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

First, Cong on your offers from both excellent schools. As current school of Duke, I have no hands-on clue for UVA program although I also got offer from UVA when I applied. Just provide 2 cents of general thoughts about MBA education.
Without much working experience, you would surely suffer from highly case-oriented method at UVA. I would argue that 1 yr and 2 yr w/e do have difference, but in my opinion, you are still too young to receive MBA education. Without enough working experiences, your understanding to industry, to leadership and to business might not as sharp as your peer classmates, so which might affect your job haunting. But if you want to do finance, there might be a little bit differences.
Actually we couple of current students at Duke plans to hold a informal welcome session for incoming students around middle March in Shanghai (after R2 result released). So if you can join us, you might find it helpful.
Best,
Undergrad is totally different planet. Here we're discussing MBA. It doesn't matter about overall reputation, but the recruitment performance matters.

As suggested by northeuro, try to talk to current/former students from both schools. Also a school visit would help a lot if that's possible. Feel free to drop me a message.

小弟不才，您老说Darden是top10学校。但是为啥我查遍近5年的USNews和BusinessWeek Top10排名都没看到Darden. 您老说Duke "general ranked around 20",我也查了排名，从来没看到Duke排到过20。不知道你老用的啥独门排名，独乐乐不如与众乐乐。
此外，您列出一对课程名字比较两个学校金融实力深度的分析方法很有新意也很有深度。
祝愿你的MBA职业咨询业务越来越红火，让更多迷茫中的MBA获得你的指导。
Could you present some statistics about Darden's good presence in Wallstreet and Hongkong?
Data speak louder than simple conclusion. Thank you!
I concluded my findings from my work experience and personal contacts. 
rior to application to mba I was doing m&a work for a major player in the healthcare industry (medical devices and lifesciences). I worked closely with pretty much all of the bulge brackets on restructurings and acquisitions of target companies. Also both of my managers were MDs from JP Morgan and CSFB. Just from my interactions with bankers alone I can conclude that Darden do have slight edge over Duke grads given a stable economic enviornment.
Now lets take a quick look at full time employment data for 2006-2007 for Duke and Darden. Duke grads accepting full time positions in financial services (i-banking, asset mgt, and others) total to be 23% versus Darden's 36%. This data might be skewed since that more students go to Duke to pursue other functions and more students go to Darden for banking.
Let me also point out that my decision to attend darden this fall by no means put me at a biased position.
check out the employment data:
