Question

Hi Everyone,

I got admits for Carlson MSBA and Fuqua MQM and I have to make a decision by Jan 5th. I tried making a pros and cons list but both of them are pretty comparable in everything. The differences I got were:

Carlson : Is in a big city and has better ranking and placement stats 
Fuqua: Has a better reputation and has way better weather but many of the forums say it doesn't have good enough placement stats

Their cost and length of the program is the same. I checked the curriculum and it's almost the same, at least the track that I have chosen.
Location wise, I would say Both are situated around the same distance from major cities. Carlson is slightly closer to Indianapolis and then there's Chicago. Duke is slightly closer to Washington and then there's New York.
About past students performance, average mean salary for all is around 80-85k and 99-100% placement by 6th month.
I just feel Duke's alumni network is slightly better than Carlson's, but then I read 2-3 forums which said finding a job after Duke is tough.

Any inputs would help me out considerably.

Both are very good programs, there’s no doubt in that. I personally like Duke’s community and I think it has better global reputation. Hope this helps.
