请教两个申请的问题:

1,我在美国有一个硕士学位,工作7年,有绿卡,申请的时候还要TOEFL嘛?

2,本科的成绩单是在网上填写,还是要回国内学校开,再寄原件到DUKE呢?

多谢!

  • For Fuqua, TOEFL is not needed if you have a master degree in the US. The following is from the Fuqua admission website:
All international citizens who did not earn an undergraduate degree from a school whose primary language of instruction is English must submit results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The TOEFL requirement is waived for international applicants holding non-technical master or Ph.D. degrees from colleges and universities located in the United States. Official scores must be reported directly from the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Applicant photocopies are not accepted. If we receive multiple TOEFL scores, we will automatically use the score from the test date submitted on your application. Scores are valid for two years from the date of the test. We will not review an application with expired TOEFL test scores. Allow at least four weeks for requested TOEFL scores to reach The Duke MBA office of admissions.
  • Base on my knowledge, you must request for a sealed original copy of your transcript from all schools previously attended.

BTW, if the email is not replied (you know, the admission people are super busy in this season, they may receive hundreds of emails every day), you can just give the admission office a call to confirm.

UT just held the natioanl energy finance  challenge, and I volunteered that event. I met 4 duke students, all very nice people, and 2 are UT undergraduate. It seems I have more things to talk with Dukie than students from other schools.

Duke越看越喜欢!

可能没有仔细看,问一个关于课程改革的问题:是不是06年开始,就有14个concentration,每个学生只能选一个,毕业证书上会注明是哪个。但其实每个concentration一般要求必修4科,选修2科就够了,如果还是按照之前得课程结构(one year two-semester four-term)理解,一个term就差不多学4门,2年下来好歹也能学个20多门课,难道6门之外的就全部是自己选修了。还是说,第一年好多基础课其实都是必修,另外再加上concentration的6门。

本人有8年工作经验,6年在finance(big 4),2年在business。mba毕业后想从事private equity or venture capital,其实不知道应该选择Entrepreneurship and Innovation or Concentration in Finance (Investment),另外,感觉Decision Sciences,strategy, marketing都会很有帮助,不太明白应该怎么写why duke?能否请各位blue devils帮忙解答一下,不胜感激!

Fuqua每年分4个Term,每个Term一般4门课。一年级的时候是core courses,课程基本固定,不分concentration。二年级的选修课才分concentration。

一般concentration应当与你的career goal相对应,然而其他的选修,可以根据你的兴趣来选。

Why duke,窃以为必然要提Teamwork. 在Fuqua,很大一部分的学习需要通过Team来完成,此外,你还能看到很多team initiative。二年级中国学生会主动为一年级学生开考前review session,很多section都有各种各样的team review initiatives. 此外,你可以提学生的素质。Fuqua的学生背景非常diversified,而且综合素质都比较高。拿我所修的Global Economic Environment来说,教授是一个UChicago Econ PHD, USC来的访问教授,期中考试拿出一张"很难"的卷子(在USC平均分都是70分左右),结果在这里, Mean是82,还有一个97的最高分。 此外,也需要提一下,课程设计,学术强项,culture与自己性格以及职业目标的吻合。 另外一些DUKE unique的东西,也可以参考,如: Camp-out, GATE, Consulting in small company, RTP ...

Good luck

我在DUKE的网站上看到MBAA,今年的主席和副主席都是二年纪的学生,不过都是美国本土的。想问问国际学生有可能当任这个职务吗?任何人当选上是否都需要通过竞选?谢谢答复哈

有可能。需要竞选。不过现实地说,对国际学生相当难。

请问各位duke的大牛,

你们是怎么看这道essay的?

  1. How has your personal history and family background influenced your intellectual and personal development? What unique personal qualities or life experiences might distinguish you from other applicants? How will your background, values and non-work related activities enhance the experience of other Duke MBA students and add to the diverse culture we strive for at Fuqua? Note: The goal of this essay is to get a sense of who you are, rather than what you have achieved professionally.
       

你们当时是怎么写的?

谢谢

其实这题就是突出你与众不同的地方,让人一看这essay就能感觉一个鲜活的你

记得orientation week时admission director特地点了几个我们这届经历比较特殊的人:有fear factor champion, 有人travel了很多国家,有人以前是部落的王子。当然不是每个人都有如此非凡的经历,但是好好回顾一下自己这些年来走过的道路,尽力挖掘一下你的特点,相信可以写出一篇不错的essay.
