Calling all Duke-Fuqua Applicants(2015 Intake) Class of 2017

Sometimes even reputable schools make mistakes.
_________________

After my dings from HBS and Wharton , I felt the same way. I started blaming my GMAT .Its funny that my GMAT #2 is scheduled for next tuesday. I cant get a refund now so I might take it just for kicks Things changed drastically in the past two days though.kellogg and duke were far too kind ...Was totally unexpected. My two cents:
Take the GMAT but not at the cost of you round 2 apps . GMAT may seem as the only thing you can improve before round two , but trust me that is not true. There is always room with essays/recommedations-- aim golden ! . 700 is not a bad score , especially if you dont belong to an over represented pool of candidates( I do!). Tuck and Yale are both awesome schoos if you were to pick one. Keep your hopes high brother. Onwards now !

Thats a lot of green man ! nice going

Congrats to all that got in. If you need any help or have any questions about nexts steps or anything else. Feel free to ask.

Enjoy the holidays!

Does anybody know if scholarships have already been offered and granted? I don't know where, I read that scholarships would be released by the time they informed about admission, but I'm reading the Financial Aid Guide Book (https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/finaid-new/us ... Procedures)_2014-2016.pdf) and there it's stated that scholarships are communicated one week after admission notice.

Any help?

I got in guys! All of you were like a huge support group for the longest period I have known. I have lurked and lurked and finally I got accepted.

My heartiest congratulations to everybody who made it and I look forward to meeting you in person soon.

P.S: No information about the Financial Aid - Got a 1 page offer. Do you guys recommend I write to the ADCom after few days?

I don't think your GMAT is the correct route to go. 700 is good enough for the military demographic. If your profile is a West Pointer, with a 700 GMAT, and a 3.5 GPA there was something else that rubbed the Adcoms the wrong way. Did you get any current students to proof read your essays for story/content? Did you study the usual questions for the interview or get a current student to do a mock? Your profile is a lot better than mine so there is something in the essays or interview that wasn't working. Have you looked at Cornell?

I was informed during the call about my scholarship. Also, when you log into SISS to view your acceptance letter there should be an additional page with scholarship info (if you received one). Hope that helps!

Congrats to all of you who got in!
Did anyone waitlisted in EA round get a decision update in SISS?

Nope No scholarships on the admission letter. Indian male Sooooooo.......

Neither are top choice, but just strange. Happy with where I'm at, just a little confused...

Hearty congratulations to all admitted and best wishes for anyone wait-listed.

Admitted students please do join the admitted students thread here - calling-all-duke-fuqua-accepted-applicants-2015-intake-class-of-187772.html

Well. Forget about Duke and Darden and aim much higher in R2. Good luck!

I got waitlisted in EA , but haven't received a mail nor do I see an update on the application status page. I'm thinking of writing to them and finding out.

did anyone start a WL thread?

Hi, I'm a R2 applicant to Fuqua. Can anyone share with me the resume format/ template to be used?

Use any B- school resume format you like . The one given in the application is just a suggestion from the school . You don't " have to -have to " use it .

On the same boat.... hey, at least you have KF!

Even if you are already accepted into a school, you might as well take the extra GMAT test seriously. When you apply for job interviews, a lot of the top companies ask for your GMAT. I think that the fact that I got a 770 helped me get 14 summer internship interviews with all of the top consulting companies other than BCG. A lot of the companies even asked for SAT scores, which is crazy, I took them 12 years ago!
