Hi Kevin,

Got another question about the HSM while we are still at it. Seems like the majorty are still Americans. How many total students are in HSM currently? and how many are Chinese? You said most of the Chinese have worked in the US. Are they green-card holders/US citizens? I heard that mainland Chinese applicants are in a separate pool from those with US residency status. just wondering if it's true.

Thanks!

HSM is like an elective course. You can attend only if you want. HSM has nothing to do with the MBA application process. It happens after you got admission and enrolled. But if you are really interested in bio/pharma/medical industry, surely you can point out your interest in HSM in your essays.

Kevin meant that most of the Chinese students who attended the HSM program are mainly from US. There are totally about 30 Chinese full time student in class 2006, about 20 of them come from mainland China.

Maybe we are talking too much about the HSM program. Actually, Fuqua is also very strong in Finance, Marketing and General Management. According to the 2004 BW ranking, Fuqua is one of the only four b-schools that ranked top-10 in all the six categories: Finance, Marketing, Global scope, General management, Technology and Ethics. This is a strong proof of Fuqua's cross-the-board strength.[attachimg]21218[/attachimg]

To echo the point made above, Fuqua is really strong and well balanced in many areas. One of the best things that Fuqua offers is the flexibility to choose your own focus of study. You may want to do 2/3 finance, 1/3 Marketing, or a quarter each of finance, marketing, general management, and healthcare. In any case, it's about what you want and how much you want it. You can take advantage of all the world-class faculty and resources available to you.

The BW survey was few years ago, so, it didn't reflect the current situation in Fuqua. We fired the previous CMC director and hire back the one who had successful record before.

The CMC office staff is very accessable, you can contact them anytime anywhere. We had all sorts of workshop and information session right from the begining of our program.

Although there is no guarantee CMC will hand your dream job to you, it definitely provides all methods necessary for your job hunting.

实话实说，在经历了去年job placement低谷之后，Fuqua的Career Management Center现在非常努力，从开学到现在，各种各样的Career Workshop, Resume Review, Information Session几乎从未间断，CMC的人甚至在Fox Center入口处长期“摆摊儿”，面对面地回答学生提出的任何关于career的问题及提供帮助。别的商学院我不了解，但是我觉得很难做得比他们更好更周到了。

Duke got two B for Teaching and Career service, which led to the drop of ranking. Fuqua has best-of-the-best faculty team, however previously they focus more on research instead of teaching. Now Fuqua has adressed this by arranging experienced and successful professors teaching in the classroom.

My first term in Fuqua ended last week. In my opinion, the professors are fantastic! I like them!
