<p>You would need four years at Berkeley so that is approx USD 220k versus three years at UMN for approx USD 90k. If you can get a job with that UMN degree, unless the USD 130k difference is chump change for your family, then go to UMN. USD 130k would cover much (if not all) of the cost of an eventual MBA.</p>
<p>You must certainly have your reasons, but I’ve got to ask: Why not just graduate from where you are, and then come to the US for that MBA in about six or seven years? Wouldn’t that be the route that makes the most financial sense?</p>
