Those who don’t come from wealthy families, how do you stomach paying a house down payment for tuition? I’m just worried I won’t be able to own a place well into my 40s

This is why I did part time. Have you considered part time? You have a manager title, so you seem to be more ahead in your career than the typical FT student. If you have a good 6 figure salary, it’s pretty easy to pay a large amount of your MBA tuition during the program

I did look at Kellogg. I got into Chicago Booth, Northwestern Kellogg, Berkeley Haas, and NYU Stern. Only applied to those 4. I wanted to go to an M7 so I didn’t consider attending Haas or Stern. I picked Booth as I found that Booth has a larger alumni network in PE than Kellogg. I was more impressed with Booth’s resources for finance, ETA, and PE. Booth is arguably the best school for finance and economics (when talking from an academic perspective, obviously HSW place better). I also liked the location of their downtown campus a lot. I’m currently taking 3 courses a quarter. Will graduate in 7 quarters so actually faster than FT (you should figure out how many classes you can handle. My course load is heavy and most people wouldn’t consider taking as many at once. I find memorizing things fairly easy so I don’t have to study much. Different people’s mileage will vary). My company is not sponsoring.

How old are you?

30

ugh the kids from wealthy families don’t know how lucky they were!!!

You can be eligible for some decent scholarships at schools if you have test scores at / above their average!
