This is usually how it goes. You come in to Breeden Hall (on Science Dr), walk up to the Admissions Lounge area. There should be a student host there to greet you, take your resume, and sign you in. There will be a lounge host (student) there to chat with you about Fuqua. You can sign up for a tour before or after your interview. I did it beforehand and found it useful to talk about some of the things I found out during my interview and to psyche myself up for the interview (Fuqua has one of the nicest building out of the elite schools). At noon-ish there's a student panel/lunch for the perspectives. Students talk about their experiences at Fuqua and you get to ask some questions.

I would recommend coming in on Friday night, unless you are driving in. Just to make sure you are not late to the interview. An added bonus, every Friday from 5:30-7:30 there's Fuqua Friday at the school's cafeteria. You are welcome to show up for some free food and drinks, and to talk with current students. It's a great way to be immersed in the Team Fuqua culture. Last year, the interviews were on Halloween, so we could party it up with the current students. I think this year, the interview date may be different.

Asimov, thanks for the tips!

I'm very excited about visiting Duke, but as I'm going from Brazil, I have to visit some other schools in order to maximize my trip experience.

On Fuqua's website, the interviews are scheduled for sunday, so I programed myself to get there on saturday and thought I'll have enough time to do everything.

However, the Fuqua Friday seemed very interesting. I'll think about change my plans a little bit. On saturday night I already bought a ticket to see a Carolina Hurricanes game. If anyone wanted to join me, it'll be a pleasure!

Hey all,
I was just wondering if anyone knows the process. I received the scheduling mail, sent a mail to the person mentioned in the email, but they haven't mentioned any dates ( or confirm 6-7th Nov) or provided any other information.

I'm referring to the off campus invites.

Any inputs, anybody?

I sent a request for an interview with an alumni ambassador too, but still not clear on how things will proceed. My guess is they are taking time to charting out the interview time slots etc.

Hi All,

It would be great if someone could answer my questions.

At Fuqua, how is the placement in tech companies for roles such as Product Manager and what are the major tech recruiters. From the website, I got to know that placement in tech sector is approx 10% but could not find the break-up.

I am wondering why the placements in marketing is only 25% for a program which is very well known for marketing. On the other hand, consulting and finance placements (both industry and function wise) constitute nearly 60% (30% each) of the placements. In other words, what factors or qualities of Fuqua attract more consutling and finance recruiters than marketing recruiters?

Thanks.

I've seen the statistics as well. It's hard to pin down, from what I can tell. I could make some guesses or assumptions, such as a strong alumni presence in consulting & finance, more jobs in sectors other than marketing, as well as the higher median starting salaries in consulting & finance steering certain decisions. I'm sure others could weigh in with better information. I'd be interested in the results myself.

That's a very good question. Just wondering which year's report are you looking at? I glance around the 3 reports on the front page of this thread, it seems that marketing (by function) and other major professional function areas shift from year to year. But remember that Fuqua isn't only known for it's marketing program. It has pretty well-rounded program.

For the tech sector (not including biotech), Fuqua is not as strong in, partly due to the location of being on the east coast. The CMC is trying to improve upon that by assigning a counselor to focus on recruitment in that sector. With that said, there are quite bit of opportunities to work with start ups (or start your own company) at the triangle area.

Does anyone know when R1 interviews will take place if you are invited? On the application it asks if invited would you interview on campus...I definately want to, but obviously timing is a factor whether or not I can get there.

Also count me in for R1

Add me to the 2012 pool of applicants, but I still need to build out my profile on this forum and take the GMAT. I've been to a few info sessions and 1 of them was Duke.
