Do not consider the Master's of Accounting program until Dean Jana Ready has resigned. She has run the program into the ground, fudged statistics, and altogether ruined the overall credibility of the Kenan-Flagler Business School. Jana needs to go.

The number one reason you are considering going to business school is to improve your career situation, get a better job, move industries maybe even move to another country.
If so, Kenan Flagler is not the school for you. Career services have issues with retaining talent, which means that the people who are supposed to help the most are inexperienced. The same is true for the administration, for example, the director of the MBA program is new, the head of career services just quit after a year in her role, her predecessor had similar time in the program. Career professionals for consulting and investment banking are also new.
About financial aid- GMAT score might get you financial aid from the school, which for many helps the decisions for ROI reasons, but i offer you not to be tempted by the money. From the top of my head, I'm thinking of at least 3 classmates with full rides and no offers meaning the very qualified people are not doing well because of the current situation at the school.
Managment: The management is currently putting its effort into it online MBA program and not in the MBA, from a financial point of view it makes sense, the program has an infinite capacity for students with no GMAT requirements which leads to incredible income from that venue but it also means less attention and investment in full-time MBA students.
What I like about KFBS: North Carolina and the Triangle generally is a pretty chill location, cost of living is pretty low and the weather is nice.
The academic staff is great and I enjoyed many of my classes.
If you enjoy sports the local sports scene is cool.

There is a misleading information on the page about students being accepted from different educational and cultural background. The person who is in charge of the program is making a decision based on her personal preferences and likeness of the candidate. Also, age is another factor for non-admission. Do not waste your time and money. It is not worthy!

A great school with the bells and whistles needed in an MBA program. Biggest complaint can be applied to any other top notch program. Not enough "practical" and too much theory. Get rid of the theoretical, poorly taught pseudoscience "organizational behavior" class and replace with "what you really need to know" in business 101.
