Hi,
Hoping I can get some feedback and opinions of what you would do in my situation.
I had a great interview at Kenan-Flagler and have a good feeling going into Feb. 1 due to my unique profile and general vibes I got from the staff. So lets say I get in net week. This is my issue. I applied to Questrom (BU) as a backup and was admitted with a very generous scholarship that would allow me to pay for the balance of tuition out of pocket. As for my career goals: I want to go into healthcare marketing/ consulting and eventually move into a social impact startup a little down the road. Though both have focuses in these specialties I know that UNC is a MUCHHHHH better program overall and within these concentrations. That being said with the option of going to school for free versus incurring 120K in debt on top of previous 50K undergrad/ masters debt the "free ride" becomes very appealing. Also both schools have similar starting salaries (100K vs 105K). SO is it worth the 120K? I visited UNC and know the resources available and the amazing opportunities that can present by attending a program of that caliber bring value but once again I am hung up on the debt part.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Lastly im posting this because I will find out Feb.1 from UNC and only have until Feb. 3 to commit to BU. So there is a very small window.

Hi,
College 'brand' always matters. Don't be short sighted and go for the option that benefits you in long run i.e. UNC. Debt pressure will be gone in 3-4 years but you wont have a regret about it.
Hope it helps!

Keep in mind that as a UNC student you can take electives at Fuqua, which has an awesome health focus. So it's really BU vs. UNC with a dash of Fuqua.
