Fuqua (Duke) Class of 2016: Calling all applicants!

There are few applicants on GMAT club who had to pick between those two, so we they will be happy to address any questions/concerns you may have. Good Luck!

For those of you waiting for the good news tomorrow, here is how Duke releases its decisions: Starting early morning tomorrow (5 am ET), adcom members will start making calls to every admitted applicant. The calls start from south east Asia and move west. Usually, east coast applicants start getting calls around 8am ET time. I am based in Texas, and got my call at 11:51 ET (I think I was one of the last ones to get a call) and by 2:00 pm ET, all online decisions are released. You should be looking for a 919 area code. Adcom usually spends few minutes on the phone with you (my call was 5:47), so be prepared to go to a quiet spot if you are at work.

Good Luck everyone and we, the EA admits, are very excited to greet all of you. Once you get admitted, make sure to add yourself to the Facebook group (search: The Duke MBA - Daytime Class of 2016) and start connecting with other other admits.

DISCLAIMER: I don't work in admissions and adcom can change things up this time.

Go Blue Devils!

Is there a way I can update my Contact Phone Number? When i submitted my application i gave them my India number, but am currently in the US..

Sure. Just email application-processing@fuqua.duke.edu.

I did not get a chance to visit Durham but got in touch with a number of students and alumni and realized that Fuqua is by far my first preference. I understand that the experience of visiting a school is very personal but still I am glad to hear such good things about Duke from you guys. GO DEVILS!!

Thanks a ton..Just sent them an email..

Fingers crossed...

5 a.m.? Seriously they do that on a winter morning.... But looking at the last year messages , it looked like they start calling around 8-10 ET to Indians.... I am very very scared...This is going to be a long night.

Oh my GOD I am so nervous. And excited.. but mostly nervous. Good luck with the next 20 hours guys!

I am in the same boat. Tomorrow, my waiting season will end (and my partying season will begin? as if it hasn't already after I was notified by Johnson?)

Best of luck, everyone!

They have a adcom representative who sits in London, so I believe she might call few people in extreme time zones, but yes, Indians are called closer to 8ET. Good Luck!

Hi Everyone! I've been reading, but haven't posted until now. I can't wait to hear back tomorrow!!! Is anyone else in Healthcare looking at the HSM program? And if so, is anyone considering Kenan-Flagler as well with their new healthcare program? Fuqua is my first choice, but if Kenan-Flagler offered me a lot more in scholarships, then I don't know what I would do. I'm a former Tarheel btw and just moved back to the area, so I don't want to leave again! If anyone has questions about living in Durham, ask away! I live there now and love it!

I'm not looking at HSM specifically, but my interest in Duke is because I'm into health and wellness. What better place to be to network?

Just a little over 14 hours to go!

Let's do this!!

Good luck everybody! We'll know our fate soon enough.

Would be an excellent early X-mas gift!

Last remaining hope.

Same here man....Probably something to do with our same surnames - "Sharma"
