ThomasD, if it's not against the gmatclub.com rules, can you please add a link below "Class of 2013" on the Rollcall to a facebook group I created for Duke MBA '13? 9 of 11 EA admits are already in it! Thx!
https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=gro ... 7753020741

@hwasahada, I haven't received my admission packet yet in the mail either.
Good initiative, as a FYI, Duke will have an official incoming class facebook group starting after R1 admission date. There'll be a lot of activity on that one regarding BDW and housing/roommate search. Also, it takes a couple of weeks before you'll receive your admission packet.

Roll Call Updated and as I am no aware off any rules not permitting us to link to facebook, I also included the facbook link on the frontpage. As asimov pointed out there will be an official facebook page at some later point, I just added a little disclaimer to it.

I haven't received my admission packet in the mail. hmmmm. Did anyone receive it?

Since I'm international, they sent my a Fedex tracking number... Its status is "On FedEx vehicle for delivery", so it should arrive today... I guess you guys should receive yours very soon.

Digging a little here but I am curious how the academics really are at Duke? Any current students wish to comment?

I am looking at the interactive class schedule and it seems a lot more limited then what I would have thought based off the front page which boasts 100+ electives. For instance looking at both Spring terms combined I only see 4 different marketing classes offered. Is the idea that these classes cover so much material it is not necessary to have lots of choices? Just trying to understand.

Having just registered, I can tell you that there are more classes that I want to take than I'll probably have time for. I think there are a couple of things that you need to consider:
1) If you are going into marketing, you will not just be taking marketing classes. For example, even for marketing, there are other accounting and finance electives that you probably should take. This is on top of classes like negotiations and many of the management courses that are must takes as well.
2) The great majority of what you learn will be learned on the job, the classes are just to give you the fundamentals so that you can talk the same language, so to speak.

I had the impression that the last day for receiving interview invite for R1 is 17th Dec. So applicants should have started receiving the interview invites by now.
So what I understand now from the above post is that Duke will send all the interview invites to all the applicants on 17th Dec only. Is that correct?

Yes you are right. Expect an invite on 17th (my interview invite came on 25th Oct as expected). The interview status was changed in the online app portal a few hours before I got an email.

Hi there! I received my application packet this past Thursday. The letter inside the folder said that if I was awarded a merit scholarship, then there would be a separate letter in the folder telling me so. That being said, there was no other letter in the folder except the letter that said they would later be running a background check on me at my expense for $93 (and that everyone is getting such a check).

I got a phone call on Tuesday from an adcom letting me know that I received a scholarship. There was no letter in my admissions packet, but I received a follow up mailing yesterday providing details.
