Hi members,
I am in an extremely complicated situation. I got a KF admit last week without scholarship and I am not sure if I should go ahead and join it.
My earlier aim was to go to a top 15 business school, however, I could not convert any of them given my low GMAT score of 710. I have already applied thrice to business schools over last 3 years with only success this time around.
My profile in a snap shot:
Age - 30
GMAT - 710
WE: ~6 years with MBB
Stats: Male, Engg+Eco
Goal : Get back to MBB
I wish to know whether I should let go off KF and apply to other 2 year MBA program in low rank business school ( hoping to get a scholarship since I am already not going to get into a top MBA program and hence difficult to crack MBB) or should I wait for another year to up my ante on GMAT score? Also, I would like to know my chances to crack INSEAD ( this being just the right kind of brand name & program that I need at this point)?
Thank you so much for your advice!!!!!
Really need your help guys

First of all congratulations on your very dear admit! UNC is a strong program and it is a Top 20 one too!
I know the universe likes round numbers - top 10, top 15, top 20, etc but I don't know where the imaginary line between top 20 and top 15 lies. I don't think there is really a monumental difference between UNC and Cornell or Stern. They are all top 20. I would not worry, doubt or question your success.
What I would question is why do you want a Full Time MBA? Why not Part time or EMBA? Those are easier to get into and they don't put as much emphasis on your GPA. The downside of course is that they don't help you look for a job, but you already have a good one and you are planning to stay within MBB - does your employer have an MBA or Tuition assistance program?
P.S. To be somewhat pessimistic, which I will be, I would say your chances will not improve much next year due to age - you are entering the dangerous 30+ territory. Instead, if you want to give it all and your best, and if you are still doubting UNC, you have a few weeks for the R2 - get a consultant. Pay them a few grand just to say you had one, and give it the best shot you can, and if you can improve your chances, then great. If not, you did all you could, and you never need to doubt your options again - you got into top 20, you did your best effort, and that's the end.

Congrats for KF. It is a big school.
Are you an international student? it is really important to know first.
what schools did you apply to over the past 3 years?
