THe best academic department in my opinion is accounting and finance. I haven't had exposure to many other departments, but to the ones I have, accounting, followed but decisions are the stronger academic departments at Fuqua.
Quality of LifeGood weather, easy acess, cheap, great campus and several sport opportunities.
AdmissionsThe application process is similar to that of other top business schools. There is a high GMAT average (around 690) with the 80% range between 640 and 750. This number are not official but is my best estimate by talking to fellow classmates. THeunique question on my year was to describe a leader of consequences. Financial Aid is available for international students and scholarships were awarded to some students.
