Kenan (no $) vs Olin ($$$) 14 Mar 2020, 10:23

I have an offer from Kenan with no $. I have a $100000 scholarship from Olin and have been designated a Forte Fellow.
I am interested in a career in retail ( corporate strategy)
It does seem that Olin has comparable placements. Would appreciate inputs from anybody who’s looked at both schools.
Thank you.

Both are in same tier. I would take the money and move one. The international aspect (regardless of Corona virus) in Olin's MBA is really interesting. Also, the consulting path will help you a lot as it will help you in corporate strategy.

The difference in ranking is not that significant. Given your interest in Retail, Olin makes more sense to me.
Best of luck with your choice.

I would not say that Olin and UNC KF are in the same tier.... but the $100,000 makes a big statement.... I will poke around the employment reports to see any red flags but for now Olin would be the more attractive option.

Olin and UNC are not in the same tier. UNC is clearly a tier above Olin. That being said money is not negligible. The employment report is stronger at UNC and is much less regional than Olin.
