Experience during the program

The students, the, faculty, the facilities, & the alum network are fantastic. Everyone is self-motivated, helpful to one another, & smart. I have loved being in Durham because of the low cost of living relative to the locations of other top business schools. It is a highly underrated "foodie" city and the weather is fantastic. In my opinion, the biggest area for improvement is the quality of the career center and related counseling. I would recommend that future applicants do a campus tour, sit in on a class, and talk with current students to get a sense for whether or not the culture fits their personality.

I completed a mock interview with Esther Magna before interviewing with several top schools and found it extremely helpful. Her insights into both the interview process, as a whole, and the criteria used by the specific schools for which I was preparing were invaluable. I know that I felt more at ease going into my interviews after having done a "trial run" with someone who was helpful and friendly but still felt more formal than just rehearsing with a friend. I took the notes from our conversation with me on all of my interviews and wove Esther's constructive criticism into my planned responses. I was accepted to a few of my dream schools and even offered a generous monetary fellowship at one of them. I highly recommend Esther for mock interviews and/or general consulting re: the admissions and interview process. She is a fantastic resource!!
