谁能比较一下duke vs. U of Virginia

I think the comparision between duke and darden should be placed on career management after the mba program.  If you plan to come back to China right away to work in a general management role then Duke should be a better choice because Duke do have a better overal international recognition.  But if you plan to go into Banking then Darden is clearly the better way to go.  Darden's wallstreet and hong kong banking presence is much deeper than Duke's.  good luck

Could you present some statistics about Darden's good presence in Wallstreet and Hongkong?

Data speak louder than simple conclusion. Thank you!

I concluded my findings from my work experience and personal contacts.  rior to application to mba I was doing m&a work for a major player in the healthcare industry (medical devices and lifesciences).  I worked closely with pretty much all of the bulge brackets on restructurings and acquisitions of target companies.  Also both of my managers were MDs from JP Morgan and CSFB.  Just from my interactions with bankers alone I can conclude that Darden do have slight edge over Duke grads given a stable economic enviornment. 

Now lets take a quick look at full time employment data for 2006-2007 for Duke and Darden.  Duke grads accepting full time positions in financial services (i-banking, asset mgt, and others) total to be 23% versus Darden's 36%.  This data might be skewed since that more students go to Duke to pursue other functions and more students go to Darden for banking. 

Let me also point out that my decision to attend darden this fall by no means put me at a biased position.
