Hello Everyone,
Long-time lurker here. I have been fortunate to receive admits from two T20 schools that have provided me the same $ amount. Just trying to expand my research and make an informed decision.
Profile: Indian, Male, Engineer with 4 years of experience in Analytics, 740 GMAT
Goal: Consulting (MBB or Big 4 MC) or Technology (Internal consulting or management roles in FAANG etc.)
Goizueta:
Stellar for consulting, at least Big 4
~35% International students and career services rep is solid
Not STEM certified
Kenan Flagler:
Not as good as Goizueta for consulting, but definitely more Tech presence
~17% International students and employment rate for Intls < 80% (Somewhat low)
STEM certified (Opportunity to extend my OPT by another 2 years which kinda helps offset the previous point)
I think both schools fit me well (Emory a tad bit better, after speaking with alumni), COA Similiar, opportunities similar, Emory big city advantage though for employment. If Consulting was my only preferred industry, Emory would be a no brainer. But I want the tech opportunities as well which is making the decision hard (Also the STEM tag).
I might have missed something in my research. So I Would greatly appreciate any additional info or points that would provide clarity!
And Happy to provide any more detail.
Thanks,
Gautham

Hey 1st year UNC MBA and happy to help. This time last year I was down to Kenan-Flagler vs Emory myself. Here was my process: yes Emory has the consulting advantage mainly due to the Atlanta presence. The thing with consulting is it’s tough anywhere you go. You’ll have to be a great networker and a great caser so I would not put all your eggs in the consulting basket. That is why I chose to attend UNC due to the strength of things besides consulting. We send grads to the same consulting firms (mainly in Atlanta anyways) but we have the benefit of being really solid in tech, finance and healthcare. Emory is a great school don’t get me wrong but you want to come to UNC to cast a wide net especially in tech. Also check out the employment report. Emory sends 60% to the south where as UNC sends grads everywhere. You can see yourself on the employment report. You can’t go wrong with either school but especially given scholarship money is the same, we send grads to same consulting firms Emory does in Atlanta AND we are much stronger in tech makes it a no brainer. Plus Atlanta is a $100 45-minute flight away and chapel hill is a neat place to be for 2 years. Good luck!

And yes, that is what makes the decision harder.
