Duke MQM Student Blog

While MQM events are great social activities, they help students build the interpersonal skills that recruiters look for and create a community that makes the MQM experience more meaningful and memorable.

I’m grateful to Duke and Fuqua for offering me not just an education, but a place where I felt seen long before I was officially a student.

The Fuqua Quantitative Management Programs Data Competition motivated us to find new applications for machine learning and data analysis in a field that we’re deeply passionate about: sports.

During the MQM program, there will be times when the tide of time is switching so fast you can’t keep up, but things that you are passionate about will keep you affixed to the ground.

The decision to become an admissions ambassador wasn’t just about getting involved on campus — it was about giving back to a community that had already given me so much.

My time at Duke was life-changing in more ways than one, and while the experience was incredible, I’m most grateful for the friendships I developed along the way.

Adjusting to life in the U.S. was about more than just adapting to a new food culture; it was about finding a way to feel at home in a place that was vastly different from where I grew up.

Amid the challenges of the MQM program — whether grappling with various machine learning methods or mastering the design of data visualization dashboards — I could always rely on the abundance of sporting events throughout the year as a welcome reprieve.
