That was what my interviewer told me as well...I have a feeling the decisions will be out earlier than 25th

Man I hope that's true. It would really help my piece of mind to see an acceptance sooner than the end of the month.

Of course, if I'm dinged, then I guess don't really need to get an early start on sinking into an alcohol-fueled depression. :wink: I kid, I kid.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I was wondering - when does Fuqua start calling admitted students? Do they do it one day prior to the decision day (in this case, 24 March) like Booth or do they spread out the phone calls over a week or so like Kellogg in the run up to the decision deadline? Maybe R1 admitted students can shed some light on this?

If you read through the previous posts, you'll find that this is very unlikely. In both of the previous rounds, decisions were released on the decision date mentioned on the website (ie March 25 for R2). Assuming that they follow the same protocol as R1, you'll receive an email late in the day on the 25th telling you to log into check your status. No phone calls.

i interviewed on campus yesterday. didn't come out feeling very confident in my answers. i knew my story, didn't get tripped up really on anything. a couple questions i took a little time to think over, but some of my answers i'm kicking myself for. nonetheless, good experience. it was pretty short, 40 minutes of the alotted hour - seemed like most interviews went like that. nothing out of the blue, straight forward questions. i think they ask everyone the same q's since they just write answers on a template.
Show more
yup, even i got the feeling that they use a template....coz there were times during my interview when i wanted to say more, but my interviewer just wanted to move on and said tht there is little time and I should be brief with my answers...i got the feeling that they had to ask you all these questions in the stipulated time and get it over with...

Has anyone received an email to apply for a certain scholarship? I just received an email and wrote back saying I intend to apply by the deadline. I got an instant reply from the scholarship director saying she looks forward to receiving the scholarship application...

Is this a good sign or am I reading too much into it....

I also got it... and from the string of recent dings on my end, I want to be optimistic but am trying not to read too much into it...

I received that email as well about the CASE scholarship. The odd thing is that I don't think I'm even eligible for it, so either I inadvertently clicked a box somewhere during the application process or they didn't do much screening before sending out that email.

Interesting story on NPR this morning about IT recruiting. Not sure I buy it, but they said the market for tech is as hot as it's been since the late 1990s. What wasn't clear from the story was whether that was true for more than just Devs.

This is for the MBA Games, to support North Carolina Special Olympics. They should have make it more clear. I can see how it can be weird taken out of context.

I have a question regarding Duke Fuqua recruitment as compared with say, that of a school like Chicago Booth. From what I have seen in the data available online, in terms of the number of jobs, types of jobs and companies, there is no significant difference between the two schools. From a purely job prospects perspective, does it matter where you do your MBA then? Also, are there any subtle differences that I am missing. I noticed earlier in this thread (I think) that top consulting firms place Duke graduates in difference offices than say those from Harvard or Columbia (they get their pick). To what extent is that true and is there anything else like this that an MBA aspirant should be aware of? Maybe current students can shed light on this.

From my understanding, a school like Duke will still place people in all the same top firms but will probably have lower placement numbers. Take Wharton for example, they placed 50 in to Mck and 30+ into BCG. I'm not sure Duke is placing at those kinds of numbers at those two firms. Also, schools such as Wharton, Chicago, Columbia will have way more hedge funds and private equity firms recruiting than Duke. If you goal is just banking at a any bulge bracket, consulting at any top firm or any corporate development type job there is probably little difference in placement. But if your goal is to break into only the elitist firms, hedge funds, private equity, etc. there is probably a substantial difference between the placements.

Another way to look at the placement is to take into consideration of the # of people going into the firms that you're aiming for with regard to the entire class population. Without any hard data in front of me, I'm going to assume that Wharton places roughly 100 people into M/B/B, and its class population is 800. That's about 12.5% of Wharton consulting folks going into M/B/B (and M/B/B only). That's huge!! If you take a look at Duke, my very raw guess for the # of people going to M/B/B is probably 25, out of a class of 440. That's about 5.6% of Fuqua consulting folks make it into M/B/B. So yes, chances are you will have a higher chance of getting into the top consulting firms at Wharton, but in terms of opportunities you will be able to impress the employers at either school. I used consulting as an example, but you can easily translate that into ibanking, or whatever field you're interested in.
