Did you all fill out this form?
https://dukefinancialaid.duke.edu/forms/ ... quest.html

From what I read, we're supposed to fill out that form after submitting the FAFSA, but if that's the case, what do we put for "Unique ID" and "Duke Email Address"?
I filled one awhile back. I didn't put Unique ID or Duke Email Address. I confirmed with Duke that they've received the form. They didn't say anything about needing anymore information, so I assume that it was okay.

I have been wondering what the BDW schedule will look like. This is the best I could find, which is last year's schedule, and I'm guessing that it will at least give you a rough idea of what to expect.

https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/mba/daytime/e ... agenda.pdf

And here's the opening page from last year which gives you some additional info.

https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/mba/daytime/e ... index.html

I think the deal is that everything is all largely student run (which we all know) and this year the students have not been real great about ensuring we have a great experience as applying/admitted students. :( I have a friend who is a first year and that was his take.

I guess the wait for BDW information is finally over.

Official Website: https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/blue_devil_weekend

I know all the admits probably got the e-mail. For the R2s, it'll help you plan accordingly.

Anyone, any idea which parcel service does Duke uses to send the admin packs? I would be nice to be able to track the delivery...

There's $39 Southwest flight to/from RDU during BDW:

To Baltimore for as low as $39 one-way
To Birmingham for as low as $39 one-way
To Cleveland for as low as $39 one-way
To Indianapolis for as low as $39 one-way
To Jacksonville for as low as $39 one-way
To Nashville for as low as $39 one-way
To Philadelphia for as low as $39 one-way

https://travel.southwest.com/specialoffe ... 0000100209

nice, i might drive to nashville then fly there if it's $39.

aolaiz,
I think asimov said for US candidate it's usps first class mail. For international students it will be UPS/fedex.

It ended up getting rescheduled for Thursday March 18th at 5:30 at Zengo. :oops: Hopefully you saw that on the Facebook group page.

Just sent my deposit for the class of 2012, and I'm very excited for school next fall.

Does anyone have better information for calculating the cost of attending Fuqua? The school's website gives some cost estimates, but they seem pretty far off. For example, the $6,350 budgeted by the school for rent seems ridiculously low given the apartment prices I have seen online, which seem to be double what the school has estimated. Any help on better budgeting information (or cheaper apartments) would be much appreciated.

From what I saw during BDW, that seems pretty accurate. 2BR apts are $1000/month (+/-) depending on what you want (and w/ BDW special pricing), and you could probably go even cheaper than that if you want to live in a house with 2/3+ other classmates.

I am pretty sure that the $6,350 figure is based on a 9 month lease. Also, as long as you don't live in the Lofts or Station 9, you could probably stretch $6.3k into a full year of housing at some of the cheaper complexes. Somebody had a housing report for Duke in either this thread or the "Calling All Duke 2010 applicants" thread. You should start there.

Does anyone have the list of apartment specials? I had to leave before the apartment tour.

Also, that housing estimate included utilities, so add probably another 50-100 - eek.

Nope, though they said "around the month of May" ... which could mean before the end of the month, or also the beginning of June ...

I guess we need that to finalize our financial packages and such, right? I feel like in general there is going to be a lot of stuff coming up that we'll need to take care of in a hurry; August 1 will be here in no time.

-----

Do any of you plan on doing any pre-MBA internships and such? That Deloitte thing looked somewhat interesting, but it overlapped into our orientation. I saw the P&G, Bain, and a few other shorter opportunities that I may look into, but that all depends on how my moving schedule shapes up.

I'm glad to see that you decided on Fuqua. Yeah, I'm heading out of the country in a week, I was hoping to get that information to confirm FinAid, and start taking that business computers application class.
