Fuqua vs Tuck

Congratulations on your admits!
Stellar job, and if you’re applying in round two, hopefully more to come 👍🤞

Fuqua is not particularly bad in consulting. I don’t think it’s bad at all and I think it’s one of the big placements since all of the MB’s have an office on campus at Fuqua. They did before the pandemic and I assume they do again this year. This means you can walk in and talk to McKenzie representative for a coffee chat four days out of the week. This means they come to your classes and they observe you. This gives you tons of touch points an opportunity to learn about consulting and convert.

Tack focuses, purely on consulting. If you go to Todd, you are focused on consulting, and they do it really well. They have clubs and helping each other out, doing mock interviews, and all of those things. But Hugo has that as well just not on such a, big focus and I think that fits more of your profile since tech is your primary industry.

As you already have tech, background and experience, getting an Amazon internship or Microsoft Oprah haps, even some fancy, your names is quite likely, and those tend to be open to pretty much all top 20 schools. Obviously tech is in a very precarious position this year, but I would expect in two years they will be hiring left and right again. If they’re not, no brand will help you in little bit more about your background and your experience before business school that will help you get the trust for that interview.

I would choose tack because of their community. I think Tim Fuqua is a real thing, but nothing makes you closer than hostile environment in a tiny town. 😂

I have a special place in my heart for attack as well, but it’s really hard to justify that kind of cost. By the way, I wouldn’t expect that if you’re one of the few candidates recruiting for a certain industry, that you will get more access to certain resources, it’s probably the opposite. I don’t know, of course since I am not a student at Tech, but that argument does seem a little suspect to me as well. 😇

PS. If you go back to India, do you want to have a tech name on your résumé with an extra $70,000 on your liability? … if the answer is yes, you should seriously consider Tuck but I voted for Fuqua.
