Eric it must be fun for you to see go through the ups and downs and then finally end up somewhere they're happy with.
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

Dont know... its tough! I live in Phoenix, but went to USD for undergrad. ASU is ranked, but USD has the program I like (CSR & Social Enterprise). USD is private, but with this scholarship would cost $12k less.

I dont think I can go wrong either way, but... do you guys see anything that I'm not pointing out?

i think you've answered your question already... USD has the program you like & would cost $12k less... i think that explains it right there

Nice job! You survived the grueling assessment day and obviously passed with flying colors. I'm sure you'll have a great time in Barcelona.
