With a post-MBA aspiration to join top consulting firms like Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Co., I am weighing my options between FTMBA at Kenan-Flagler with no scholarship and a Management Science MBA at Carlson with a $30,000 per year scholarship.
While my primary goal is consulting, I acknowledge a potential shift towards finance during my MBA journey. Both schools report sending a significant number of graduates into consulting, but Kenan-Flagler has a stronger reputation in Finance. While Carlson's smaller class size may offer more personalized attention and support, Kenan-Flagler's larger class size could provide a broader network.
As an international student, I'm also curious about the influence of each school's brand name on my hiring prospects. After my inquiries with fellow international students, it seems that given sponsorship issues, it will be comparatively difficult for me to find a job. So, reputation-wise is Kenan-Flagler far better than Carlson or are they close? Could you guide whether the scholarship difference justifies choosing Carlson over Kenan-Flagler, considering both short-term financial implications and long-term career prospects, particularly in consulting and potentially finance? I aim to assess whether the $60,000 scholarship difference at Carlson is substantial enough to compensate for the ranking disparity between the two schools, or if the long-term benefits associated with Kenan-Flagler's superior brand name reputation outweigh the financial aspect.
Moreover, I seek insights into the location benefits of each school, considering factors such as proximity to major consulting and financial hubs, access to networking opportunities, and overall quality of life.
Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.

Hi Surabhi!
You have valid doubts about the school's brand name, international students' hiring, and trade-off regarding scholarship and ranking. Honestly, this space doesn't do good justcie when in comes to clearing doubts and questions related to repuation and brand of a B-School. I highly recommend that you to reach out to UNC's current 2nd year as well as 1st year International students on LinkedIn, especially students who have interned in the sectors you are aspiring to work in. This will provide you with a better perspective of the job market and hiring on the east coast.
Once you have data from UNC, please reach out to me to gain a perspective about Carlson School. I suggest starting with UNC because of its higher reputation on the East Coast and internationally.
Thank you,
Manu
