The cost difference would be about $60K over two years, which is definitely a consideration, but IMO shouldn’t be enough to sway your decision. If you go into IB, you will likely make that amount back in bonuses alone in your first year or two post-MBA. Whereas I chose Darden in this situation, I also have family in the DC area swaying my decision and while I loved Tuck, I wouldn’t say it was my “dream” school, and I’m sure I’ll be just as happy at Darden. If you feel like you’d always wonder about what you missed out on by not choosing Tuck, then I think you should go. (0)
