谁能比较一下duke vs. U of Virginia

拿到这两个学校的offer,

除了告诉我要看自己适合以外，

谁能比较一下duke vs. U of Virginia? 谢谢。

这两个学校在各方面都相当接近，去哪一个都差不多的说。

我所知道的几个小区别：

1）Duke这个University的整体reputation要高于UV （但仅就商学院而言基本相当）

2）UV所在的这个小镇据说比Duke所在的小镇居住环境更好

3) Darden基本全是Case-method，其学习强度要比Fuqua大（据说是最辛苦的几所b-school之一）；如果你喜欢Case method，那就去Darden

4）听说Darden的教授教书非常投入，教得很好

感觉这两个学校实在是很像，学生都很nice，facility都很新很先进，job placement也都差不多。你不妨找几个目前在Fuqua和Darden读书的中国学生聊一聊，或者有可能的话，去学校实地考察一下，再做决定。

DUKE在中国的名声比DARDEN稍微响一点

呵呵，当然来DUKE了

Dardan is top 10 B-school in the U.S. and is one of the most important core schools in management consulting and investment banking industries.

it's highly regarded in top consulting firms like McKinsey and investment banking like Goldman Sach, Morgan Stanley and others in Wall Street.

Darden's curriculum is also more committed in MBA program design, more sophisticated and well-rounded in general management, leadership, marketing communication, and finance management.

Entrepreneurship is a solid new highlight with deep commitment.

Strongly well-connected across multidisplinary management strategy and tactics.

Emphasize on quantitative analysis and consulting tools.

Case study is one particular highlight, but it depends on personal taste.

you can see the commitment when faculty explain the details of program design in 2nd-yr.

Duke is strong national school, generally ranked around 20. Emphasize on teamwork.

Good general management but a bit less sophisticated than Darden.

Particularly strong in bio-tech and medical industry.

Some people believe Fuqua is a great marketing school since lots of health sector giants have strong preference for Fuqua graduates.

谢谢各位的回复。还有个问题：

UVA是去年给的defer offer, 所以我今年要去；

DUKE是今年给的defer offer,所以我要明年才能去。

到今年入学，我才一年半的工作经验。

大家觉得，综合考虑，我是应该今年去UVA呢，还是明年去DUKE? 一年和两年的工作经验有什么大的差别吗? What worries me a lot is that I might have difficulties finding jobs after graduation... Will my AICPA certificate (not a CPA license) help in any way? What will my career prospects be like in two years' time?

我很想知道楼主的背景啊
