Notes:

Post MBA Goals are CLDP Program at a Biotech/Pharma Company. Trying to decide what makes sense for myself still.
Waitlisted at MIT currently.
I am very lucky to have $50k of my own money to pay for this but only covers half of what I have left to cover at GU. Looking at what option truthfully makes the most sense for me with my goals.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1857 Would you attend Sloan, if you get off the wait list? Assume you’d need to take on loans for that. Sloan would provide significantly more access. Retaking the GRE might be a good idea for that wait list. I’d assume McDonough will provide you more access to your goals, vs Smith. Tough choice. (0)
