I got accepted to Questrom (FT MBA) and waitlisted at Jones. Note: Applied to round 3.
Question: Should I accept Questrom (with a 10K / year scholarship) or reapply in round 1?
Issue: Financial burden imposed from having to take a 140K loan and time to pay off.
My profile: Female, 40+ yrs old
BS, MS, PhD in Life sciences; MS, PHD: from top 10 US school in the specific area (Not overall)
Postdoc top 10 US school
Work experience: 3+ yrs biotech
GRE: have yet to take (due to the crisis); (planning to take at home)
GMAT: took once, 530 (had technical issues during test), decided to prep for GRE instead bc believe it will showcase my abilities better.
What would you do? I am very stressed out about the huge loan I will need to take out and the length of time (approximate 10yrs) to pay off.
