Why do they have a Round 3 at all? It looks like getting in from this round is something else
I hear this many times from many people, round 3 in Duke is almost for stealing money and increasing the applications pool to appear good in ranking. I hate Duke and hate Fuqua!, strange name anyway,, they kept sending advertisements emails encouraging to apply for the third round! what a cheaters!
MBAseeker2, I am sorry to hear about your frustration. The Duke MBA Admissions are very clear that Round 3 is an exceptionally difficult round to get admitted through. They are quite candid about the higher admissions rates for the earlier rounds.
By the way, the admissions acceptance rates for Round 3 are typically a function of the yield (enrollment) from the earlier rounds, so if there are very few accepted in R3 this year, it's likely because a high rate of admitted students decided to enroll in the program.
Congrats all students admitted in R3! Be sure to join the facebook group for the Duke MBA Class of 2014: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dukemba2014/
