HBS admit - 65-70% aid (tuition only) or MBB sponsorship (full tuition and rent). What would you pick? Long term goals don’t involve being at MBB and want to try getting into VC. Have enough savings / stocks that I can liquidate to cover the remaining 30-35% that aid wont cover. Will take loan for “day to day spending” (60-80K) on top of that. International student (Asian). Thank you for your help! Happy to repay the favour if you have any questions (dm me) about HSW apps / MBB (pre/post MBA).
