Fuqua School of Business at Duke 中国学生答疑专帖(首页新增校园图片展)

thanks, kevin_8p  and  Duke2006.

another question: about diversity and uniqueness.

I think almost every applicant is unique. Since my background is in marketing and sales, i don't think this background is unique at all. Is it better to show from outside working experience?

Your background is not unique, but you are! are you the same as any marketing guys? No, you must be somewhat different. Just like a 1980's slogan:在平凡的岗位上做出不平凡的事业！

Generally, business schools emphasize leadership, teamwork, communication and ambition. Show the admission committee that you have these qualities. It is easier said than done. That's why I say writting essays sort of mental torture. However, no pain no gain.

Hi, do you have any information of % or number of Chinese admits in the different rounds this year, I want to learn the difference between 1st round and 2nd round. Some said first is better, while others said second is better, making me confusing, so I expect to know the exact numbers recruited in different rounds. Thanks.

I was wondering about the same things when I applied last year. But I later figured out that it really depends on that year's application situation. If there are a lot of good applicants in the first round, you might be facing fierce competition, but if the applicant pool is not as competitive, you might have a better chance in the 1st round than the 2nd round. So the take home messege is that don't really bother trying to figure that out, because no one really knows. Just prepare your application package well and send it in once you're done. The good thing about 1st round application is that if you are admitted to your top choice school, you can toss away all the other 2nd round applications!

One of the great things about Fuqua is that it provides 100% loan to all international students that cover both tuition and living expenses. So money would only matter when you apply for your visa, because you want to show that you have SOME money besides the Fuqua loans.

Also for your information, the current education expenses for Fuqua's 2-year MBA program is $79k. Living expenses here are a lot lower than other places.

Dear Fuqua guys,

I am considering about 1st round on-line application. According to your former words, does Fuqua have special requirements on GMAT scores for Chinese students? I hit 720 3 years ago and don't want to retake it. Do you think I will have an obvious weakness in applying?

这个Fuqua答疑专贴是由一年级的中国学生共同组成的。Fuqua不同于其他学校源于Fuqua特别注重团队精神（Team Fuqua），所以许多一年级学生在方便的时候都会过来解释自己对Fuqua的感受。同时，因为一些同学过去在CD有过ID，因此他/她们也会直接回答。

感谢kevin_8p和Duke2006（以及这个ID后面所代表的各位）！我曾经跟一些在读的和已经毕业的MBA聊过，他们都非常重视学校中国学生的团体，因为其实毕业之后最可靠的Alumni网络还是中国学生自己。你们让我们看到了Fuqua 中国学生一个团结的整体，我想这会成为吸引大家申请Fuqua的一个重要原因。

有几个问题还想请教各位：

1、不知道几位能不能谈一谈你们当初面试的情况？好象Fuqua的面试方式比较灵活，可以到学校参观的时候面试，也可以申请之后面试等等。不知道你们都是选择的什么时间、哪种面试方式？有没有遇到什么非常规的问题？觉得哪种面试方式最有利？

2、因为家庭的原因，毕业之后我想回到纽约附近找工作，不知道Fuqua 学生毕业后在NYC附近就业的机会多不多？

3、你们中间career changer多吗？觉得毕业后实现目标的机会大不大？我指的是成功都找到你想做的那类工作。

先谢谢了！

看到这个帖子真太让人高兴了！发给Duke admission 的email一般都要十天半个月才能得到回复，真是望眼欲穿......感谢各位搂主，让Duke的申请者们有了“倾诉衷肠”的好去处！

开问啦：

1.从submit application到校友面试大概要多长时间？广州有校友面试吗？因为偶在11月1日（appl.deadline)到16日(interview deadline)之间要出差去广州。

2.application form 上要求写all the other mba you applied,是老老实实写，还是挑些名次相当的写？

3.beginning/current base salary in US$/ No. of people under your supervision 咱在中国的工资换算成美金，那叫是... 且不管他，那到底该写monthly salary, 还是annual salary呢？另外，要是偶在咨询公司上班，这哪能说得出有多少人归我管呢？每个项目都不同吗！appl. form上又没有解释的空间。你们当时是怎么应付这些问题的呀？

Thank you, thank you !!!
