Duke (Fuqua) 2013 - Calling All Waitlisted Applicants

I was wondering what happend to you, GL today!

Yeah, I try to avoid except on admissions days to keep the stress down

MY WL decision from March is no longer there, but no other decision also isn't.

That guy was WL w/o interview and then invited to interview in R3, so I am guessing that's why they took his decision offline - maybe they did it for people who will get a admit/denial. I can't think of any other reasons....

Oh, there must a pretty good reason for it, then. I think you will get your decision today, and we all will be on WL...

Yes - from last year's forum, that is what it seems to mean. So I am guessing I won't be hearing anything today.

Seems like that could be true :-/ I'm still hoping until the decision is official posted though!

Went through last year's forum as well. Seems like only the people who interviewed in R3 or were rejected on R3 notification day had their WL letters taken off. I am still hoping that they won't take off admits letters until later in the day. lol

I wish I had that type of control lol, are you guys thinking NC either way, or is CMU still in the running?

alright, awesome. ahhh still no calls :-/

It begins, someone posted on BTG that they were accepted 2 mins ago!

My WL status seems to have disappeared, but I'm an international applicant, so I think I'll get a decision today anyway.

alright, awesome. ahhh still no calls :-/[/quote]

Last years round 3 calls/decisions weren't posted until after lunch. Maybe someone should call office and ask for the timing. (that might be a bit desperate thou)

So far there are couple admits on GC and one on BTG - seems like none of the WLed candidates has been called yet.

I'll be honest, I may have liked CMU the best out of every place I interviewed. However, Pittsburgh was my least favourite place out of where I interviewed. We'll be heading to NC. We found a place between Duke and UNC, so I am still holding out hope. (Besides, Durham is worlds less expensive than Chapel Hill.) Besides, I'm very interested in Quintiles, and with them in the area, and taking a bunch of Fugua/K-F folks, I might as well be in that location.

Hope there's at least some movement today. Pretty darn antsy.

I hear ya. But I'd MUCH rather be living in Chapel Hill. Super nice town, Durham is pretty iffy in places. But hey, since you'll officially be down there, a summer WL isnt the end of the world for you. If anything, since you'll be local at the time (and make sure they know it) you'll have a better chance of being accepted at the last minute.

Good luck today, but if it doesnt work out you still have plenty of time left.

Yeah, the part of "Durham" I'm in is Durham in post code only. Time Warner and Duke Energy both call it Chapel Hill. More or less nestled in between Chapel Hill and Cary but still in Durham County proper. You go the one minute into Chapel Hill and prices go up 30%-40%. I was worried about "Durham", as well, but I have friends and family in the area that could scout out the area for me previously.

Yeah, I honestly didn't know how to play the "I'm going to be living in Durham regardless" card. Hopefully that's seen as a positive instead of a "maybe he'll just apply next year"...even though I have a good offer from K-F. Who knows?

Good luck to you too
