I am stuck between Tepper and Mendoza. They are both great schools and I love them both. Tepper has a stronger location + career pathways and ND has the ethical aspect woven into the program + really strong alumni base.

My post MBA plans will be either product or strategy in the short term, while pursuing entrepreneurship in the long run.

Both are full rides (tuition wise) or very little out of pocket tuition costs. COL is similar in both places.
