Duke (Fuqua) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Waitlisters -- I started the Fuqua WL thread. It was a huge help to me last year (at least there's a place to commiserate with everyone else who's waiting!). Good luck everyone and hopefully EA-ers see some movement soon.

R1s -- January has finally come. Good luck next week As we've seen before, no calls will go out before hand. Status update emails seem to be sent out either around noon ET or 3:30 pm ET and after, and if admitted, you'll then receive calls from your interviewer as well as your Fuqua Buddy. January 8th will certainly be a day of constant inbox refreshing!

ive been dreaming about getting the admit from Fuqua for the past few nights. Ive never wanted something so badly before!!

You seem to be asking two separate questions and I will address them separately.

1) Can I send scans of transcripts on my application?

All scans of transcripts (official or unofficial) are considered unofficial. AFAIK, in the States, all college transcripts must be sealed in the envelope to be considered official. Thus, anything that gets sent through Apply Yourself will be considered self-reported and unofficial.

After you are admitted, you are required to have your official transcripts sent and I had ordered sealed transcripts to be sent to my house and I resent everything in a large envelope post admittance. Which leads to your next question of..

2) What do I do if the college I went to wont give me any copies of official transcripts if Duke needs them as part of the admission verification process?

If your college wont send you official transcripts, they should be at least able to send them on your behalf directly to the school (in this case, Duke). This is a service that all colleges should be able to provide regardless of accreditation status.

I just saw this in my inbox while looking for my login details: the R2 deadline is mentioned in the R2 Deadline Notification (sent to me on 28 Dec). It's January 4 at 11:59PM EST, so there's still time!

Just submitted mine

For the people asking about letters of rec being in late: one of my letters wasn't submitted on time for round 1. A few days later I received an email saying that the deadline for missing materials is 11/12/12 in order to be considered for round 1. When my letter of rec was submitted a day later, I received confirmation of that submission. Shortly after, I received an email saying the applicaftion was ready to proceed towards the evaluation stage.

That was close

Typically late in the afternoon - between 2pm and 5pm EST you'll get an email.
The decision letter will be there when you log in.

Know that others (myself included) have refreshed the applicant page throughout the afternoon.
Doesn't make the decision come faster - but your letter will be there before the email goes out.

Giving the time difference between US and China, I think I won't have a good sleep tonight

Your countdown failed me...no decision and it's 00:00:00:00

jk, it kept me entertained for days

Admitted! So stoked.

IN!!!

Waitlisted! Congrats to everyone who got in

Admitted! If I was so happy ever before.. I don't remember it!

Just when I was feeling rejected and was ready to apply for the class of 2016, I got the acceptance from Duke. Yippee, I am on cloud nine.

For those who couldn't make it.. DON'T GIVE UP.. the darkest hour is just before the dawn!

Woah.. super!
add a few more dollars for your MBA budget. I'm sure (hope) fellow admits are gonna squeeze a lot on the BDW

congratulations to all the admits... great to see familiar names get into an awesome school!

This looks pretty funny now, huh??
Congrats!

Congrats all the R1 admits. Welcome to Team Fuqua!
Now you can give advice on GMATClub like you own the place =D

Don't give up hope all the waitlisters.
