For those who are interested in consulting:
The preliminary report just released, out of those who reported so far:

31 Interns at M/B/B
30 Full-time at M/B/B

I know a few others who are going to M/B/B, but didn't report it yet (and not included in those numbers).

Asimov, thanks for the numbers. Is this report publicly available yet? If not, how do the investment banking numbers look this year?

I am a r3 applicant. Given that the decision day is this coming Monday, does anyone know if calls will be made prior for those who are accepted?

No calls. You just log in and check status.

Duke typically lets everyone know at the same time. So it will be Monday for everyone, accept or deny.

Duke doesn't call admitted applicants. Instead, you'll receive an email with a link telling you to check your status online. You'll be able to access a letter telling you whether you've been admitted or dinged.

I guess it's possible you could receive an email early, but I wouldn't count on it. The big day, if I'm not mistaken, is May 9th. Good luck.

Oh and fwiw, I don't think there's anyway to tell when that email will be sent on the decision day. That said, I think you can safely assume you'll receive the email before 5 p.m. EST.

This is all exactly right. The only additional piece is that if you've been W/L'ed and are left on the W/L, you will not receive an email at all. The list should be pretty short by then and you'll be assigned an adcom in May to help walk you through the rest of the process since there are no more general decision release dates (it's all specific to the individual).

Hi Jevon,

Could you please elaborate about adcom walking the waitlisted applicants through the rest the of the process ? Does that mean rejection or admission ? The accepted folks are not assigned adcom I supppse , then why for the waitlisted students ? Please share your thoughts.

I'm bias, because I've always had a great experience with Duke. However, I think the underlying point is that the accepted people just have a decision to make (yes or no). Those who remain on the waitlist have to weigh the opportunity of a Duke W/L with the offers they've received. I don't think they're told how to play their hand but someone will aid them in determining how to proceed with the process throughout the summer. In truth, I can't exactly say how they'd assist you, but you won't be all alone waiting for an email or phone call all summer.

Rejections and acceptances are permanent. If you're in--fantastic, if not, you'll have to wait until the next cycle if you'd like to reapply. I think Duke attempts to assist with the confusion of waitlist land by at least giving you a touchstone. It'll help you plan the end game of the cycle at the very least.

My experience is that the school is very student conscious. They may not give the decision you want but they're certainly around to guide you through a difficult process if you find yourself in the great "in-between".

Note: I am not a Duke adcom member, this is just my "general" Duke experience.

Good Luck

Does receipt of your financial aid award = admission? I'm a R3 applicant and decisions are due Monday, but received Fuqua fin aid details last night.

Duke is my top choice, so trying not to jump the gun with excitement.

Thanks,

That's awesome news bcanada11! Congratulations. One would think that getting financial aid also means an admit.

Fuqua has received my deposits and transcripts. but I've not seen anything come from Financial Aid or any information on the Kroll background check. What makes it frustrating is I've spoken to Financial Aid and Admissions who keep telling me it "should be going out today" or you'll receive it "by the end of the week." Has anyone else seen anything come through?
Show more

I got my Kroll background check email last Monday evening and I started my process on Wednesday and Kroll got back to me saying they have everything in 2 hrs.

So, you might want to ask admissions abt whats happening. I submitted my deposit around March 20th and am R1 admit.

I got the Kroll email on Monday...need to initiate the process within three weeks. Also, need to inform employer that Kroll would be contacting them. But I didn't want my employer to know abt my MBA plans yet. I sent an email seeking clarification on whether the verification process is "anonymous"...no response yet. Any info on this?

It was an e-mail outlining my package details. I'm hoping the "We wish you an enjoyable and productive school year!" closer was not some type of brutal tease.

Has anyone else received something along these lines? It seems like an odd way to "leak" announcements (a la CFA a few years ago that had a loophole to find out exam results).

Yes I did get it 2 weeks ago. It outlined all the loan options but I didn't look into it yet
