Calling All Duke (Fuqua) 2011 Applicants

Count me in for R1.

Do candidates who opt-in for the open interview stand a better chance at getting admitted than candidates who don't and wait for an interview call? Can someone shed some light here?

I've been so busy prepping to meet R1 deadlines of other schools that I've hardly got any time to prepare for the Fuqua interview or research the school.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. I've just checked my online application status, and it says "Completed". I am guessing that this means the adcom has received and confirmed all the application materials.

So, we are likely to hear from Fuqua about the interview invite on the same date. Few more weeks to go...waiting is never easy!

I just got the completion email as well!
Less than two weeks for interviews.

Just rushed into checking my application status, in a moment of application-frenzy. I knew that we won't be hearing anything from the adcom by 24th-25thish, but could not help it!

If anyone has any positive distracting facts in their pockets to help with this waiting, will greatly appreciate if you could share them with us!

I'm actually curious to know, if you don't get invited for the interview, does it change the status of your online application? I'd very much like to avoid the situation, where the status remains the same ("Completed" as of today for me), and I'm not receiving the interview invite. This will surely make me a fanatic checker of the "Spam" folder every 3 seconds, during inhumane hours (as I live +12 h time zone from Durham)!

Hi Everyone,

I had a quick question on the application under the employment section. There is a field for "Total number of months of management experience." Is this for direct reports only or can I include project management and indirect management experience here also.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would think that any managerial experience would apply: project management, financial (budgetary) management, supervisory, etc.

Calm down, lol. I can sense the frenzy in your post! I bet you have no problem conveying your feelings in your essays.

They will email you if you get the interview, if not you have to wait till dec 3 to see of you are WL'ed or Dinged.

If you've gotten an email from them before you will get one again.

Anyone knows the % of applicants that were invited for the interview in the last year?

they unfortunately do not release that statistic

Hello guys n gals,
Have anyone received interview invite for Fuqua EA?

I did not take the on campus interview.

Cheers,
D

if you wanted interview you shouldve done the open instead of waiting....

Happy to entertain others with my lunatic frenzy

Ohhh, now, this is what I was afraid of! So basically, if I am not lucky enough to get an interview invite, then, It's going to be a long wait until Dec 5th!

Thanks for the info in any case. Being in the know feels better than not knowing.

I'll apply for R1

Hey everyone,

We've been working on new ways to better assist everyone in their business school research and school selection. As part of that effort, we've created school guides for a handful of schools and we'd like your feedback. For now, think of these school guides as a beta. If there's anything that you'd like to see added to the guide, please let us know! If you find these guides to be helpful, we'll build similar guides for all of the other top schools.

I chose to wait to see if I earned it, I hope it doesnt come back to bite me, but I dont see anything wrong with ether choice. Liz Riley Hargrove said most admits are invited..obviously

I didn't have a choice; I live on the other side of the planet.
