MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Everyone who visits Fuqua seems to fall in love with the place, and they inevitably talk about how great the students are. Can someone (I know there were a bunch of admits on this forum) explain a little more in depth what it is about the students at Fuqua? I just don't really hear people talk about any other school in the glowing terms that people come up with for Duke.
Does anybody know what Stern's culture is known for? I've heard some people say it is fairly cut-throat and competitive while other people say it's very collaborative.

The overarching theme about Duke is the "Team Fuqua" concept. Obviously, a lot of people find that very appealing - but I think they key is that pretty much everyone that chooses to attend Duke has bought into the concept before stepping on campus. It seems to be a great idea, but for people that don't like to have sunshine blown up their butt all day (couldn't think of a better way to put it), it can be a little overbearing.
If you browse the BW forums, I think you'll find that Darden & Tuck also have large groups of enthusiastic fans. Each of the schools offers a somewhat different culture, but I believe the common theme is that they are each somewhat remote and most students don't have prior ties to the area. So, there's much more emphasis on working and socializing with fellow students.
This contrasts with big city schools where many students will drift off and hang out with friend they used to work with or go to school with. In cities like NY, LA, SF, Boston & Chicago, there are just so many other things to do that it's no surprise that many people go off and do their own thing. I don't know anything about NYU specifically, but why hang around school when Greenwich village & the meatpacking district are steps away, and Manhattan is at your fingertips.

Pelihu - That makes sense, thanks for the info.
With regard to your "sunshine" comment, I've heard other people make similar comments. In fact, I think the BW rankings has little one-liners below each school on their ranking page and for Fuqua they say something about it being a "hand-holding" type school. That actually seems pretty appealing considering one of the main reasons you go to school is to build up a network.
One of my friends who is a second year there told me that everyone on campus has those "Heely" things, those shoes with wheels built into the heels. I'm kind of jealous of people going to Fuqua, it seems like there's a certain amount of "regressing into undergraduate mode" that goes on, I'd love to be part of that.
