I got an admit to Booth EMBA program. I applied to 2 schools and rejected by the other one(Wharton). I will be commuting from a distance and am wondering on the cost and ROI of this program. I heard the faculty is real good but there is less flexibility to select courses in this program.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

According to this, you can expect around a 38% increase in salary from an MBA if you're on the executive level (assumption):

Interesting to see that current executive-level MBAs see the smallest bump in pay when exiting the program, which is more a function of the starting point salary than program quality. From my own research, you get less out of a part-time or executive program than you would out of a full-time in terms of immersion, new ideas, new people, etc. That said, I can't see how you'd go wrong with Booth, currently ranked #2 in EMBA programs.
