Kellogg vs Anderson ($$)

Happy and grateful to have the choice. 2/3rds scholarship at Anderson.

Key points: - International student - Background in M&A at a small shop, no industry focus. - Goals post MBA are pretty general, open to consulting (strong, strong preference to MBB if so), tech (PM/strategy/etc), LDP's - whoever will sponsor me. - Want to stay in US post MBA, no US geographic preference (I'll go where I land a job). - Cost is a large factor in my decision going over. I'm aware that it's getting harder for international students to securing post-US employment. Prepared to hustle to get what I want, but aware that money off the table today takes away some downside risk should job market tank.

Any and all advice appreciated. Interested what people see as the cash break point for the old motto "Attend the best school you get into".
