Had a lot of reaches but got my top choice (Kellogg MBAi) R1, but the offer from Tepper is attractive since I’m cost-conscious. Should I go to Kellogg even without the money?

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1834 Very well done. Tough choice given the cost differential. But I’d consider Kellogg a couple of tiers ahead. The key will be whether you think Tepper can provide you good access to your post MBA goals, relative to Tepper. And whether you might regret not going to Kellogg? (0)

bhw_13 Likes Earned: 20 Kellogg MBAi has been my top choice for a long time. More I think about it, the more sold I am. I think I’ll try my hand at negotiating and securing what external scholarships I can before attending to lighten the financial burden. I love what you guys at clearadmit do, you’re such an incredible resource for MBA aspirants. Thanks for the extra push to retake the GRE! (1)
