I didn't get an invite :(. however, it says that "please note that this is not a final decision on your application. The interview invitation process is highly selective. It is possible that you would be invited to interview at a later stage in this round or in future rounds. If your interview status should change, our office will notify you directly."

Does anyone know if its common to get an invite later on?

Its not common, but it's certainly possible. Last year, I think on GMATClub, only one person was invited for an interview after initially being not invited, but he was later dinged.

Congratulations to all invited to interview! Being selected for the interview means the adcom liked something in your application. This is a good time to review your entire profile again to make sure that if there are any potential gaps then to emphasize the countering strength in your interview. Lets bring it home!

For all not invited, there is a chance that you might be waitlisted without an interview. I believe there were 3 or 4 candidates last year who were brought in for round 2 or round 3 for interviews because the adcom probably felt they needed to round out the class a bit more in a certain category.

+1

If you see any gaps in your profile, make sure you have a plan to address them because you will be asked! But also, best thing to do to prepare for the interview is STICK TO YOUR STORY. Be genuine, be unique, and emphasize what you can give to Duke in a non arrogant manner.

The interview is done by second years and they are evaluating you as a potential teammate and classmate so remember that.

Good luck everyone!

Congrats all who got invited. Few tips I would like to share:

1) If your schedule allows, try to visit campus on a Friday and sign up for the "Fuqua Friday". You will truly get to see the camaraderie among current students and enjoy free dinner and drinks. It will also give you an opportunity to connect with current students in a more laid back environment.

2) Make sure you have your pitch ready on "Why Fuqua" and what you will bring to campus. As you may see, Duke is much more focused on "fit" than your numbers or pedigree - which explains why our average GMAT is lower than other top schools. For "Why Fuqua" question, make sure you say things which are specific to Fuqua only and will not apply to other top schools. You have to convince your interviewers that Duke and you are the best fit.

3) Have 2-3 examples ready for situations when you were in a team setting and faced adversity. They want to know if you are someone who is willing to step up or compromise during dire situations.

4) Be humble and friendly to student hosts. As you will see, current students will visit you in the lobby to answer any questions you may have or help ease your nerves. This is a great time to build some strong connections. If you get waitlisted, one of these students might be willing to write a nice recommendation letter for you.

5) Most importantly, be yourself. If you use humor, make sure to make your interviewer laugh, while being professional.

Feel free to ask any questions. Me, Jokesta and kple12 are willing to help you all.
