Hmm...the only reason why I think Yale might be good choice for Rd3 is because of the recent drop in rankings and the poor job placement. There might be some applicants who will go somewhere else just based on those two things. Regardless of what rankings say, I am still applying to Yale in round3 this year, because I think its a school which is bound to be in Top10 in few years. I am from a country which usually sends 0-1 kids to each school, so I am hoping that my unique background might help me.. :)


The drop in rankings will definitely have an effect on the yield. I wonder if schools would give out any information on what % of class is admitted in R3. Have you visited Yale yet?

Yes, I did, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think the new building will be amazing. Well all depends on my results at Tuck and Duke during the next few days.

Well good luck at Tuck and Duke. Duke's a fun place. I'll probably take a shot at Yale in R3 too, better than wasting a whole year.

Lol, nope. Expect the decisions to come out early afternoon on Monday. We received our decision around 2pm.


What time zone?

Waiting sucks balls. Monday can't come soon enough.

I just got an e-mail from Pearson Vue confirming an order for an official score report being sent to Duke. It says that it was just ordered today, though I haven't ordered any reports in months.

Would this be because Fuqua ordered the report? Anyone else get an e-mail like this?

It also says the order price is 56.00, but no payment was made, here is part of it below:

ORDER SUMMARY
Order Number: 0007-5983-4986
Order Date: Mar 13, 2013 11:17 AM (11:17)
Payment By: None
Order Price: USD 56.00
Amount Paid: USD 0.00


I remember hearing somewhere that some schools only use your official transcript to verify your scores before they admit you. I think it means that you are on the "admitted" list and someone in adcom is just making sure that you didn't lie on the app. Given the timing, I doubt that they are just reviewing your app. Go buy yourself a drink!


I got these emails too. I would guess it was more of a fluke than an indication that we got in, but I sure hope that is what it means!!

Yup, I got it yesterday. I just got another email from them though. It was a score report fulfillment email. Anyone else get it?

I have not received any recent emails from PearsonVUE, however I did get a Score Report Fulfillment in Dec. after taking the GMAT, Duke was one of the schools I listed when I took it. Have you guys previously sent your scores to Duke?

Yeah, I sent my score reports months ago when I took the test in October. It is probably just a weird system generated thing.

Yeah I got that one today as well. Strange.

I also selected Duke when I originally took the test.

I'm sure it's just a fluke at this point. Duke is too tight-lipped to let something slip like that.

On pins and needles here guys....Monday seriously can't come soon enough. I was wait listed at Goizueta, and I'll hear from Tuck and Tepper tomorrow. I'm also going to be applying to Anderson and Georgetown in R3, but i read through some pages, and it looks like Kellogg/Darden/Booth are generous in R3? And Yale too? Any more info on what the percentages are for R3 at each of these schools? I believe UCLA admits 25% of their class in R3...which is pretty high.
