thanks Ankur... how would you rank IIM lucknow in comparison to UNC?
This is strictly my personal opinion, nothing more. I would say, curriculum-wise IIMs do come close to what any decent school outside India would offer. However, the differentiating factor would be the network and nature of job opportunities post the degree. For starters, those archaic laws should first be dropped so that IIMs can award MBA instead of PG Diploma!

Hey guys, congrats to all who got admitted!
I got admitted without scholarships, so I have a question to those who did get them - did you talk about it with the adcom? was there any point at your application process that you discussed it with someone from the school?
I didn't want to talk about it because I thought it wouldn't be a good sign, and I'm thinking now whether I should have been more active asking for a scholarship.

Good luck to everyone!

I never mentioned it to the adcom. I didn't really have any interaction with the adcom outside of my interview, though I did chat with one of the student ambassadors quite a bit. Even in those conversations I tried to stay away from talking about the money.

Hi All -

I may be a little late to the punch on this, but is it appropriate to ask the scholarship committee to reconsider your scholarship status? I received a scholarship offer for approx. $15k/year (for which I am extremely greatful), but I am beginning to feel like that would need to be significantly higher for me to decide on KF, based on offers from other schools. Thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Although, you may try it, Darden and Duke are almost peers to KFBS so 15$k/year is a good scholarship to bridge so small gap between almost peer schools.
If you were accepted to H/S/W and KF, well, yes you could have asked, otherwise, I would not.

Please don't get me wrong....but are you smoking pot? KFBS is a peer school of Duke & Darden? Seriously? Haven't read anything as hilarious as this.

Actually Occult, based on the rankings...
Businessweek - Duke #1, UNC #12, UVA #20
Forbes - Duke #8, UNC #11, UVA #15
US News - Duke #14, UNC #19, UVA #11

This is not to say that UNC is better or worse than Duke and UVA, but I think it's reasonable to deem them peer schools (especially UVA).

I know there is at least a facebook group. Go to your admitted students portal and there is a link on the left hand side that says "Connect with Your Classmates." This points you to a handful of sites.

thank you for making this point.
Yes, according to rankings Darden is close to UNC.
As for Duke, almost all employers who come to Duke Fuqua, also visit UNC KF.
UNC KF is a little bit lower in rankings so, as I said $15k per year may compensate this gap. However everyone makes his own choice.

In, with no $. The 'fellowship decision' page says that there is a chance additional funds may be available (or something to that effect). Does anyone know what the timeframe would look like on that?


Same here. Accepted Indian applicant with no $. How long do we have to make a decision? I cannot make a decision until I get a final confirmation about the fellowship.

Website wait 7-10 days after admit decision. So I think we've got a bit of waiting to do.

Chiming in after quite some time!

Congrats all R2 admits! Many of you will undergo a fair amount of stress choosing one school over another and some of you will wait in anticipation of a better offer - relax, in the end, everything will fall in place regardless of what your decision is going to be.

A few of you will have more or less decided on joining KFBS - welcome to the club! I will see you soon! :)

Hi Guys,

I was admitted without $
Is it still possible for them to give out $ afterwards? (without me emailing them)

Yes it is still possible, but it isn't something you should expect. Emailing and asking for some funding is the most likely way to get funding, but keep in mind that everyone wants more funding and they probably won't be able to award much more until their class starts to take shape closer to the mid-April deposit deadline. I know at least one person who matriculated and was later awarded funding.
