Darden and fuqua are regarded equally. Duke is regarded higher than UVA. Career wise (tech included) where you go won't really matter. lifestyle wise you'd be doing yourself a bigger favor living in Charlottesville for 2 yrs.

Fuqua probably has the edge for tech recruiting, but it all depends on how much you want to change it up. I got into both and am going to Fuqua for 2020! Also want to do tech :)

Go to Darden

Is darden generally higher regarded than fuqua? Thought it was the other way around - perhaps that’s for consulting. For you, do darden to diversify the network (assuming you were mcintire prior

BA - mcintire? I think that Darden and Fuqua are about even as BSchools, but Duke is probably a better overall name than UVA

Oh whoops I meant duke business ug

Duke doesn’t have a business undergrad degree, but I was Econ, which is the closest thing. But not a part of Fuqua like other schools might be

LEK Cool, thanks for the insight! I agree, C’Ville is better than Durham. Good to hear some validation the recruiting is essentially even

Hi Sharks,

I have got CapG offer and was abt to join by 12th Sept.
But my onboarding has been postponed due to BGV pending.

Actually, we had our ancestors property which we gave it for development in 2013 to a local vendor but in 2017 from nowhere an unknown and non local person came and filed a false acquisition in court stating it's there property.

After vendor replying to it, none from opposition came to court for atleast one hearing from past few yrs. And the case is still pending.
