Congrats to all admitted applicants! :-D

Mine's a ding. There goes my $165! Kinda expected the outcome after my app was updated once on 3/9/2012 with no more activities after that. I am sharing this for the benefit of future applicants to the program - if you notice that your status keeps changing, it is a sure sign that you are in. If you get only a single update before everybody else in the same cycle, that is a bad sign and you gotta be mentally prepared for the worst.

I am glad I have an admit in hand so this ding doesn't hurt that much. The only thing I was really upset with was how my interview went. :( I had an interview with a UNC alumnus who suggested meeting at a pub (yes, of all places!). There was no way I could concentrate with the ruckus around me and was unable to hear myself on many occasions. I had suggested a quieter place previously but my suggestion was turned down by the alum. I thought of writing to the adcom post-interview but decided let the matter rest, so as not to get the alum into trouble. In some ways, I was also saddened by my own interaction with the alum as I had expected to meet someone a lot more impressive. Afterall, an alum is supposed to be a good representation of how the school is like! For reapplicants and new applicants, please insist on a quiet place to hold your interview as it will have a bearing on the outcome of your app and your perception of the school. Mine was an unfortunate incident and I would like to share it publicly with the gmatclub community so that we can all learn from it.

Sorry to hear about your bad interview experience. I'm sure you'll do just fine with the other school you mentioned.

About the 'update' theory, mine was also last updated on 3/9/2012 and I was accepted.

Don't sweat it too much man. I dunno if you saw my post, but I got "Heismaned" by UNC two years ago, and this year got an admit. Congrats on getting an admit though to another school!

I think UNC has a superior real estate program especially R.E. development. If that's your main criterion.

drew031482
I'm in as well.

This is bittersweet for me considering I got a big fat goose egg for acceptances when I applied to programs 2 years ago.

Question for each of you - I'm interested in Real Estate Development, and I applied to Ross (Michigan), Kenan-Flager, and Owen (Vanderbilt). I was waitlisted at Ross, accepted now at Kenan Flagler, and was given some money at Owen - which would you choose?

I'd prefer to end up somewhere on the east coast, including the SE. Thoughts?

Agree with tsiria. UNC has one of the better programs in the country as far as RE development is concerned. The UNC RE club is one of the most involved student clubs on campus i.e. you get a lot of opportunities to interact and meet with industry professionals and this is critical especially since RE is pretty much a relationship-based industry. Prof Dave Hartzell is also a key driving force behind the RE program at UNC. You'll definitely stand to gain by going to KFBS, if RE is your career choice. There isn't a RE concentration at Ross - you can only take a RE certificate program, and even though they have top schools in architecture and urban planning, RE is still not a strength for Ross for the time being, though they are definitely working on it. I don't know much about Owen so I can't help you out with Owen.

If you are serious about a RE career and want to end up on the east coast, have you considered a master's program in real estate? Cornell has a great RE program, in case you are keen.

My advice is, if $ is not an issue for you, go for the best school you can get into. The brand of the school and strength of the program matter a lot when you are applying for jobs. All the best !

Slumdog, man...looks like your on the up & up about all these programs.

I have thought about a MRED degree. In fact, one of my former clients went through MIT's program, and I've talked about my career aspirations with him. However, since I already have one specialized degree, I think an MBA would complement that better, though it's still potentially an option.

Touching on your point about UNC, I met with David Hartzell a few years back and everyone I have met sings his praises. Additionally, I have a friend or two in the program right now. However, since I do already have some contacts within the industry - on the opposite side of the table - do you believe that it would really help that much? Right now I'm really focused about my ROI (back in 2008, Architecture and development was hit super hard), and if that ever happens again, I really would like to have as little debt as possible.

No information about scholarship or financial aid though!
What information did the previous admits receive with financial decision? Was there any mention of scholarship being declared at a later date in the admission offer email?

They send out the scholarship information about a week after the results. There have been cases where calls are made to exceptional candidates by KFBS and the scholarship details are revealed.

I am in too..! :)

Congrats to all admitted students :)
Guys,

I have a question for you.
I do not see any $$ information in my decision information page.
Does this mean that I will not get any $$ or can I expect this information in the admission packet.

Thanks for your response.
