Enrolled: Undecided

Admitted: Duke / Fuqua , Berkeley / Haas , UNC Kenan-Flagler

Applied: Duke / Fuqua, Berkeley / Haas, UNC Kenan-Flagler

Entering Year: 2025

Post MBA Career: Pharmaceutical Companies: Amgen, Merck, Pfizer

GRE: 321

GPA: 3.89

Location: Texas

Notes:

$140k from Haas, $80k from Duke, full tuition from UNC. Post-MBA goal is corporate strategy or LDP at a big/medium pharmaceutical company. Even with scholarships COA is still quite high at Haas/Duke, and Haas would be the MBA/MPH for 2.5 years. Torn between the brand of Haas/Duke vs no debt at UNC.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1840 No debt at UNC might well make good sense, if they can provide good access into the LDP programs you’re looking at. Do you have any geographic preferences, post MBA? Fuqua is very good for health care, but assume UNC is also decent, given their proximity to the research triangle. (0)
