Admit to UIUC

hey all..

posting after a loooong time..
Just wanted to have some advice from all u guys there..
I got an admit to UIUC.. no news about scholarship yet..
Consider no aid, what to u guys think? Is it worthwhile spending so much on an MBA from UIUC???
Any feedback you may have for this B-school is most welcome..

I think ...going to any B-school, you gotta be ready to spend

so just check for the program/university and the future career opportunities after graduation..

From my computer science perspective, if UIUC (ranked #4 or something like that for computer science) offered me admission for their MS in CS, I would probably decline unless I could probably get a TA/RA/GA position by the second semester.

This is because being tied down having to pay large student loans can be even more limiting than not having a graduate degree:
