Thanks for sharing such an objective assessment of both schools! Your detailed comparison will very be helpful for the applicants that choose between Fuqua and Ross each year.

I love Ross, but I can completely understand why it's not for everyone (for many of the reasons you described).

You clearly made a very methodical and educated decision. While I chose Ross for some of the opportunities they present like MAP and ZLI, a lot of what I did not like about Ross but liked about Duke you echoed here. I think I will be happy at Ross, but from your description it seems Duke is a better fit.

I will be kicking myself when I am trudging through the snow to my first night guest speaker while you are galavanting around without a parka. Best of luck to you this fall and Duke is a fabulous internationally focused school.

I recently attended the Bangalore info session of both the schools. I've shared my experience here. Hope this helps in making a decision.
