I'm trying to find some advice on business schools and would appreciate any help!
Here is my situation:
My wife and I are currently active-duty, Service Academy grads with TS/SCI clearances. Our options are to:
Option 1: I apply for an MBA at Kellogg/Tuck/Duke and my wife would apply to Masters in Engineering Management (MEM) programs at those schools. We would go to the highest ranked MBA program I get accepted to....(with her low GPA, it would be very difficult to get into the above MBA programs.)
Option 2: We would both get our MBA through Georgetown's Evening MBA program.
Our opportunity would be $400k+ (2 years @80k x2 people + living expenses/tuition not covered by 9/11) to go full-time. Also, MEM graduates avg starting offer is around 70k, compared to 100k+ for MBA.
We plan on working for a major defense contractor in the DC area after we leave active duty. Would a FT MBA from Kellogg/Tuck/Duke offset the opportunity costs and difference in pay between an MEM and MBA?
What would you do if you were in our position? Thanks!!!
