I believe Ross does not offer loans without co-signer anymore. Your short list of schools are good, and your qualification is right up the alley for those schools. One thing I would recommend you do more research on is where you want to work after school. Although all of those schools have strong pl...

Duke has a good reputation in supply chain and logistics. I typically shy away from referring to rankings, especially reputation based rankings such as US News. However, the ranking does provide a reasonable indicator of the strength of a school. Fuqua is in the top 15 when it comes to specialty ran...

Fuqua has a exchange program with University of Cape Town in South Africa. There's also a GATE trip to South Africa. Last year, a group of students organized a Habitat for Humanities trip to Cameroon. I'm not sure if there are anything in East Africa, but one thing about Fuqua is that many of the ac...

Most of the Indian students want jobs in the US and get them. The economy is picking up, so it's a sellers market (seller = MBAs).

That's really a hard question to answer, because I only have the Fuqua perspective. My guess is that neither school is particularly strong internationally. Probably true for any US school. However, in the long-term, I believe (or hope) that Fuqua will be a stronger brand internationally. Fuqua is bu...

First of all, congrats on getting into both schools! You need to ask yourself which one of your goals is the most important. For marketing, Fuqua is hands down the better school than McCombs. I’m not familiar with the situation at McCombs, but I believe for non-profit management and international ...

Thanks Ttronn and Sawdle, for the replies. Ttronn, that's exactly what I'm afraid of. I don't have much in the way of extracurriculars so I'm sure that doesn't help. I'm still thinking (wishfully) that I can hopefully get into Anderson...I know that it probably would pay off to wait for next year f...
