Notes:

Post-MBA Goals: Transition into Tech Leadership or Product Management/Strategy within Tech/FinTech.
The Dilemma:

Extremely debt-averse due to the current market and geopolitical uncertainty. Is the prestige/network of Tepper or Marshall worth the $100k+ debt gap for someone with a strong technical background, or is the UF "safe" option better?
