Tuck vs Wharton-Lauder
I've been admitted to Tuck and the Wharton-Lauder program. I'm admittedly drawn towards Wharton-Lauder for prestige reasons, but the thought of going $220K+ in debt if I attend Wharton-Lauder terrifies me big time. The Wharton-Lauder program is a Joint MBA /MA in International Business Management,...
