Re: Kenan-Flagler 2016 Class - Calling all Admitted Students!! [#permalink]
I'm seriously considering this school. It suits my interest in Pharma/biotech management and marketing.
But I'm still expecting scholarship compensations from UNC.

Expecting? With a 730 GMAT and only an average GPA? What makes you so confident?

A PhD degree, memberships of some academic societies...... etc. I guess.
Besides, Chinese top universities tend to provide a lower GPA. I was recommended to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Graduate School because of my GPA already.
I got a 3.8 GPA for my PhD, though. It's easier to get a higher GPA in the US schools system. Here you don't have those mandatory politics and College English courses which draw my GPA from 3.8 to 3.55. :-D And I found the admission officers in KFBS are aware of this situation.

It's a very different criteria. Let's see if these counts. If there is nothing in the package, I guess that's fine.
Forgive me for my overconfidence please, I'm sure that my recommendation providers include this in my recommendation letter. :-D

That is impressive! I wish you lots of luck - if I wind up at K-F, I'd want someone with that profile in class with me!

I was just curious that how many had got an email from Kenan Flagler that their academic history places them in the range of students who get fellowships.
I though most of the 700+ scorers got that mail but no one talks about it.

My score is 750. I never got such mail. That's bad, I guess.

I remember that bit. I thought you received some mail after the results. But yeah, I had completely forgotten about that part. I feel little reassured and I hate that feeling. :|

Apart from 750 in GMAT, I have nothing extra special in my profile. It'll be 36 months in coming july for me in Oil & Gas sector Indian PSU. My GPA is horrendous.
