TULANE vs PEPPERDINE vs WILLAMETTE MBA program ??????

Hi Friends,

I have received admits from Tulane ( AB Freeman -30% scholarship), Pepper-dine (Graziadio School: 16000$ scholarship) & Willamette ( Atkinson's school: 40 % scholarship).

I am working from last 7 years in the defence communication & C4I systems research and development with L&T. I have experience in product development, installation & commissioning, testing, delivery & formulating bids and proposals for defence RFI's. Presently working on two major make programs of Indian defence TCS & BMS.

Post MBA, I wish to work in Strategy or Business development with a global technology company or companies catering to defence segment.

I have the following queries: 1) Which school is the best option? 2) With the amount of scholarships received and investment I will do , what will be my ROI as an international student. 3) I have GRE-302 (Q152,V150), GPA:3.8, do I need to think of taking a drop and try for GMAT next year.

You feedback will be of immense help to me. Thank you so much!

Warm Regards, Vinay
