Seriously nothing?

Dear All, I am a MS in Marketing applicant from India, who has three years of work experience in B2B marketing specifically in the telecommunications Industry. I have recently been admitted into two prestigious programs: Texas A&M, MS in Marketing : With scholarship and residentship CoA is $ 22k Northwestern Medill IMC Program: No scholarships, CoA is $ 122K I love Medill IMC's vibrant class profile, course-work and brilliant faculty- pioneers of Mrktg...But at the same time it hard to access whether it is worthwile to invest in such an expensive program(solely will be relying on loans, this economy, is that reliable?) which has more of a B2C focus. My main objective is to study math marketing principles and application of such models. While Medill IMC is data driven, TAMU course seems to have more of an overall marketing concentration with focus on consulting projects. Quite confused. Please input your thoughts?

Everyone I know feel blessed to be accepted into the program. Highly rigorous one year of study but extremely gratifying...

I am planning to call them tonight and check status. God Speed an admit!

I applied for early admission and am yet to hear from them, Just got a mail saying the app is complete and they are starting the round of reviews in consult with their professors etc. Though the website says they get back by early march, the alumni says she heard from them only by april. Its gonna be a long wait. Sigh. You applied elsewhere?

Hey, I have applied to the program as well. I got in touch with a former student, she tells me that the student pool is a mixed crowd with some having extensive work ex and the rest joining directly from their undergrad. SoP seems to be one of the key admission criteria along with the resume. As for job prospects, most students have an academic interest and pursue their PHD post this Masters course. For the rest, the course does seem to open doors every where. Hope this helps. All the best.
