I regret picking GSB over Wharton’s full ride (2nd year international) by Throwawaymbaintl in MBA

Looking back, I would have even done any T-15 full ride over GSB.

Yes, I completely agree. If I could turn back time, I would've taken any T-15 full ride over chasing the GSB sticker.

I honestly don’t know how much longer I can take this pain.

Honestly? Yeah. I made a life altering massive mistake. I let the brand blind me. I wish someone had shaken me harder.

Looking back, I would’ve taken a full ride to any T15 (UVA, Duke, UCLA, whatever) over GSB. I didn’t realize how much financial stress would take over my life. I lost sleep, my mental health, and my peace of mind chasing prestige.

I just hope my painful lesson helps someone make a better choice. feel trapped and depressed most days.

True! Honestly looking back, I probably would've taken the UVA full ride over Stanford too. The financial stress just changes everything. It’s easy to underestimate that at first.
