Duke Info this year

superfans124

Duke has 900 seats, but only 15 spots for chinese? according to BW
http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/full_time_mba_profiles/fuqua.html (2010 figures, I think),
27% of its students comes from Asia, that translates to 240 spots, but the reality seems like it's a extremely small pool for Chinese students.  really? with the swarm of Chinese applicants, and we get only 1.7%of all the available seats? where the hell do the rest of those 26% from Asia come from?

知行

看来 DUKE 招中国的比例很少啊。。。。。。  本来还想申请的 DREAM SCHOOL 看来有点悬。。。。

那是两年总数900，一年是400多。15人是指收到offer并决定读的，实际收到offer的中国人（包括投奔其他学校的）大于15人。

Overall speaking, Duke is friendly to international students, which accounts for 30-40% of total student body. However, one of the reasons for us as international students coming to the U.S. is experiencing different cultures and building a high-quality global network. Fuqua makes efforts to meet students' expectation by building a diverse student body and creating a strong collaborative culture.
Although this year, we have less students from a single country, but this has also something to do with the total applicant pool and yield rate.(Quite a few people got admitted but didn't come.) So I think it make no difference for qualified candidate to be admitted by Fuqua.
A few things to share with you guys are

1) Fuqua is core school of MCKinsey and BCG. Deloitte Consulting is even the largest recruiter of Fuqua last year. This year, Fuqua has improved its relationship with Bain and we had already several recruiting event organized by Bain on campus. It's really a good choice for people interested in Consulting. The consulting club here is awesome.

2) No.1 in healthcare. A tons of opportunities! Healthcare industry accounts for 20% of U.S. GDP. Duke is leader in healthcare and Fuqua has the best MBA health sector management program. What's more important, even you have no healthcare background, you can transform your career to healthcare with the HSM program, which basically means that you can enjoy life while having a decent MBA salary.

Duke's students do have diverse background. One of my teammates has been nurse for over 10 years. One is a math teacher. and one worked in a NGO consulting firm.
I feel that applying for Duke shouldn't worry about your background. Just polish your story. If it is brilliant enough, you will get a chance to join.

Hi Tiler,

Let me try to answer your questions:

1. According to the admission director, the number of Chinese admits was normal last year, while the year before last was "abnormal" simply because every candidates who got the offer decided to "Go Duke".

2. I would say we have average five years of working experience. The age range for the admitted students is large (24-37) and industry background is very diverse, ranging from banking, manufacturing, telecommunications, government, aviation to name just a few.

3. I think you can find this info in  Fuqua website.
