Den of Blue Devils - DUKE申请答疑帖

Duke2009

Thanks for all your interest towards Duke.  In recent days many ppl asked the question about Duke's global expansion initiatives and how it will impact day time MBA.  So I would like to answer centrally here.

Since the initiatives are just launched, it's hard for us, the current students, to assess how it will affect us.  But we expect the school will benefit in following aspects:

1. Enhance the reputation around the world, especially the emerging markets;

2. Strengthen Duke's international exposure.  Now 40% of student body at Duke MBA are int'l students, one of the highest ratio among top MBA program in U.S.  While at the same time, Duke may not truly set up its reputation upon int'l business, similar as Wharton=Finance, Kellogg=Marketing

3. Day time students might have more options for exchange program, more chances to broaden the horizon.

Other than that, if you may think of anything reasonable, please share your thoughts here and see how it goona happen.

Again, best luck on your application.

Sorry we don't have so much knowledge about the Toefl threshold.  But your GMAT is surely high enough to demonstrate your language skill, so don't worry about that. Keep working on your application and best luck!

Thank you so much! I will try my best :-)

Dear Dukies,

在网申过程中发现fellowship & scholarship只有以下3个选择，也就是说只能等待merit based，但是下面多选框不能选的？(因为看下来基本不符)。

Financial Aid Information In order to be considered for Federal Student Loans and work-study, U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and designate The Fuqua School of Business to receive a copy of the resulting Student Aid Report (SAR). Please refer to the application instructions for additional information regarding completing the FAFSA process. Fuqua is pleased to be able to offer merit-based scholarship aid to international applicants. However, scholarship funds are limited and awards are usually not sufficient to fund tuition and living expenses. The Fuqua School of business does offer a loan to international students called the Expanded MBA Loan. Please refer to the application instructions for information regarding this loan program.

Please indicate the type(s) of financial aid for which you wish to be considered:

Federal Student Loans and/or College Work-Study (U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents Only) CASE Social Sector Scholarship - award for two incoming students with significant nonprofit experience who intend to return to social sector careers upon graduation Peace Corps Fellows - scholarship program for incoming students who have successfully completed service in the U.S. Peace Corps; requires significant community service commitment while enrolled

Yes, you are right.  You can only wait for the merit-scholarship.  The 1st and 3rd scholarship just target U.S Citizen/PR, for 2nd you may have chance if you are very dedicated with non-profit sector.

好开心！ 刚刚收到duke R1 offer! 希望能在8月见到大家！ 赶紧请教一下前辈几个问题：

1.Language Institute 是不是必需的？能免吗？ 2周课程有用处吗？

2. Decision letter里面有一个 “Click here to accept or decline our offer of admission”， 这个是做什么的？是要立刻就点还是说可以在Apr交押金之前点就行了？ 有没有最后期限？如果现在点了是不是代表这就承诺要接受offer了？

3. 最后还要一个Submit your confirmation online! 这个是不是和前面那个是一回事？

4. 存款证明什么的是不是只有拿到I-20之后才能做？

谢谢！好激动！ 向往duke! 谢谢前辈！

Congratulations and welcome to dukies' family!

1- 对于国际学生是必须的，除非你在英语国家有学历。

2- 如果你接受offer，就可以去点accept。

3- 应该是一回事情

4- 先存款证明给学校，学校根据你的funding发I-20。
