Notes:

Hey all. Coming from a healthcare background and interested in getting into management consulting (preferably healthcare consulting). I am going back and forth between UNC/Emory. Ideally, I'd like to come back to northeast (NYC, Philly), although Atlanta/Charlotte is a possibility. Between Emory and UNC, which would be a stronger program?

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1579 I think both schools are very comparable. Your decision should be based on fit, to a large extent. Sorry not to be more helpful. (0)

anon29029 Likes Earned: 118 Hey thanks. Fit was great at both schools. For some reason, I heard that UNC is a target for most major consulting firms but their employment stats seem lower than the schools 15-20 rank, I was wondering why (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1579 That would seem odd, they are in that 17-21 ish group of schools. Does it have anything to do with the geography of placement? (0)

anon29029 Likes Earned: 118 my only guess would be they average both domestic and international stats together where most schools break out between the two groups, but not totally sure. If anyone has any insight, would love to hear more. Thanks! (0)

I also tend to think high ranked private universities tend to have more funding and resources than public schools do — may be something to consider. Atlanta is a major airport (I think the largest in the country?) and will make it easy to get almost anywhere in the country as well in order to network, interview, etc. I'd choose Goizueta as a result.
