[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, thanks PP. I was hoping to hear from other people who've gotten their MBAs from top programs. I have to admit that it's hard to think that I am foregoing working for a big corporation for a lot of money, but I don't even know if that's what I want,  you know? I don't know if I'm being naive or idealistic in being drawn to the smaller program (which in many ways is anti-corporate), or if I need to (as they say) follow my heart. The two paths are so different, and I feel like it's a hard choice because I have to really know myself and what I want for myself.[/quote]

I'm the PP w/ the consultancy. I didn't see this post before I wrote. You absolutely should go to the higher ranked program, without question or even a moments hesitation. I have worked with so many people like you - torn and unsure of exactly what they want - and I genuinely cannot think of a single person who regretted going to a higher ranked program because of the flexibility it affords. I can point to many however who were swayed by a slightly better stipend, or marginally better tuition break, or some very specific benefit: "XXX has a mock trading floor, I'll get real life experience!!! I'll go there!" (the appropriate response fyi would be 'who gives a shit? Recruiters certainly don't'.) and ended up at regional no-name universities and regretted the choice.

I say again: Tabula rasa. You get to do this once, and only once.
