I am a senior consultant at one of the Big 4 with 5.6 years of experience and an international student who has received admits to a few schools for Fall 2024. However, I am confused about which school and program to choose.
Option 1: UNC Kenan-Flagler full-time MBA program with a $100k scholarship.
Option 2: CMU Tepper 9-month MSBA program with a $6k scholarship.
I am inclined towards the MBA option at UNC Kenan-Flagler, but here is why I am considering the MSBA at CMU Tepper:
Tepper has an edge in ranking and alumni network over Kenan-Flagler.
The 9-month course duration allows for a quicker return to the job market.
Given these considerations, which school and program should I choose?

Looks like i started replying and never submitted my reply.
It is tricky as you are comparing FT MBA with MSBA in a very confusing way by showing how much sholarship you got as opposed to providing the cost of attendance/etc. I would say the data is hard to digest and as the result it would be a questionable recommendation taking into consideration you did not share any goals. This feels like a very rash post. I am afraid, I can't really comment one way or another.
