Duke Vs. Tuck?

unicorn0130

Two cents: You are so clear with the pros and cons of each school, so deep down in your mind you already know which one to choose.

Ivy league doesn't really matter here.  Stanford is not in ivy league, but no one denies that it's on the top.  Brown is an ivy, but did you ever see its name appears on the b-school ranking?

Stanford is Ivy Plus, man
Duke is arguably Ivy Plus too.

that's exactly the point! 为什么要执着ivy呢？

To LZ,

Tuck是个好学校，留美的话。个人认为Tuck现状总体比Fuqua略强。

但选校从来都是一个主要考虑FIT的事情，你要抓中国人中国市场、你要做health care，那我会说DUKE是你的不二选择。原因你自己已经陈述了。你不妨试着接触一下两边的资深校友，聊聊看。

和HKS的项目是要两边都take你才可以的，而且你在申请MBA时就要申请的

Tuck waitlists a lot of people every year (it's a quite small program). You should try to get off the waitlist 1st, then decide. Have you gotten into the kennedy school? if not you will need to apply in your 1st yr of mba and admissions is definitely NOT guaranteed.

You need to keep in mind that Tuck isn't extremely well-known in China and doing a 3 yr dual degree might mess up your internship/recruiting timeline

In my humble opinion, healthcare + international business ----> duke fuqua

和HKS的concurrent degree可以在过去后第一年申请的，不一定要在申请MBA的时候同时申请（与HBS的joint degree除外）。

哦~我以为和HBS一样呢

Follow up with Tuck first...

I seriously think you will not get off the waitlist from Tuck due to the huge application pool...

got offer from Duke, waitlisted by Tuck. Should I follow up with Tuck?

Tuck Pros:
I love Tuck mainly because Tuck offers a dual-degree program with J.F Kennedy School of Government, where I might have networking opportunity with some top Chinese officers, who might be of help for my future company, any company.

Tuck Cos:
Small Chinese alumni base.

Duke Pros:
I love Duke because large Chinese Duke alumni base in the future. Duke is constructing a new campus in Kunshan (near Shanghai). The new campus will focus on Executive training, so I will be able to reach out more elite Chinese alumni to facilitate my career and company in the future. As I plan to run my own healthcare company in China in the future, choosing Duke could 1) offset the small Chinese alumni base that faced by all U.S MBA programs and 2) potential able to get first-hand commercialization opportunity in healthcare if I have a good network in Duke.

Duke Cons: 1) Not belong to Ivy League(I don’t know if this matters).

那是因为Brown没有MBA吧。。。

好吧，but you can still take brown as an example and bench mark its other programs with those of its peer schools...same story

Brown这是受歧视了吗== 没有法学院和商学院的学校真是伤不起啊
怎么不用Princeton做例子呢

With all due respect to Brown, but if people have to pick an ivy league school as such an example, it has to be it.  rinceton is one of the top-notch ivy, not really suitable for this scenario.
