General Greetings prospective Executive MBA students!
It looks like there are at least a few of you out there that are looking for information about the CCMBA program or Duke/Fuqua in general, and you eventually make your way here. Cool.

I’ve never been one to second-guess myself, so for both sittings I chose the free option and submitted my test results.

Fuqua Application With my GMAT score in place, and four business schools remaining on my short list, it was time to do some research to determine which school(s) to apply to, and in which order. As I learned from my test taking fiasco, without proper preparation and research you can spend a lot of time, effort and money and get very little to show for it.
Rather than rely solely on school rankings such as those published by BusinessWeek or U.S. News & World Report, I decided to thoroughly research each program, starting with the school website. Here’s what I learned:
