Got the scholarship from Darden, but was wondering whether case method will be a big challenge for international students. Another concern is that the Darden's alumni network in south east Asia might not be as strong as Fuqua.
Hard to make the decision...

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Darden and Fuqua are comparable schools. It all comes down to cultural fit but when the scholarship from Darden is that big, I would definitely lean towards Darden. Also, I would think that even if the Darden brand isn't well known to the public at SEA, most of top MBA recruiters would know about the Darden brand. (0)
