Hi everyone, hoping to get some wisdom here. Got accepted to Darden, McDonough, Stern and Cornell EMBA program and having a hard time deciding on which program. Given my employer will be covering costs, I will be going back there for two years (M&A consulting) and potentially pivoting into investing. Any advice on which program I should pick?
