Tell you the truth, 相信没多少Fuqua的人会知道这件事情，也没多少人关心这件事情。MBA is a very busy and isolated life（其实是有点与世隔绝），每天忙学习，找intern，应付各种quiz,参加各种活动都来不及，很多时候我们的新闻都是滞后的。Duke是个很大的school，Fuqua的作息又和其他学院不同，常常被人说我们过的是Fuqua time，即使是Fuqua PHD和MBA之间也没多少交流。
不过我想说的重点是，在这里我们这些MBA international student并没有收到特别的歧视。每个人都以自己的方式精彩的生活着。
其实这么想，美国并不是我们的国家，我们的英语也远不如美国人民流利，有些时候总会遇到很多你会认为是discrimination的东东，比如找工作有些公司就不sponser international student，但这个是所有在美国生活的international student都会遇到的问题，而非Duke所有。这个是美国的大环境，我们改变不了什么。
Duke MBA's ranking by Businessweek is No.9 for 2006. Good news for Fuqua to return to Top10.
Fuqua is the ONLY school that gets A+ for all the five dimensions, including Communications skills, Teamwork and Analytical skills (graded by recruiters), and Teaching quality and Career service (graded by students).
I believe Fuqua has very promising future, given the huge investment and efforts made by the school.
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.
