"We regret to inform you that you have not been invited to interview; please note that this is not a final decision on your application" - what does this mean?
Dinged totally or waitlisted?

Mayank, I'd love to believe that there is still some hope.
Regardless, work hard on rest of the apps and all the very best to you... :thumbup:

does anyone know how soon they expect you to interview off site and when the last date for interviews are? since the admit date of Oct 29th is awfully close i assume they want to wrap up interviews asap in order to give adcom enough time to process all the interview reports. any insight would be much appreciated.

fyi, i was R2 applicant last year who was invited to interview and then WL till the end of summer.. really hoping for that glimmer of hope earlier this year. but def determined to get a spot this time around!


Congrats guys! Nail the interview... :thumbup:

Duke doesn't do Adcom interviews period. On campus, it's second year MBA students. I assume the alumni will be similar to that - some mandatory questions (strengths, weaknesses, why MBA, why fuqua) and the rest conversational.

unfortunately i got assigned to adcom for skype interview.. not super thrilled about that. was hoping to get face to face interview with alumni. not sure if there simple wasn't enough space in my designated interview city or because i am a reapplicant who interviewed on campus before?

can anyone who has done an adcom interview chime in?? would love to get some feedback on how to approach this interview as it definitely wasn't what i expected initially. thanks!

Don't worry much, adcom guy isn't gonna eat you for lunch.
Regardless, you may make an effort to reach out to them and inform that you are willing to travel a bit and meet their representative face to face for the interview. Trust, a little expenditure (little b'coz you won't be travelling to Durham, duh!) and time might go a long way towards your success.
Cheers for the interview call... and all the best.. :thumbup:

Good to see you too. Have you applied in EA round? How is it going there?

Currently, I am pulling my hair for the "Why Duke" essay. Soon I will have no more hair.

If you're having problems answering Why Duke? then you might actually want to ask yourself, Why Duke?
