Duke Fuqua 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Hi,

Can anyone post a list of interview questions asked at Fuqua? I'm interviewing in first week of Oct. in open house program.

Thanks.

Hi asimov,

I visited Fuqua last dec and attended a class and took a tour. Applying in EA. Scheduled an interview two weeks from now. Any suggestions for interview preparations?

Thanks.

It was very laid back and coversational. It felt more like a conversation (although I did most of the talking) than an interview.

There were no really crazy questions, mainly Tell me about yourself, Why MBA? Why Fuqua? Why now?

Mine lasted about 50 min, with about 10 min at the end for me to ask questions. My interviewer was very informative and answered all my questions fully.

Thanks tfincham86 for such a prompt response and sharing your experience. How did you prepare for your interview and long you were you working on interview preparations?

thanks.

Hello everyone!

I am in for Round 1!

Submitted my application! Now waiting for news - hopefully, good ones. Good luck to all of you guys. p.s. the application fee waiver feels terrific!

Fee waiver? I'll take one of those... Would be nice to get the entire thing waived instead of $100 to put towards visit/interview in 2 weeks.

I have question about GMAT score reporting. I took the GMAT twice. I reported my second GMAT score (which is lower than the first one) to Duke during my second GMAT exam. Do I need to send my first score to Duke ?
My reasoning is--they should have my first score as well, as it should have been reported along with second score.

I haven't applied to any schools yet so I can't be certain, but I was under the impression that you can (and probably should) report your highest score, as it is the one most schools consider.

I would send the first one as well, why take the chance?

I am pretty sure the score report you send has all scores that are not yet expired on it. I might be mistaken, but you might want to confirm with the GMAT or Duke and see what they have.

For those who are interested in leadership rotational program. GE recently published an article written by a Duke SY MBA student on its ECLP blog.

The article perfectly demonstrates the level of visibility from companies that you can get here at Fuqua: https://eclpblog.com/blog/2011/9/29/duke ... he-fe.html

The student had a roundtable with GE's CMO.

In for EA round.

Yes I believe it does too, but who knows, what if they don't look at the official score until they want to confirm it after accepting a candidate? They may just go off of what someone puts in their application as they make their decisions. This is just hypothetical, I have no idea how they do it, but I wouldn't want to risk it.

Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I will send them score again.

I too applied for DUKE, my score is not great but hoping to get since it is R1
