So here's the deal. I received a scholarship offer at Yale in the amount of $90K. I didnt get any money from Booth. WashU Olin gave me a full ride. I'm wondering if Yale provides the same IB opportunities as Booth?

Notes:

Need advice choosing between Booth (x) and Ross ($$). I'm a nontraditional candidate, pivoting from bedside healthcare into tech/healthtech product management or consulting (to eventually specialize in a firm's healthcare practice). Dream job would be to work for the health division of a big tech company (Amazon Health/Google Health/Apple Health).
