I just withdrew from the waitlist. I really enjoyed my experience at Fuqua and am saddened that I won't be able to start a new chapter of my life at Fuqua.

I hope that my withdrawal from the waitlist improves chances for other waitlisted candidates, no matter how miniscule!

Good luck everybody!

Advice on interview prep: be ready to talk through your resume. One thing that was really stressed was teamwork. Be prepared to talk about challenges in teams, one regret that you have in your career, or something you'd change, and talk about your proudest career accomplishment.

Just remembering some questions during my interview!

Not familiar with full-time placement, but there are quite a few people going to international office both M/B/B and other consulting companies in Singapore, Bangkok, HK, London, Moscow offices. I don't know anyone going to the Shanghai office.

I only had one option. UCLA Anderson School of Management. I actually did not apply to any backup schools so I am quite excited to attend UCLA.

Good luck!

I just got an email from Fedex saying my letter was dispatched yesterday. Did anyone else get the same email? I thought Duke would have dispatched the letter around 25 March. Could this mean that I am a scholarship recipient and that they decided late?

I got mine yesterday. Don't think it means anything, all the schools I got into sent out the letters a few days after the decision is released.

I haven't received a thing either- package or a note from Fedex.

Are there any international admits out there who are able to attend the BDW? I hope that not attending the BDW does not affect my chances of getting some $$s :) (If I still have a chance...)
