Gosh, I hate to tell people to leave money on the table!  J  But you will make that $60K back in three years if you get a GREAT MBA from UCLA.  $60K seems like a lot today, but five years from now it will be a drop in the bucket, as we say.  Go to UCLA!  You will make your money back, I assure you.

it suddenly came to me that Jon Frank has his own position in all the arguments he made. Since he was in the the admission consulting business, is it possible that he suggests everyone to apply to top business schools or say go to the best b school you can get in, but top b schools are very competitive, so you probably need to hire some admission consultant for your application? Maybe direct or indirect, he can win some businesses from his "free" advice.


Sorry Jon, I am just saying what I thought. You are a very nice guy.

You definitely made your point. I thought Jon always would go with the school that is ranked higher when we are debating between two schools. However, in my case, between Darden and UCLA-Anderson, Jon suggested Anderson to me considering my post-MBA goal when Darden has a higher ranking. So I think he doesn't simply vote for the "better" school. He must have considered other factors. I think for the whole time he tries to help us think from a long-term perspective. Don't only focus on how much money we get and how much money we spend right at this moment. But whether to take his suggestion will be our own decision. He is just giving another piece of opinion based on information he has. It seems he has more information than us though. At least, I believe he has better knowledge regarding the schools than I do.

That's a possibility. But if he says the other way around, maybe you'll think he is 'vicious' in some other way. Who knows?
Come on, it's an adult forum. People should have their own thoughts and be mature enough to avoid being manipulated.

right, that's why i just raised a question, not making a final judgement. I agree people should have their own thoughts. but even those who think themselves are mature enough got brain washed by some crafty people. an extreme case would be Shutter Island.


What I am calling for here is to think critically.
