I think it's something like 60%, but I'm not sure whether that includes self-initiated interviews. I wonder how much weight Fuqua places on the interview because they're conducted en mass just two weeks or so before final decisions are released.

I think it's really a pass or fail. You either fit or you don't. Bet they weed out almost half that way. Much like tuck, you can't fake personality.

Hey Guys, Congrats on your interviews, and good luck to everyone on your apps. I am prepping my application to Duke Round 2 and would really like to touch base with current students or anyone who has visited the school. I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks,

Kt780 - good to commiserate here. I used a conversational style in my essays for the other schools that I applied to in round one, after reading plenty of turgid and robotic essays that successful applicants had written, thinking that my strategy to differentiate myself somewhat might pay off, and so far it appears to be excepting duke. Good luck with your other applications!

self-initiated interviews allow prospectives to get an interview no matter what. The self-initiated interview happens in the very beginning of round 1 (usually). This is different from invited interview because invited interviews mean that adcoms have already reviewed your files and wish to speak with you on a more personal level. The self-initiated interview grants you that interview w/out having your files to be read yet.
