Sorry for the late info from Fuqua this year. We really have fewer people. And everyone is crazy about Fall 1 courses and searching info of summer internship. Actually Duke is not a Party school. Every day is busy, but exciting. Eg. today, we meet a famous actor, Yang Lixin, at lunch. He will make a speech tonight. Our former Dean helped us take pictures with him, one by one. So you can feel the culture here. Everyone you meet is so kind.
Just a little info about the candidates of Daytime 2013 at Fuqua.
1. We have 15 people from China this year, including one with green card. The number of this year is only half of that of last year. We have 4 girls and 11 guys. However, there were more girls last year. The total No. of students is 444 at Fuqua, and 30% of total students are international ones. 2. People's background is really diverse. We have a captain, bankers, engineers... So no matter what background you have, you will have an opportunity to join. Just make a shining story of your life. 3. I feel that half of us have international experience, before joining Fuqua. I'm not sure about the No. 4. Most people's GMAT scores are 700+, and TOEFL scores are 100+. Actually, Duke does have admitted people whose TOEFL score is below 100. I've heard of 99. But your background should be really strong. Eg. you work for big names.
Good luck everyone, here. Wish to meet you at Fuqua next year.
Thanks for sharing! I have several questions. 1. My career direction is about corporate finance. Thus, I want to know what resources the school could provide in this area. Although Fuqua is not a traditional "financial school", it is still my dream school, becasue I want to stay in NC. 2. How does the school define ”leader of consequence"? 3. what is the characters of Fuqua in your mind?
1. Why there's a big drop in Chinese admit enrolled? Any concern of the adcom? or just some admit did withdraw? 2. average w/e of the Chinese candidates? and industry? 3. When will be this year's info session? Will it be held in South China as last year?
1. According to the admission director, the number of Chinese admits was normal last year, while the year before last was "abnormal" simply because every candidates who got the offer decided to "Go Duke".
2. I would say we have average five years of working experience. The age range for the admitted students is large (24-37) and industry background is very diverse, ranging from banking, manufacturing, telecommunications, government, aviation to name just a few.
3. I think you can find this info in Fuqua website.
Hi Tiler, 1. According to the admission director, the number of Chinese admits was normal last year, while the year before last was "abnormal" simply because every candidates who got the offer decided to "Go Duke".

you are saying Duke gave the same amount of offers to Chinese candidates last year and the year before, but the acceptance rates were different, right?
I applied to Duke last year and got interview at Shanghai, but no offer... sad.... I am reapplying now and hope I can meet you guys at Durham next year. Wish me good luck
