Here's my dilemma....I've been admitted to UNC's Kenan-Flagler with no fellowship, and Vanderbilt's Owen with a $15k / year scholarship. My business school focus is far from typical; I am most interested in sustainability and social impact within business operations and global supply chains, specifically in the realm of coffee / chocolate / raw food materials exports. Target companies include Mars, Inc., Ben & Jerry's (owned by Unilever), UNFI (United Natural Foods), or similar. Neither school is recruited hard by Unilever, though both have alumni connections at Mars, inc., and I feel confident that a self-directed career search could get me in the door with UNFI or anywhere else.
UNC has an entire office (Center for Sustainable Enterprise) devoted to sustainability within business, and an academic concentration with coursework as well as independent projects, and it also has a Net Impact chapter.
Owen has a Net Impact chapter, and one professor I've found (though I haven't reached out to). They don't really have anything comparable to KFBS's Center for Sustainable Enterprise or relevant courses to take, though I am sure I could take some courses through their other academic programs to flesh things out.
As a minor note--I was waitlisted at Ross, where their dual master's program through the Erb Institute kicks major butt for my focus. I predict I will be ultimately denied, though.
Anyone? Thoughts? Advice?

Jay,
I am actually doing the same type thing. I had offers from cornell, unc and duke nad chose vanderbilt for a multitude of reasons. Mostly I want to start a company and having less debt made my decision really easy. I would say the two schools are very similar in student body, rank, faculty and vanderbilt as a university holds a lot more weight than unc. As for sustainability did you talk to anyone about the start up incubator ? There is a how group that does sustainability and social enterprise there. I would take the money and come to Nashville which is way better than chapel hill.
