Duke MMS
Hey guys, Just had a quick question or two about Duke's MMS program.

Doesn't Duke MMS have horrible IB placements?
Only 2% (Small correction: it's 4%, not 2%) of class of 2014 got into IB . Really? Is it even worth considering applying there? The Fuqua brand name has kinda diluted. Or am I wrong? I think LBS MiM is much better because it's a well known business school around the world, so if even you return to...

Duke MMS (Masters in Management Sciences)?
Has anyone heard any review of the program? I kind of would prefer this program over an MBA at the moment.
