Duke Vs. Tuck?

got offer from Duke, waitlisted by Tuck. Should I follow up with Tuck?

Tuck Pros:
I love Tuck mainly because Tuck offers a dual-degree program with J.F Kennedy School of Government, where I might have networking opportunity with some top Chinese officers, who might be of help for my future company, any company.

Tuck Cos:
Small Chinese alumni base.

Duke Pros:
I love Duke because large Chinese Duke alumni base in the future. Duke is constructing a new campus in Kunshan (near Shanghai). The new campus will focus on Executive training, so I will be able to reach out more elite Chinese alumni to facilitate my career and company in the future. As I plan to run my own healthcare company in China in the future, choosing Duke could 1) offset the small Chinese alumni base that faced by all U.S MBA programs and 2) potential able to get first-hand commercialization opportunity in healthcare if I have a good network in Duke.

Duke Cons: 1) Not belong to Ivy League(I don’t know if this matters).

One cent: Follow up waitlist and be responsive... make the choice after further efforts.

Two cents: You are so clear with the pros and cons of each school, so deep down in your mind you already know which one to choose.

Ivy league doesn't really matter here. Stanford is not in ivy league, but no one denies that it's on the top. Brown is an ivy, but did you ever see its name appears on the b-school ranking?

Good point！

那是因为Brown没有MBA吧。。。

好吧，but you can still take brown as an example and bench mark its other programs with those of its peer schools...same story

Duke的在US News上综合排名是No. 10，是不是ivy已经没太大关系了……

Stanford is Ivy Plus, man
Duke is arguably Ivy Plus too.
