I wish we had an app for..

1. Smelling a fragrance and telling you what brand it is.
2. Searching for a song by just humming it.
3. Fashion-policing for how do you look - just like mirrors in Harry Potter books!

Am I asking too much?

Kick starting the MBA journey!

The MBA season is up, and I have started my applications with Duke Fuqua.

It was not long ago that I started narrowing down my list. Not that I did not have a list beforehand, but few MBA Crystal interviews and few other blogs inspired me to aim a little higher. In one of such pursuits I stumbled across Early Action round for Duke Fuqua.

The concept of withdrawing applications from all other colleges sounded so threatening at first. But Fuqua did not take long to prove why it fits for an EA round. The school is all about positive vibes. So I thought, why not share few good resources I found for Duke Fuqua.

So here I list my list of places to look for insider information for Fuqua:

1. Start off with business week. No I do not mean the ranking, but look for finer print with recent graduates comments sections. I found this section to be personally very helpful in drilling down to initial list of schools. Duke Fuqua amazed me in this section. Students sounded so enthusiastic! Insider Information # 1

2. The school website: Guys. No gyaan. But this is indeed your bible. I went through the entire site one by one. It was like finding hidden gems - small notes in collapsed section about tips for essays, other useful stats about the school.

3. My favorite : Blog by Duke Fuqua students. This was the stage I fell in lve with Fuqua. The student experiences on this blog impressed me beyond limits. The enthusiasm, the classroom experience just amazed me! This was my insider information place # 2.

4. Duke Chronicles website - another website that fed my hunger to know more about Duke Fuqua.

5. You needn't come this far - I am plain obsessed! :P I read even the Cross Continent MBA program blog. All the archive I guess.

So I am nearly done with my essay. My obsession shows in my essays as well. I hope Fuqua falls in love with me as much as I fell in love with it!

Signing off,
