Why is Duke Fuqua not as highly ranked (I.e., M7) despite some of its acceptance rates and yield statistics. I understand there know there a lot of things that go into rankings but curious why this is.

McKinsey & Company I received an offer from McKinsey & Company in 2021 and I’ll be starting later this year after graduation. Obviously because of the pandemic, inflation is slowly trending upwards. Has anyone asked for a base salary increase before even starting the job? Any advice on how to approach this?

Because the parent name is very weak internationally and has almost zero brand recognition outside of the states. Internationals make up nearly half the student body at many top ranked schools and pay more money. My parents would get mad at me if I went to duke or even Kellogg
Bro lives for his parents approval lmao
Fuqua is notoriously heavy on yield protection, which pumps those numbers up. If you’re a very strong candidate and they think there’s no chance you’d actually accept, they’ll waitlist/reject you
Duke is far from being an M7. You still have Haas, Tuck, SOM, Stern in line 😂.
Also, you can easily manipulate the acceptance and yield numbers.
Their emp reports are also pretty bad when you compare to the one’s listed above, and that doesn’t even include Darden.
