I still landed a Big 4 offer (actually, two Big 4 offers and one offer at a more regional firm - I say this only to illustrate the point that my socioeconomic background did not seem to affect me at multiple firms, not just one). At that point, I had only been to one country outside the United States - the country where I was born. I'm a first-generation immigrant from a working-class background with no connections and no country club or fraternity affiliations. I feel the need to comment as I'm an alumnus from some years back (well within the past decade). *Something half the graduating class seemed unable to do, judging from class experiences. With an online program soon gearing up, UNC diploma mill won't be any more "prestigious" than U of Phoenix! At least U of Phoenix is rather up front about their association with banksters and other rent-seekers "public" schools like UNC are sheep in wolves clothing. I used the STAR technique during behavioral questions, was reasonably social (talked about sports, travel asked about the recruiters' experiences and advice listened closely*). I don't have a frat or country club pedigree, and I don't summer all over the world, so that could've been a dealbreaker. I can actually speak English (though with a Southern flair), unlike some of the graduates. I'm an alumnus, graduating near the top quarter of last year's cohort with no offer. How idiots get in there - I have no idea, but they must be smarter than me since they figured it out. Even the top 3 or the top 5 have issues and idiots. I can tell you that no program/school no mater how highly ranked will be perfect. Sorry to hear about the experience so far - how is it going a month in? Are you still around or you withdrawing from the program? I'd venture most "higher" education is that way, but UNC MAC really sets the standard. Business ethics in the 21st century, brah! One telltale sign: They claim that 100% of their alumni donate to the school, but i know of at least 5% of the graduating class that didn't, and they had students donate in those people's names. They fudge their stats, and if you have no connections, don't attend a country club, and haven't been to 30 different countries, you're up the creek.
