I've been fortunate enough to get into both Kenan Flagler and McCombs. I thought this would be an easier decision (I was always leaning towards Texas) but have been struggling recently. I live in the Mid Atlantic, and I've had some reserves that going to UT might make it harder to return to the east coast if I decide that is what I want in the future. My focus is energy/entrepreneurship and I have a strong interest in Marketing. I received $10k to go to Texas, and was not offered any financial incentives from UNC. Is anybody facing a similar decision? They are both amazing schools, so I feel fortunate to be in this position. Just want to make the right move!!

The poll isn't working.
anyway, tough choice, they are both similarly ranked. For your goals of energy/entrepreneurship I think McCombs has the clear advantage. Actually they are among the top of any program for energy and entrepreneurship. But both schools are more regional in recruiting and placement, so McCombs typically places a majority of grads in the southwest whereas Kenan Flagler places typically in the mid atlantic which sounds like a benefit to you.
As far as the Austin vs Chapel Hill I'd definitely say Austin is a better place to spend your two years. The city is great. Are you wanting to live in the mid atlantic right after school, or just some time down the road?
Personally I'd pick Texas, especially with the bonus of the scholarship. You might have to do some footwork to get back to the mid-atlantic but I think their ties to the energy sector would be a huge benefit.

Thanks for your input. I'm not partial to the mid atlantic right after school, but I would like to have the flexibility to come back if I wanted to. It'd be a lot easier to do from UNC. I've lived in Austin before, and it was amazing, however I know realistically most students go elsewhere in the SW after business school. It'd be a fun two years in Austin, plus about $20k cheaper with the scholarship but definitely more regional with placement.
