Round 1
refurb - submitted 10/19; interview 11/17

Again, just for good measure, if you are going to say " I applied in X round, can you just take an extra second and keep it going in this format?
Cheers-

Please note that your application will not be considered complete until fully legible transcripts are received for each college or university you have attended.
Prior Undergraduate College/University

Question regarding the form. For the "Number of employees you manage directly (not indirect reports or shared staff)" does one have to be a line manager /responsible for performance reviews / salaries ... or does being a supervisor/lead of a team count?

I'm using times new roman, 10pt font, and 1" margins all the way around.

Essay #3 was 530 and it filled a page. For my first essay, all I had to do was decrease the margins by 0.1" and I gained two extra lines because so many of the lines were cut short because of the words I used. RF

These are my statistics for Duke essays : Essay 1 - 542 words Essay 2 - 545 words Essay 3- 528 words Essay 4 - 1137 words Margins: 0.5 left,right, top, bottom Font : 10 pt, Verdana Line Spacing: 1.5 Personally, I am not a big fan of Times New Roman. I use Verdana or Century Gothic. According to me, Times New Roman in 10 font looks too small. I know I am little nasty on the margins. Today, my sole task is to make my essays taut so that I can make my margins 1.0

I have the same resume for all my schools so I don't have to change it too much. I also am not planning to change the formatting/indentation....my version is v. legible I just put my resume in the Duke format. At first I was nervous because I had a lot of detail on my true "professional resume." I have worked for 3 companies post grad and I've had 3 distinct functions at my current job. I maintained 5 lines for name/address, 2 lines for education, and 3 lines for personal info. I actually think I like it better than my other resume!! Looking at my Duke version, I definitely understand what is meant by "less is more."

Is a suit necessary for interview? I never wore one and that would be the first time for me.

The sample resume is intended for job purposes, I find it weird to add that section in my resume for a B-school app. Any thoughts?

Actually, they recommend business casuals for interviews at Duke. I even called them to confirm that.

I actually like it, because it allowed me to put some general commentary around my experience and discuss a bit more touchy/feely stuff that normally wouldn't be put directly under roles/responsibilities. As an example, I say that I have worked with various high level executives, including Director of X, Chief <INSERT> Officer, etc.
