<p>Please let me thank everyone for their helpful input. Happymom, after reading that story, I am not too surprised by that outcome. I just wonder if my situation is different due to the fact that I am focused on getting a strong job straight out of school? My advisors have already told me that I would be a strong candidate for law school (what I used to want) and grad school, but that is not the path that I would like to take. I am more interested in working before heading to an MBA program rather than jumping straight into a graduate degree. I know that going to a “better” school will present me with a broader gamut of opportunities, I am just not sure if that is worth the 50k spent in those last two years of school. A thought I have had is that those last two years at 50k combined with my first two years being so inexpensive would come out to the equivalent of 4 years at a state school for the sticker price, would anyone else consider this a valid justification haha?</p>
