Hi everyone!
I'm a first time poster, but was hoping those of you who have visited Duke could tell me what sold you on the program? Honestly, why Duke above all others?
Based on my initial research and interaction with alums, Duke was my first choice. However, after visiting and interviewing at several schools (Ross, Kellogg, Kelley), I was least impressed with Duke. I went to the interview weekend in December and enjoyed myself, but I was not blown away by anything, as I was after my other school visits.
Now that I am in I am feeling very torn. Maybe I went on a bad weekend? I was not overly impressed by any of the students I met, but only some students stayed behind for the admissions event because x-mas break had already started.
Anyone want to sell me on Fuqua?
What did you like about Kellogg? I went to visit last week and thought that all of the students seem miserable and unfriendly. In both of the classes I went to, only 2-3 students participated and even then they only gave yes/no answers. Just curious if I had an off visit as well.
If you're torn about Duke, just go to Blue Devil Weekend and you'll get a better idea of why everyone loves it there.
