Interviewing 75% of people through self-initiated and invitations would be very cumbersome.

I was there on Sat of the interview weekend (thurs-tues) and saw around 60-70 people interviewing at least.

Well that might hold true for EA/Round 1, but I doubt they will invite that many people for round 2. I might be wrong.
Also, I thought Duke's class is 450, however they only admitted 432 students last year. Poor yield management?

But yeah, I'd say inviting 50% to interview and then accepting 50% of that makes the most sense I know it's obvious that the quality is higher, my point is that the students were saying that chances are high for those invited to interview. In our meet and greet there was a discussion about it and the students said about 50% of total applicants are interviewed. So considering a large portion of rd 1 applicants self initiate, I'd assume a lower percentage are invited to interview rd 2. Was anyone else in there for this discussion or have a similar one? I do think it would make more sense to be more selective about who is invited to interview, as others have said, to ease the workload. Posted from my mobile device

I uploaded an excel spreadsheet to my dropbox that has some calculations on acceptance. I have it at less than 66% for Round 2. My calculation does not take into account how many people interview during the open interview period and how many of them go on to get accepted. With the way I'm calculating stuff that would def. push it down. https://www.dropbox.com/l/GLQWwo7FizMsAVlrHXYuEbData from http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/ra ... fuqua.htmlhttp://amitkpandeyece.blogspot.com/2012 ... alore.htmland from my estimate and other gmatclubbers estimate of 400 interviewed R2

The only thing I would like to add is that the 400 number is for Durham only, I believe. There must be some who interviewed via skype or at other locations.

(Note: i will get a promotion in between) In case you couldn't read between the lines, there isn't a lot of data in most years, and absolutely zero data for this year. No idea what the rate is, except the majority of their class will have been made from EA, R1 and R2. R3 is deductively competing against waitlisters for the last spots (this is general across many schools, not this individually)

It seems like re-applicants have a pretty decent success rate. If you apply in Rd3, Duke will think you didn't get in anywhere and now just applying to other schools out of desperation. Unless you have an absolute killer profile or a very legitimate reason for applying late, your chances are slim to none. The other thing is if you don't get in, you will have only few months before the EA deadline, and not enough time to improve your app. I would honestly apply EA next year. If you are really set on going to a school this year, apply to ones which are R3 friendly such as Booth/Kellogg/Darden/Ross/NYU etc. Your chances will still be poor but better than at Duke/Dartmouth or other "big on fit" schools.

I am a Rd3 applicant with a very low GMAT (low 600s). I also have been diagnosed with ADHD by a professional. Do you think it will be safe to disclose it to the adcom committee? What's Duke's policy on that? I have never taken the GMAT under special conditions, but now seriously considering it. Rest of my profile pretty strong, i think.
Just wanted to hear from the experts on this forum.

Just wanted to hear from the experts on this forum. Well applying in Round 3 is incredibly difficult as is, so going in with a low GMAT score is not ideal. You could always add information about your ADHD in the "additional information" essay but I think you'd be better off taking it again with extra time and working to get your score up and then applying in R1 next cycle.
