Long time since I have posted. Sorry about that. The Paw was busy finding a job and getting good grades. Result - Decent grades. No job. So here's how it works in Fuqua.
1. Term 0 - GIE and LEO start in August. 2 courses. Simple enough. Very Enlightening.
2. Term 1 - 4 core courses - Accounting, Economics, Statistics, Management Communications. Tough courses. But tougher still is attending corporate presentations and sucking up to second years because they have a HUGE say in who gets close listed for interviews.
3. Term 2 - 4 core courses - Strategy, Marketing, Corp. Finance, Management Communications II - Easy courses (depending on who you ask). Sucking up and informational interviews with recruiters continue.
Winter Break - Interviews. Informational and otherwise. I had 8 and got 8 dings!! I am a genious.
4. Term 3 - 1 Core Course - Operations. Pick other courses based on interest. I picked Corp Finance II and Market Intelligence. Good courses if you want to be a consultant/Ibanker. More interviews and rejections.
5. Term 4 - All electives. Pick ANY. I picked Investments, Pricing and decision models. No idea how these are gonna turn up.
In the end, no use of an MBA if no job. I need a friggin internship - STAT!!!! If anyone has any idea where I can get a friggin internship, let me know!! Duke MBA with good grades, consulting experience. Will work for experience !!
