Should I keep it a secret that I got into a deferred b-school program?

I'm currently looking at lateral opportunities at other consulting firms and I'm wondering if it's worth bringing this up since I come from a non-target school. If I do I was planning on weaving in how I'm looking to get sponsored for my MBA (which is true) so people don't think I'm a flight risk.

It amuses me to see that -
Companies sumtym prefer selecting guys who did their bachelor's from some private shitpot college than someone from a very good government college.

If someone has showed grit in past by toiling to get into top 10 colleges - he is going to give company better results in operational efficiency and creativity than a guy who scored 50-60% and spend lakhs for admission without any struggle?

HR guys -do u evn know hw much struggle that is? Do you factor dat in ur decision?

Is pursuing a part-time Masters worth the 60k price?
