Duke MQM Student Blog

I wanted to know exactly how I could evaluate financial data with analytics tools, but I lacked finance knowledge.

A big reason as to why I chose the Master of Quantitative Management (MQM) program was the ability to dive deep into a particular area of business.

The India and Pakistan Independence Day celebration event enabled me to meet the individuals who are presently my closest friends in the MQM program.

I have always been passionate about engaging in extracurricular activities and serving in whatever community I find myself.

I knew the words Fuqua and Friday, but separately, not as a term “Fuqua Friday.”

The Spring Term 1 Master of Quantitative Management (MQM) Competition is a data visualization competition where students use data to communicate and analyze problems. Alongside my teammates, Yiqi He and Selina Zhou, I participated in the competition to explore racial disparity in the United States.

Graduating during the pandemic after completing my master’s degree from my bedroom was certainly not how I pictured my final moments in the MQM program. However, those last few months brought forth a unique learning experience.

The MQM application can appear to be a very challenging task at first. But with a little help from this blog, hopefully you'll be off to a great start.

Last fall, I had the absolute honor of representing Fuqua and Duke as a finalist in the Adobe Analytics Challenge. I was flown out to Adobe’s headquarters in San Jose, California, to present our big ideas in front of a panel of judges and a live audience.
