This probably means that WPI is allocating a disproportionately large amount of resources into its part time MBA program compared to other schools. Not to say WPI business is poor but when you compare WPI’s full time MBA and undergraduate business programs to other schools (BU, Babson, UMass), it lags behind. </p>
<p>Besides, I think UG business is overrated. Going to WPI UG and Harvard/MIT business school down the line (if you can get in) would be a great idea. Engineering/science undergrad prepares one for a management career; I don’t think it works the other way. </p>

WPI does give out good aid to many students but it admits many students with very poor aid. These statistics include unsubsidized/subsidized federal loans as financial aid. That being said, if he becomes a National Merit Scholar and selects WPI as his first choice, it means a guaranteed fairly good scholarship. Not many other good schools really care too much for this.</p>
