Hello,
Hope you are doing well.
The situation I am in is that I applied for a prestigious scholarship and thankfully I was selected. But since I have to make a university choice quite early and with a limited number of 3 Universities.
So I received an offer from an MBA from Bath, alongside Nottingham and Liverpool. Bath is offering a good scholarship to complete as well. In May 2019 I applied for Warwick MBA and I ended up receiving an offer as well as a good scholarship, but since I did not list it in my initial choices for the full scholarship, they did not accept changing the scholarship to Warwick. Eventually if I choose to go this year, I will go to Bath with full scholarship.
Do you think it would be worth it to defer one year, still I would be risking the full scholarship as I would need to reapply and would not guarantee a place, or is BATH combined with a prestigious scholarship good enough? If so what can I do in parallel to improve my profile. I am by the an Electrical Engineer, and hold a Masters degree in Legal and Financial Engineering that I completed part-time, and I have 6 years of experience in an Electricity Utility.
Best regards,
MBA difficult choice

Warwick would be far and away a better option, and worth the cost of either deferring for one year or making up the rest of the cost yourself or through a loan.

I think this really hinges on your career goals. If Bath's 'footprint' matches yours, then perhaps it's a stronger choice. And if entrepreneurship is a possibility, then you have more choices without debt. But for traditional, major, corporate MBA roles Warwick will be a better investment for most students, even if Bath has a full scholarship.

Thank you, for you advice Larry and Duncan. I would be opting for Bath. They also seem to have strong ambition to grow and develop. New Building and infrastructures on the way.
All the best,
