Hey guys,
Greetings from San Jose!
I have been admitted in these two Schools and would appreciate your insights.
My background: I received my bachelor's degree in China and master's degree from UMich. Now, I have been working as a Product Engineer in a semiconductor company in San Jose for 5 years.
Post-MBA plan: Post MBA I would like to chase career opportunities in China for consulting or PE/VC. Ultimately I want to return to my family's business in China for investment.
I know these two schools are similar regarding the ranking, but totally different for other factors, such as location. I am eager to know you guys' opinions and why.
So far this is my pros/cons list on each School:
Duke
Pros:
Good personal fit - good reputation in consulting and nice living environment;
Strong Community and Team Fuqua - alum are very supportive and many resources in China;
Cons:
Brand less known in China compared to Cambridge,
Expensive for two years
Cambridge
Pros:
Reputation for the Cambridge.
Small class.
Nice trend. The ranking is improving every year.
Give me some scholarship and low cost comparing to two year program. I am 31 right now and prefer to finish MBA ASAP.
Cons:
No summer internship.
Young program and less reputation for business school.
Few alumni network.
I am afraid I cannot have many chances to party or travel with peers due to the intensity of 1 year program.
Faulty's experiences may be not as good as Duke.

I would go with Fuqua, I feel given the fact you are planning on returning to your family business the MBA experience at Fuqua seems to align better with your interests. I'm not sure either program has a huge reputation in China but the size of Fuqua's alumni network overall is probably larger. Two good options. Congrats!
