Is Fuqua a Target for BBs?
Is Duke's Fuqua MBA considered to be a target for BBs? Particularly asking this for IB and IM roles. Who really hires on campus?
And how well it is represented on the Street? Appreciate any thought/insight...

MBA- absolutely.
Undergrad- borderline, but not at all a hindrance.
Duke blows and Reddick is gay, dont go there no one likes duke kids on the street

Thoughts, comments, and opinions on Duke's Fuqua school and its reputation and exit opps?
I would imagine MS recruits Duke heavily due to John Mack being an alumni?
where do you want to go?
Duke, Fuqua?? (Originally Posted: 07/03/2015)
Is a Duke MBA gonna get me where a Sloan MBA would have?? Always had the dream of attending MIT, got rejected there though and accepted at Duke. Re-apply or just go to Duke??
Really? I thought it was the opposite:
Duke undergrad = target Duke MBA = borderline
I really wanna go to Sloan but re-app is in 6 months and I am not sure I have changed my profile enough to improve my odds
I would agree. Undergrad = target, MBA is borderline. I attended quiet a few target presentations at Duke Inn and it was 95% undergrad with a few MBA/MS candidates. Either way, the school is definitely a target
Marcus speaks the truff
i've met one fuqua grad in banking.
Why did you apply to Duke? Clearly something about the program caught your attention. What post MBA outcome are you looking to attain? Take a look at Duke's employment reports if you want a glimpse of what its MBAs end up doing and their corresponding salary levels.
Truf, not truff - one f. You must have a shitty nontarget edjamacashun.
the final "a" from the school's name.
Then it would be the Fuck You business school. I would go there just for that.
Imagine:
Person A: "So, Jim. Where did you get your MBA?"
Duke Alum: "Fuck You!"
sorry, I meant, where do you want to go in the future?
you wrote
so what is it that you think MIT will get you that you want so bad? that way we punters can comment on whether we think Duke can get you there equally
yep
but for some reason I've seen more Duke engineering/pre-med kids on the street
Yes all BB's recruit at Fuqua. Its considered core for Barclay's, Citi, CS, JPM and BAML. GS and Morgan Stanley will usually take at least a couple guys. The MBA program usually sends ~20-30 students a year to BB's.
Fuqua will not be the limiting factor to you getting where you want to go, as long as you are not looking for some niche post-MBA career that only a specific quality MBA program will prepare you for (I.e.Real Estate and Kenan-Flagler) See the employment report:

Its up to you and how effectively you use your time and talents.
I love it a two people a troll and I suspect an FSU student or grad completely disagreeing with someone who is verified in the industry. haha WSO never ceases to amaze me.
Just cuz I work in the industry doesn't mean I'm right about everything.
But I would say regarding Seminole's post... just because an info session is well attended by UG doesn't make it a target school.
There would need to be significant UG OCR by probably 5-7+ major banks (i.e. BB and elite boutiques, not Harris Williams) to make it a target school for Undergrads.
very true
lol, You know Marcus just corrected you, right?
(PS: Let's get everyone on chatzy in a bit)
hahaha, I didn't even look at this
thnx y'all. I'll take these as a Yes. What would you say for Cornell's Johnson MBA? A comparison maybe, as to comment on which one is a better target...
You don't need me to comment, you know, or should know... Fuqua is better.
Don't throw some rankings saying otherwise... people that are interviewing/hiring/screening you matter more than rankings in terms of what is more likely to get you an interview.
Perception is reality.
Duke doesnt even have an undergrad business major. Fuqua is just MBA
Nobody made any claims about Duke having an undergrad business major, just that it was an undergrad target. Harvard, Princeton, and Yale don't have undergrad business majors either, but they seem to do okay.
Please... Duke undergrad is regarded much better than Fuqua.
Duke undergrad is definitely not a target for BBs. MBA maybe. honestly, i go to a target school for BBs and I've never even heard of Fuqua. That could be part ignorance, but when I worked in Merrill's Wealth Management Division as an intern, non of the finance professionals we targeted went to Fuqua.
?
whatever... I did not really ask the school that you're going to-
? was more like- are you kidding me?
