without much difference in terms of opportunities. Best to graduate with least debt in the current economy.
