I've had admit offers from ISB, HKUST, and UNC Kenan Flagler and would appreciate advice. HKUST and UNC Kenan Flagler are offering about 25% of total cost in scholarship. ISB hasn't offered anything (yet).
Background: 7 years work experience as a litigating lawyer in India. POST MBA goal: strategy consulting, with long term goal being public sector consulting.
Ideally, I would like to work outside India (preferably the US). In all honesty, I do not see HKUST being a sustainable option, because of the language as well as my past experience/future goals. The political uncertainty doesn't help things either. I definitely think my profile would work in the US, however, is a 20 ranked US program a suitable way to enter an MBB for an 32 year old (at time of graduation) Indian male?

Congrats on your admit!
I agree about your evaluation of HKUST in terms of language and local recruiting. You would have to recruit in Asia elsewhere....
At the same time MBB Is a competitive industry and KF places a number of folks but it is a handful and probably 1-2 international students from KF since not all recruit internationals. I would say chances are low and would have a second back up option. Perhaps consulting but not MBB.
Either way I would agree with you about KF. I wonder if someone from KF can comment about recruiting consulting. woody93 - would you have any feedback?

Hi happy to help. Like bb said, recruiting for consulting is competitive everywhere. I can help out a bit on consulting at UNC this year. Historically, our top 2 have always been Deloitte and McKinsey. As someone recruiting for consulting at KF, I can speak to this years intern numbers from what I have ascertained thus far.
6-7 Deloitte (*Deloitte used to be 8-12 per class but they no longer sponsor internationals)
4-5 McKinsey (was a bit lower than last years 8-9)
2-3 Accenture
1-2 Simon Kutcher
2-3 PwC
1-2 Bain
1-2 BCG
1-2 ATK
1-2 ZS
These are pretty decent percentages given our small-ish class at 250. This is just from what I know so far and I am certain there are more. As an international, you have a few more hurdles to reach but with a high gmat, great casing, and good networking you can definitely do consulting from UNC.
