Just found out that I have been accepted to Carroll. Pretty sweet deal. Three out of three, at this point. Feels very rewarding. Will have more updates soon.Update - 01/31/09: Just received the official letter from BC. I have been offered $10,000 in scholarship funds, which is pretty good (about 1/5th of the cost). I felt really bad turning down this school because I really wanted to attend, given that I did not get into UNC. BC has an outstanding program, great professors, and a strong reputation. They admitted very few students (I believe it's 27 to 30 percent of applicants, which is unusual for an MSA program), for a total of about 37 to 45 students in the entire class. I am proud to be one of those granted admission. Unfortunately, I can only attend one school. It certainly would have been very interesting to be a part of the Strasburg.

Congrats. I assume that you are headed to UNC K-F. Are you in the MBA program, or the MAC? I received my acceptance letter last week; quit my job (U.S. Army) to attend, so I am very happy to have been admitted!
My wife is a BC undergrad and we both grew up in Boston. While BU/BC may enjoy some advantages over UNC, I can unequivocally state that NC is an infinitely more user-friendly state than MA. When that lone salient fact is taken into consideration I think the choice becomes obvious.
Thanks. I AM heading to Kenan-Flagler. While UNC is far better ranked than either BC or BU, I wanted to attend because I was simply in love with the program from the first time that I found out about it and reviewed the curriculum.
I am attending for the MAC program. Where did you get in?
I should also say that I really liked the BC program, and would have been very excited to attend. However, I have been admitted at UNC, and cannot attend two schools.
I'm happy about the weather in Chapel Hill, which is, as you know, far different from that of Boston. However, I plan to return to the North - to NYC - upon completing the program.
Cheers,
Alex.
Alex,
Congrats on your acceptance to the various b-schools. I am considering applying for the Naval Postgraduate School in Monteray, CA.
Will see where all of that goes. Best of luck in the future and hope we can continue to connect.
Best,
Brian
Thanks, Brian. Best of luck, buddy! I'm sure that you have a very bright future ahead of you.
We can certainly stay in touch. I'll continue to look at your blog periodically.
