Note:

Central Asian female based in EU, very global profile. Strong essays (reviewed by a top consultant) and strong recommendations from a client and a partner. WE is very strong: direct work with C-level at global companies, one rec. written by a client, multiple promotions in 4 years.
Curious why rejected. Suspect lack of pedigree (mid European schools but nothing standout), non-traditional WE (boutique firms), an okay-ish GRE.
Post-MBA goal: MBB, then PE Ops in frontier markets — fits my background and story of working in a frontier markets.

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?

Notes:

Additional Notes:
1. MBB consultant w/3 years at the firm + one promotion
2. Took a secondment at a nonprofit focused in sustainability in countries below the equator (although have programs above too), including the one I am from (mentioned the link in essays)
3. Choosing to go to MBA for network opportunity to continue sustainability-focus, and inch closer to being ready to be in fields like impact investing (think MBB gives me general knowledge, but doesn't get me to where I want to go)
4. Will return to MBB because of sponsorship
5. Am worried about GRE; got a 158Q and 169V - so avg is around school avg, but the split is bad. Biggest worry here.
