LBS MiM (52k GBP) vs. Bayes MSc Finance (Free Tuition)

Hi all,

I'm 28yo with 2 years experience FP&A at JNJ. 

I've been admitted to Bayes Business School with full tuition covered via scholarship, and admitted to LBS MiM but have to assume full (52k GBP) tuition.

My goal is to break into IB/MBB consulting upon graduation, either in London, USA (I'm a US Citizen) and GCC (also GCC citizen).

Help me decide. I'm currently debt-free with decent savings. Does it make sense career-wise to go into debt and upgrade brand name from Bayes to LBS? What would you do in my case?

no brainer? ill recoup the tuition and then some vs. bayes for free?

I'm leaning heavily to just doing lbs. I just wanna make sure I'm not making an emotional decision.
