Kind of nervous about the debt side of this. Tuition is one thing, but then you add cost of living and two years out of the workforce. I keep wondering if the ROI really works out if you’re not gunning for consulting or banking.

Same. Honestly my plan is to apply and see if I get in and if I’m lucky enough to get scholarships THEN decide if I can handle the debt.

Maybe not the best use of my time but you never know what schools are looking for so I think it’s worth it to spend the time studying for GRE/GMAT + applying.
