How Much Will You Need to Borrow

“You get what you pay for.”

Wondering about that axiom’s validity? Look no further than a 2014 study by the New America Foundation, which found the average b-student debt stood around $42,000. But who wants to attend an average school?

Still, applicants are bound to shudder at these numbers: $118,100(Wharton), $102,968 (Darden), $91,834 (Kellogg). What do these numbers represent? They are the average debt burdens you can expect at graduation from these schools. Here’s a surprise: Harvard Business School students actually leave with less debt than Thunderbird grads. However, only 45 percent of Thunderbird grads leave with any debt at all.

Last March, Poets&Quants crunched the numbers, calculating the average debt loads at the top 35 schools. Not to mention, we included the percentage of graduates who left with debt, along with charting the increase (and sometimes decrease) in average debt at these schools.
