Does having a full scholarship carry any clout in recruiting? I.e. if I choose a T20 school with a full scholarship does having that scholarship on the resume have any pull for getting interviews during the program vs a slightly higher ranked one?

Made a big difference for me - I chose a full ride for a top 10 rather than going to “number 1” for my graduate degree in public policy. B school *may* be different but understand that your perspective on prestige, “exits” etc etc will morph the more years you’re in the workforce - the opportunity cost of indebtedness will not.

I received a named scholarship from a T15 and have been told by the current students in that cohort that it is really helpful in the recruiting process for consulting, IB, and other big recruiting paths. I would assume less so for less structured recruiting paths
