yep, it says that you book your seat and later you might be considered. ( it is a generic message and I wont accord much value to it )

As much respected Kenan is , I am afraid I will have to relinquish my seat in case there is no further development on the schol issue.

Same with me. I have full schol from Boston University and Penn State (Smeal) as of now. I have an admit without fellowship at KF. Confused :|

No call, no email, and no update to the portal. Don't know what to think.

Just to double check, where is the decision visible on the portal?

Thanks! Congrats to all the admits!

Solid app, kickass interview, not too shabby GMAT.
And yet a ding! Wow.
Thanks for the life lesson, KF!

I feel your pain.

Just had the conversation where I had to tell my boss (a well-respected K-F alum) that I was straight-up dinged. So painful and slightly embarrassing. Time to move on...

FROM Kenan- Flagler Admissions Blog: MBA Mom

“How do you do it?”

As an MBA student and mom of two daughters under the age of 4, I’m asked that question a lot.

When I started school in August 2012, my youngest was only 4 months old. I decided to go back to school for my daughters, Graelyn (now 3 years old) and Elcie (almost 2 years old). I want them to see through my actions how much our family values education and what you can achieve through hard work. I’m not getting my MBA despite of my children. I’m getting it because of them.

So when I’m asked, “How do you do it?” or someone declares, “I don’t know how you manage — I’m barely getting by!” I explain that I share the feeling of just getting by some days and I “do it” by treating business school like a job — a job with really long hours, but a job nonetheless.

I could not do what I’m doing without my husband Mike. Having his support, choosing the right school, making tough decisions about where to devote my time, and relying on my community allow me to be successful on this incredible, tough and all too short journey through business school.


School selection. When applying to and visiting schools, I knew I wanted a collaborative, supportive environment. I believe learning in such a place and surrounding myself with the type of students that uplift and encourage each other will allow me to be most successful, both while in school and long afterwards with a strong network. I found that culture in abundance at UNC Kenan-Flagler. From the beginning with my study group of six people, representing four countries and six different career paths, to classmates offering to review material outside of class, I knew I chose the right school to support me to excel.

Strategic choices. UNC Kenan-Flagler offers amazing and numerous opportunities for leadership from the first year through to graduation. Many people talk about FOMO, or fear of missing out, in business school. But the best way I’ve found to shine is to recognize my time limits and strategically choose leadership positions that fit my talents and interests. I find this provides the best way to give my all and follow through on all of my responsibilities without overcommitting.

Supportive community. Beyond the collaborative, supportive nature of UNC Kenan-Flagler in study groups and inside the halls of the McColl Building, that culture spills over into every aspect of the business school community. We are all genuinely friends, and I know I can count on every one of my classmates for anything I need. From introducing me to recruiters at prospective companies to watching my kids for my husband and me to enjoy date night, the UNC Kenan-Flagler community goes above and beyond.


Some may not want the “parent” label while in business school, preferring to be known for what they bring as a professional. What I appreciate most about UNC Kenan-Flagler is that I do not have to wear one label or only be known for only one aspect of who I am.

Instead I’m respected for the experience I bring to school, for my contributions to the classroom and my study teams, for my friendship and for being a parent outside of school.

It wasn’t a mistake that UNC Kenan-Flagler was the only school I applied to where there were other moms when I visited. UNC Kenan-Flagler proves itself time and again to be a great place for people with diverse interests, experience, backgrounds and lives outside of school. It truly sets everyone up for success.

Congrats! I'll be there; staying at a friend's place (grad student at Duke, lives in Durham). I'll be arriving Thursday night and leaving sometime Sunday afternoon, making the drive from PA. Fiance has an interview with a marketing consultancy firm on Friday at 11, and we're going to try and find some time to scope out the housing situation too. Intent is to make some inroads re: housing and her job situation while we're down there to make the absolute most of the weekend.

I'll be there as well. Can't wait! Luckily for me my parents live relatively close so I'll be able to stay with them for the weekend. However, I will definitely be scoping out housing of my own for when the term starts.
