Got my interview scheduling email half an hour ago.

I am an international located far from Duke interview centers. When I completed interview section in the application I just selected the closest location to me from the drop down menu because there was no other option.

Now the email says that I will be invited for interview to the location I selected. And if I am unable to schedule the interview in this location, my application may be moved to the next application round!

Does this mean that Duke does not allow phone or skype interviews?

Same type of question here - I chose NYC to interview just to offer the most flexibility, but now I have a strong preference to head to Durham. I've already sent a quick email to admissions to see if a change is possible (although I'm sure they're focused on students with much worse scheduling difficulties), but I was wondering if any R1 applicants had a similar experience, or if any R2 applicants have a similar NYC vs. Durham issue.

Have any Round 1 applicants heard anything about scholarships yet?


I heard two days after they admitted us.

For everyone worried about interviewing on campus months ago and not hearing anything now- don't worry. If anything, I think the AdCom will look favorably upon it- you spent the time and money to go visit, interview, and spend a day with current students- I don't think you should be regretting that now. I was in your same shoes when round one interview invites went out and then lo and behold, I was admitted a month later with a substantial scholarship.

You'll be fine :)

To answer your question- I heard back about scholarship last Thursday the 3rd, via phone call.

Just booked my flight. The Thursday Feb 24th 9:50pm flight to RDU from NYC is only $54.70 with taxes. There are more Fuqua activities on Friday than Saturday. I was going to schedule the interview on Saturday but decided against it because of I plan to have copious amounts of alcohol Friday night :-D

I just got my invite as well. I'm going to ask this question to the adcoms but wanted to see if anyone has already done it: is there a way to change the pre-determined interview location?

I changed mine a couple of weeks ago, so yes. Just call them up today and switch it.

Booked my travel to Durham to interview Saturday, Feb. 19th. I've already missed too much work for this process, can't do it anymore. If anyone is interviewing that day, let me know and we can meet up! :)

I got the scheduling mail, as well. It said that the interview team captain for my location would contact me within the next week to help schedule an interview with an alum.

I'll be interviewing at Duke on Saturday, February 19th! I'm doing student panel, CASE, school tour, and interview. I hope not participating in everything doesnt look bad. I'm just unable to.

I was accepted in the November Round and I ended up missing all of the activities on Friday (student panel, Fuqua Friday, etc.) when I visited Duke in January. I interviewed, took a tour of campus and sat in on a class on Saturday.

Any Nov. Round admits receive a hard copy of their letter and a jump drive from Fuqua yet?

Also, does anyone know if all scholarship recipients are called and told of their award or are some recipients notified in their admissions packet?

Quick question, a friend told me that Duke accepted more students than its class size in 2010, so Duke asked those who were accepted in 2010 to defer matriculation for a year. If this is true, does that mean the acceptance rate for 2011 will be slightly lower than that for 2010 due to the deferred admission?

I assume you mean that more admitted students accepted their offers last year (thus boosting Fuqua's yield). Every school accepts more applicants than they have spaces because even elite b-schools don't have 100% yield rates.

I haven't heard anything like that for Fuqua, though I believe that scenario occurred at Tuck last year.

I know people that were admitted off the waitlist very late in the summer, so I don't see how this could be true.
