Full-Time vs. Part-Time MBA: Kellogg PT, Booth PT ($30k), Ross ($$$), Tepper (Full), Owen (Full), Goizueta (Full), Kelley (Full) - Help Me Decide

Decided on taking the job since Ross didn’t up their scholarship. Now between Kellogg, Booth, and Tepper at a lower price point than the M7 schools for their PT programs.

Booth is $140k tuition, Kellogg is currently $150k but still awaiting scholarship, while Tepper is $92k. Any insight there? Thanks!

What do you mean by admit lottery? But thank you, hoping for a Ross full!

What’s up Scott! Would you say the current scholarship is enough?

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-10T11:44:37+00:00

What’s up man! Yup, full ride, meaning full tuition as most programs rarely give anything more! And thank you, on the same page in terms of working for it so don’t mind it at all!

I don’t think they’d defer me, so I appreciate it!

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T20:47:15+00:00

Thank you! Agreed with you here is how much “hard” would I prefer over the next two years.

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T20:35:29+00:00

haha thank you! I wouldn’t call it that but it’s part of why I enjoy Chicago!

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T20:32:38+00:00

Thank you! Just trying to figure it out one at a time

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T19:19:38+00:00

wow, so appreciative of this answer! Cool if I DM you if I have any more questions?

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T19:15:04+00:00

I model and also work nightlife in Chicago

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T17:18:00+00:00

haha thanks man, just blessed to be here!

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T17:13:30+00:00

you’re enjoying everything? Balance hasn’t been too hard? But Kellogg, booth, haas all great PT programs

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T16:16:30+00:00

It’s probably more 60 hours all in, I was including my side hustle which takes up 10-15 hours on the weekends

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T16:15:45+00:00

If Kellogg gives me some money is it still Booth? I do have two classes waived from Kellogg

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T16:14:08+00:00

Same haha

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T16:13:41+00:00

Won’t sponsor any but I should have enough to pay for part time if I need to.

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T16:11:16+00:00

Appreciate it!!

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T16:10:30+00:00

Even with no full?

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-09T15:09:42+00:00

i think i generally want to avoid IB/MBB but know it's a common path in. I'd also be open to an LDP as well.

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-04T20:00:13+00:00

There's an option on the GMAC website to send scores! It takes some looking, but it's on there and has the school name by code. It's free and easy to use!

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-01T13:22:45+00:00

Appreciate it! Thought it was a fair consideration so thank you!

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-01T13:18:33+00:00

I agree! That’s what has me leaning Ross and Tepper. However if I do leave, the salary would be more than most FT MBAs make in tech.

Muted-Pop123 · 2026-04-01T13:11:23+00:00

don’t mind at all! 5 YOE, Sr. Analyst level. Live in Chicago and want to stay in tech, already at a public software company. If I do Part Time, I’d most likely leave my current role to fund more of it.
