Dear Accepted,

The UNC Kenan Flagler application asks that applicants, "Please list other MBA Programs / Universities (separated by semicolons) to which you are applying."

How do suggest strategically handling this question?

I am applying to UNC, Duke, UVA, Georgetown, and Harvard.

Thanks a lot,

Hello,

I assume that you're qualified for the schools you mention, with HBS being a special reach. The adcom will review this list in the context of your overall application, so without seeing the rest of the app it's hard for me to judge this list. In a general sense it seems fine to mention those programs as the ones you're applying to. Of course, in your essays you should make a very compelling case for UNC demonstrating that your learning needs will be amply met by the program and also conveying sincere enthusiasm for the program.

Best regards,

Cindy,

Thanks for your response. I think I am a competitive applicant at all five of my target schools, lets hope the adcoms agree!
