With the school I go to now, I know I won't be making $90,000 as a starting salary. But it will be significantly more than what I was making before, and that (along with the great feeling of having earned my MBA) will be good enough for me.

You're right, Alum, the most important part to me is having the degree and getting into the type of positions and projects that I love sinking my teeth into. But, I am also going to try to get into those schools because I might as well, right? We'll see. I ahd a really, really good undergrad GPA from a very good school, so I am hoping if I can pull off the GMAT, too...
also, I really want to go to school full-time, so I may be able to move, but you bring up a good point about the family part. I currently have a boyfriend in NorCal that is not happy about the thought of me going anywhere but near there. So, I could do Berkeley or Stanford, which are no slouches! But, I kinda want to go experience other parts of the world. I really want to look at Columbia and MIT and Duke and Penn. Geez! That's about my life story...sorry to go off so long, but it is interesting to see someone who is wrestling with some of the same issues. Where do you go to B-school if you don't mind and how is it going? I would love to hear about your experiences and any recommendations you have for me!
