Choice between Tuck & Duke

kingswang

Hi, guys and Gals,

I got 2 offers till now,

Tuck - cost 160,000 USD, no scholarship, still no guarantee of non-cosigner loan,

Duke - cost 130,000 USD, 1/5 scholarship, loan available, healthcare program especially fit to my career goal

I know Duke's healthcare is perfectly fitful to my healthcare background and career goal in healthcare administration. But since I'm aiming at consulting function specialised in healthcare, Tuck may not be a bad decision.

Also, as to rep, Tuck is said to be better than Duke anyway as A8.

Okay, I'm open for your advices, thanks a lot!

这种情势下选Duke，原因很明显：对帮你保底的来说，Duke可以做的更好，而你想做consulting，Duke未必不能帮你实现，更何况在financial aid方面Duke的优惠是你马上能拿到手的。

:-)谢谢楼上各位！

很忠恳的建议。Tuck一直是我的Dream School，自从两年前打算年MBA起。今年这么激烈的竞争下能拿下Tuck，说明我和他的Values还是非常接近的。所以理性告诉我Duke可能占上风，感性却一直朝向Tuck。。。纠结中。

希望听听各位不同的声音，我想答案无非就是两种，我需要brainstorm和hints。Thanks a lot！

个人会推荐楼主去Duke.

因为觉得从upside角度，Tuck并没有不Duke强多少。至少从我知道的一家top consulting来说，他们的员工都有来自duke和tuck的，当然人数很少。所以这个更多的是和你的个人的competitiveness有关，tuck能带来的优势还是很有限的。当然，HC specialized consulting就不清楚了。

Go to Duke!  Duke also has a top medical school which can be extremely helpful for your background.
