Hi,
I have a question about choosing a school. I am a PhD in biomedical sciences and I have admits from two schools - University of Illinois (UIUC) MBA program with some funding and from University of Memphis - Company Sponsored MBA program. At UIUC i am looking at an investment of about 70K and it is a better ranked school. Whereas at UofM - MBA program it is all paid by sponsoring company (tuition, books, laptop included) and also pays a stipend of about 1500 USD per month for full 21 months and a guaranteed job after MBA with commitment of 2 years. It sounds great. I am worried about the reputation of the school and also starting salary. It seems average at UIUC is better by atleast 15000 USD per year compared to U of Memphis and also that overall experience as well as exposure would be much better at UIUC. Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.
