Inspiration trumps institutional clout every time. You have to go somewhere you can believe in (and which believes in you). And some extra money sure don't hurt, either!<br /><br />I have more thoughts on this dichotomy and why I'm happier with my current grad school than if I'd gone to a top-ranked school, if you want to hear them.<br /><br />XOXO to you and Petra (power couple!) from the left coast,<br />MaricMaric Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070525549703389003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-844644389845638935.post-16453528492661775362011-03-28T22:25:58.257-04:002011-03-28T22:25:58.257-04:00Erika, you're already awesome and powerful and...Erika, you're already awesome and powerful and you don't need school's branding to help you achieve that.

If you have a connection to the school, it will be much easier to do the work, because you want to be there. And your awesomeness will overcome any name advantage that NYU could give you.

I went to a newer grad program, and while they didn't have a phenomenal alum network, they did help their alums a lot-- there was a lot of job coaching, resume reading, etc. Honestly, you have the Smith network, you'll be fine.<br />4. More money = less debt. BIG PLUS.<br />5. Honestly, the fact that I have an MBA matters more than where I got it from. I mean, the name helps, but the degree itself is key.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-844644389845638935.post-17472017629190197282011-03-24T15:46:29.952-04:002011-03-24T15:46:29.952-04:00I agree with Athene - go with your heart!

You'll make great connections either way (and you already have a ton of connections, too!), and you're already great at finding opportunities to do what you love doing. <br /><br />Best of luck in grad school!
