Hi all,
I am looking for some insight/advice regarding my decision between these two schools.
Background: I have 5+ years of work experience in the Automotive Tech industry (i.e. Software for Cars).
International (Indian) applicant. Computer Science undergrad.
Post-MBA
Primary: I am looking to go into Product Management roles at a large tech company such as Amazon, Google or Microsoft.
Secondary: I'm also interested in entrepreneurship, and I'm currently working on a FinTech idea that is in the validation stage.
Kelley: Offering scholarship of $45k/year + Insurance :: Equivalent to 85% of Tution Cost :: Remaining Cost of Attendance is $68,000
UNC Kenan-Flagler: Offering scholarship of $50k/year :: Equivalent to 75% of Tution Cost :: Remaining Cost of Attendance is $90,000
With Kelley,
Pros
+ Great Marketing School
+ Much Cheaper. Could graduate with little debt
+ Very responsive Admin, Alumni, and Current Students
Cons
- Middle of nowhere
- Slightly lower rankings (23 vs 20 for UNC Kenan-Flagler)
With Kenan-Flagler, I'm concerned about the recent debate about a lack of support for international students and poor international recruitment outcomes.
- The Research Triangle location - How helpful is this for students looking for Tech PM jobs?
- Will I have to travel a lot for networking and recruiting events because of the location? How much of a hassle will this be?
Both schools seem to be somewhat similar in terms of tech placement after graduation, so how much do overall rankings matter (Kenan-Flagler being higher in the rankings than Kelley)?
Any insight into these two programs would be much appreciated!
Hope your suggestions would help me navigate my dilemma.
Moreover, I am also Waitlisted after the interview in Round 1 at Foster. (I am trying hard to convert)

Congratulations on your admits.
The most recent GMATClub FT MBA Rankings = https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-club-mb ... l#p2814088
2021 Financial Aid Consideration Curve = https://gmatclub.com/forum/picking-a-sc ... 58227.html
Both tools MAY help provide some context for both schools (and their costs) vs. Foster.
Hopefully that will help. Good luck!
PS - To read this, the FACC would indicate that IF UNC-KF were to give you no scholarship that Kelley would have to give a full ride to make the drop a financially tough decision (absent other, potentially important considerations)
It would also indicate you should be willing to pay more to attend Foster than UNC-KF ... by an amount equal to approx. 20% of the cost to attend Foster (added to what you'd pay to attend UNC-KF).
