请问duke学习紧张忙？ 听说需要经常功课到晚上1，2点的样子。

因为身体的原因，不能学习工作太劳累。 所以想请教学习强度的方面的情况。谢谢

 A large % of students (22% for 06-07) go into consulting after graduation. http://www.fuqua.duke.edu/career/recruit/documents/2006-07employment-report.pdf You can see # of students for each company. Unless there is a significant slowdown in US economy, I don't expect this to change.

Like many other top business schools, there really isn’t a “typical” background that Duke looks for. In my class 05, we had a student that was 64 years old, in 04, a student didn't have any work experience. It’s important to highlight your uniqueness (can be something very small, but show you as an individual) and what you can bring to the school if you were to attend.  If you were to apply, it’s important to highlight in as specific terms as you can why Fuqua is a good fit for you from an academic, student body perspective and how a degree from there will help you achieve your goals.

Duke is a very team oriented program since most projects are done in groups, so being able to work collaboratively is critical. You should be able to demonstrate your team spirit in essays/interviews.

Duke also has the largest healthcare related program in the country. If you are interested in that area, definitely mention it.

I know the "uniqueness" part is difficult. If you need specific help, Please feel free to contact us at ckwu16[在] yahoo.com offline.

Hope that helps!

Unfortunately 1-2am is not uncommon for any of the top schools. Time management is the key. At the beginning, you will be assigned to a team. You can tell your teammates the situation, ask them to be more efficient in team meetings, and be proactive in helping the team stay focused and finish early. It also depends on how bad you want that "A" in every class. Unless you want to do investment banking or Bain/McKinsey, good grades are nice but not critical. But then since you can't stay up 1-2am everyday, investment banking is not for you anyways. As long as you are prepared to work till really late once in a while, you are fine.

 Thanks for that!  May I conclude that a "special" teamwork story'd better be in essey ?  Of coz, based on true experiences.

作者: feizhang    时间: 2008-7-11 02:37
Hi Riverly,
As long as you can tie your team story back to the question asked, then that's fine. What you want to avoid is randomly putting a team story into an essay. The story might be a good one, but if it doesn't relate to the question asked, it can actually work against you.

It's safe to say that most business school applications will try and find out how you function in a team environment, so you will likely get a question asking about team experiences.

想问一下前辈，有没有中国学生毕业后留在States工作的相关统计呢？比如MBA前是干啥的，Intern如何，毕业后的就业又是怎样。

作者: 琥珀川    时间: 2009-7-5 11:17
好像多数学校都没有读 MBA之前的职业统计数据，可能因为没必要。暑期实习和就业统计可以去各商学院网站察看Placement Report。中国毕业生留在美国工作的是大多数，但是近几年国内的机会越来越多，越来越好，所以选择直接回国工作的人数逐渐增加。

嘿嘿，我一直非常希望能进那些顶级公司的china office，不知道除了ls那届以外，后面几届的中国留学生是否都有机会进BCG、Bain、Booz Allen这些公司的中国分部呢？

Dear Fuqua Alumna and Alumni,

Could you please tell me something about the Health Sector Management(HSM) program? What's the size for this program in 2010? Any collaboration between the school and the healthcare insurance or pharmaceutical companies? Is it easy for students with the HSC certificate to get a job in the healthcare industry? What's the difference between the Fuqua's HSM program and Wharton's Health care management? Many thanks!

Jacky

You can go to http://www.fuqua.duke.edu/documents/programs/hsm/daytime_hsm_brochure.pdf to download the HSM brochure where you can find answers to most of your questions.
作者: shaocf    时间: 2009-8-21 10:27

谢谢琥珀川。已经决定early action申请HSM.对于网上公布的essay有几个问题疑惑,如下：

  1.  Describe your vision for your career, your inspiration for pursuing this career path, and the role of The Duke MBA in achieving your goals. If you are interested in a specific concentration or joint degree program, please discuss in this essay.  想请教这篇文章多大篇幅呢？字数一般范围是多少呢？
  2. Discuss a person, event, or experience that has significantly shaped your life and explain why.  可以是关于求学、工作、生活任一方面的事情吗？篇幅？
  3. Individuals choose a business school for many different reasons. Through your research, what attributes or characteristics of The Duke MBA program have most resonated with you and why? How do you plan to contribute to the strengthening and enhancement of those attributes and characteristics during your time at Duke and beyond? 这是要给duke唱赞歌吗？要强调duke的优点还好我能带来的贡献呢？篇幅？

由于9月1号网申才开始，early action是10月3日，所以现在很着急。麻烦了。

因为是已婚人士，如果想要带着爱人过来陪读，学校是否会给与支持呢？

非常感谢。
