"During the application cycle, I had the opportunity to interact with admissions officials and students from a number of business schools. What stood out to me was the amount of time, energy, and effort that Fuqua students invested in helping me apply and eventually receive an acceptance."

Why I Chose Fuqua
I chose Fuqua because of how much this school invests in people. That investment in people has remained a constant throughout my time at Fuqua. Despite pursuing a non-traditional career path of launching my company instead of recruiting, Fuqua created a support system for me beyond traditional classes. Solely through entrepreneurial opportunities on campus with events such as Fuqua Fast Pitch and the strong mentorship culture, I was able to raise $35,000 to fund my venture over the summer. This support has positioned me to launch and work on my startup after graduation.
5 of My Favorite Fuqua Activities
- Fuqua Friday. I love coming together with the larger Fuqua community and closing the week out on a high.
- INDUS Diwali Celebration. A little bit of home away from home.
- Orientation Offsite. Team Fuqua is real, and it all begins on day 1! Spending a day with my section and C-LEAD outdoors and participating in team-building activities was the best way to make friends and find my community early in the year.
- Campout. An unforgettable Duke tradition that has bonded my classmates and me for life.
- Rise Against Hunger. I found a place with a shared passion for social impact and this event truly exemplifies that passion.
