Based on the admit letter that you should've already received, we should expect a separate email with the login credentials. Not sure when though - It was listed as step #2 after deposit payment and confirming acceptance. Not sure if this means #2 will only happen after #1 is completed, i.e. after Duke receives our deposit, OR #2 can happen in parallel to #1.

You'll get a login to the admit portal in a few days via email. No deposit necessary for that information.

Congratulations everyone who got accepted!
I have a question. I am applying round 3. One of my recommenders will not make it on deadline. How Fuqua treats late recommendation letters?

Adcoms in general are pretty flexible with the submission date of recommendations as long as the delay is reasonable e.g. 1-2 days late. One of my recommenders submitted a day late and it didn't affect my application. I was planning to inform adcom if the recommender needed more than 2 extra days. A 1-week delay may be pushing it since it may reflect poorly on your skills in managing your recommendations, e.g. Adcom may unfairly draw the conclusion that you had poor judgement on people and picked those that don't have your best interests, OR you didn't give your recommenders sufficient time.

Yep, that did it for me. Reset my password, then logged in using my lowercase email and temporary password. Thanks.

As a fellow Longhorn, the best advice I can give is to keep fighting and things will work out for you. I've definitely been humbled by the MBA application process myself, so as frustrating as it can be, the most important lesson that I learned through this process was that nothing is guaranteed in life.

The whole bschool application process reminds me a bit of 'rush,' if any of you were in the Greek system in college. It's definitely a hands-on process that requires a lot of high-touch communication. There's nothing that can quite replace the thrill of getting a phone call inviting you to the 'cool kids club.' It generates a lot more excitement than to get a letter with no personal touch. I definitely appreciate that students are on vacation and ad coms are busy, but maybe next year they'll start doing calls before the email notification.
Nonetheless, excited to get an acceptance! Did GMATClub just change Fuqua AdCom behavior? After all the complaints in R1, and losing aerien to Yale, Fuqua AdCom finally puts some personal touch to the admission process. +1 for social media! +1 for Fuqua AdCom responding to social media!

Haha I didn't realize I had such power, especially at a school I didn't matriculate at (hmm..I wonder what I can do at Yale?)!  But props to Fuqua for the changes. I'm sure the R2s who received that phone call appreciate it!!

Props to the Fuqua adcom team for responding to the feedback in this application cycle instead of waiting until the next one. Love the pic of Liz and Meghan making the admit calls! Saw it on Fuqua's Facebook account yesterday. Schools that embrace the social media such as Fuqua, Darden and Tuck make the long and challenging application process better and more personalised. FYI - I've already received the second email with instructions on how to log in to the admitted student site.
