Hi, looking to make this decision VERY soon. I've already paid the tuition deposits for UNC-KF (between 1-2k), when suddenly Kelley came out of the blue and offered me a Graduate Assistantship of about 40% of my tuition. Looking into strategy/consulting going forward. I have no preference in terms of geographical placement post-graduation, but I do have some family in North Carolina as opposed to nobody near Indiana. My debt upon graduation would be in the realm of 100k for UNC-KF, and 60k for Kelley. Any advice would be great, especially on the job placement/prestige/consulting career opportunities front.
Congrats for admission. Both schools are amazing.
UNC has more access to prestigious consulting firms MBB. For example: BCG has rep office in campus. While Kelley grads go mostly to second tier such as Deloitte and Accenture.
