Which MBA? George Washington vs. Washington University (Olin)

[zpmba]

I am strongly considering both schools. By most accounts, Wash U is the better school academically. I have received a half-tuition scholarship at GW but no scholarship at Wash U. So how much better is Wash U than GWU? Is it worth (roughly) $25,000 more in tuition per year?

I am looking to go into finance (possibly investments or microfinance), but I am unsure exactly what I want to do. I know after working a few more years I would like to get a Ph.D. at the best school possible. Any input would be a great help.

anyone?

I went to WashU undergrad. The only thing I can say is that while Olin has high job placement, I think that they suffer from being located in the midwest. Try to visit or at least talk to people on the phone.
