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。

 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.

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.
