What is/was your net worth going into an MBA?

Is doing a term exchange at HEC Paris considered impressive? Or what program in Europe is the strongest on resume?

One pattern I keep seeing. Organizations become slower as they become more politically careful. Too many decisions start optimizing for internal comfort instead of external relevance.

Should I go Booth (no scholarship) this year or reapply to my Targets (Wharton, HBS, MIT) next year. Got dinged from all the second time. Are these even achievable with the stats below: 29M, GRE 325 (can try improving to 330), 8 YoE in Big4 Transaction Advisory (currently AD/SM), two quick promotions (SC->M and M->AD), 3.7 GPA from a 200-ranked school, CPA, international experience in 2 countries.

Is an MBA from Tuck worth it with a full-tuition scholarship?
