What's your definition of good w/e, big 4? big MC/IB? big MNC? I don't think so.
B-School needs diversities, various backgrounds. At least I have five years of int'l exposure in Lation America and CIS region.I'd like to be the unique element of my class.
Interesting discussion...The more you think about the value of the MBA in advance, the more value you will get during the process...
Just add two personal opinions:
1) Scholarship is being used more as a marketing vehicle. I am not saying it's good or bad. But it definitely doesn't mean that you are "better" than others...everyone is unique and has its own value to the community...
2) Opportunity cost also includes time. In other words, there could be a difference of impact to your career/life between you doing it this year and next year...Plus, there are rich people and poor people in the same class. You won't feel special (and lonely...)
