Hi All!
I got a 690 my first time, got into BU, Babson, and Northeastern. Babson and Northeastern gave me scholarship.
Now I need advice!
I got into NU (northeastern) with $70k scholarship, this means I can leave b-school without any loans. BU I'm in with no money.
I want to get into the business side of healthcare (got into the health sector management program at BU).
Background: I'm newly married so no money (ie. scholarship is very very very helpful), no experience in health and have only 3 years of work experience in an irrelevant field. Did my undergrad in public health and want to refocus into healthcare.
Northeastern
+ $70k scholarship
+ 6 month paid internship (with this money, I can leave b-school debt free)
+ career center seems to really put in a lot of effort in making you marketable (correct me if I'm wrong) by reading your resumé, going over interviews, etc.
+ 6 month internship = only 1.5 years in the classroom
+ great place for people with no experience (ie. me)
+ really got along with the students
- not as reputable as BU
- doesn't offer health care specialty (would end up specializing in supply chain management or finance)
Boston University
+ higher up on the ranks than NU
+ has health sector management specialty
+ higher average pay after graduation than NU (not sure if applicable to me since I have 0 experience)
+ (don't know much else about the program, so help me fill this in!)
- no scholarship = $120k debt for newly married couple
- only summer internship
- not sure how BU would help someone with no experience in health care management
Disclaimer: I didn't visit the BU campus so don't know much about the program, etc. like I do NU. Visiting them before decision time is also not an option.
Any advice will be helpful!
ps. Not sure where I should post this, please direct me in the proper location if I posted incorrectly.
