@stormbringer: Thanks, I'll be joining Haas.
@noclue9454: Exactly. I never understood the term 'fit' before I visited Fuqua. Fortunately for me, I felt the same way at Berkeley.

Does anybody know what time tomorrow we should expect Duke's email with Round 2 decisions? Thanks!

Unfortunately, it really could come at any time. If I were you I would expect to hear something between noon and 5:00 p.m. EST.

I looked in my inbox and it looks like I received an email from Fuqua at 2:37 p.m. on 1/31 for R1. I hope that helps.

A blast email will be sent out at exactly the same time so everyone finds out at the same time, be it 12:01, 2:37, or 4:59. Good luck to all. At least it's on a Friday!

A great way to start your weekend by drinking yourself to either happy oblivion or sad drunkenness. :P

Hope they're eliminated ASAP. Even an admit with a full ride will not provide enough kool-aid on this front.

Now, that is the way to let people know decisions. Yeah, I'm talking to you, adcoms. Treating everyone equally and letting them now how and when they will hear is way better than making people refresh pages and stare at their phones for weeks on end.

Personally, I think calling admitted applicants is a nice touch...but only if I'm one of those receiving a call.

Heard through my alumni interviewer that Fuqua will be releasing its WL results for the 1st round on Friday- decision not. day for round 2. Maybe a current student or someone would like to confirm that/comment on that but just wanted to share this piece here for the WLed gmatclubbers.


Thanks for sharing this mnes. I consulted the admission's office and was told there's no set date and you can get a decision has late as the first day of class! I wonder if that actually happens though! During my visit to Duke, I was also told that most WL candidates are considered during Round 3 and the summer months since Round 2 is already quite competitive.

Good Luck to all WL and R2 candidates, for this Friday!

This definitely happens...I feel like I remember a story of someone finding out the night before school started & driving all night to get there. I know someone that was admitted a couple of days before school started and that person matriculated.

Would such late intimation be problematic for international students since they have visa issues to deal with before matriculation....

Well, looks like Duke is out of the tournament. I really hope the adcoms don't come to work tomorrow morning hung-over, pissed off, and ready to start dinging people to make themselves feel better, haha.

i agree...if you're getting a call, then its a nice touch...but very intimidating for someone who does not get the call....the uncertainity is really bad...
