Fuqua second-year energy consultant

Experience during the program

I came to Fuqua primarily for the school's strong energy curriculum and have been very pleased with the many learning and networking opportunities both in and outside the classroom. In addition, the school has a lot of support for the big MBA career paths (consulting, banking, tech, marketing, etc.). My suggestion for applicants is that they take time and get to know what makes Fuqua's culture different, particularly the "Team Fuqua" concept. I thought Team Fuqua sounded like a cheesy marketing line when I was applying, but now that I've been here as a student it's very tangible. 90% of classwork is done in teams and during recruiting season classmates will drop everything to help each other out with informational interviews, case prep, and networking. The supportive culture here is very real and a big differentiator for Fuqua.
