Please respond fully and concisely using 1.5 line spacing. Your response to each question should be no more than 2 pages in length, with a font size not smaller than 10-point. Candidates who applied to The Duke MBA between September 2008 and April 2009 are considered re-applicants.

All applicants have the opportunity to submit an optional essay to explain any extenuating circumstances of which the Admissions Committee should be aware. Applicant Essays : Answer all 3 essay questions. Today, companies must navigate through complex and interdependent issues. They must deal with health and security matters, environmental impact questions, and diversity and cultural concerns. Leaders need adaptability, imagination, emotional intelligence, as well as business acumen. Thus, Duke is in the midst of an ambitious global venture that will embed and connect us around the world, and we are seeking future leaders of consequence, those who value diversity and collaborative leadership, and who aspire to impact the companies and communities of which they are a part in a lasting and positive way. In an effort to identify, engage, and foster the development of future leaders of consequence, the Admissions Committee would like to get to know our applicants in a more holistic manner. We would like to know who you are, what has shaped you into the person you are today, and how you hope to impact both Duke and the communities of which you will be a part in the future. The essays are your opportunity to convey that to us. Please be open, genuine, and passionate. Share with us what makes you a dynamic, multi-dimensional person. 1. Describe your vision for your career, your inspiration for pursuing this career path, and the role of The Duke MBA in achieving your goals. If you are interested in a specific concentration or joint degree program, please discuss in this essay. 2. Discuss a person, event, or experience that has significantly shaped your life and explain why. 3. Individuals choose a business school for many different reasons. Through your research, what attributes or characteristics of The Duke MBA program have most resonated with you and why? How do you plan to contribute to the strengthening and enhancement of those attributes and characteristics during your time at Duke and beyond? Optional Essay (not required) If you feel there are extenuating circumstances of which the Admissions Committee should be aware, please explain them here (e.g., unexplained gaps in work, choice of recommenders, inconsistent or questionable academic performance, significant weakness in your application). 2010 Deadlines Early Action Deadline: October 6, 2009 Notification: November 24, 2009 Round 1 Deadline: November 12, 2009 Notification: January 19, 2010 Round 2 Deadline: January 7, 2010 Notification: March 8, 2010 Round 3 Deadline: March 9, 2010 Notification: April 22, 2010 GMATclub threads Application Information (essays, dates, etc...) https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/programs/duke_mba/daytime/apply_daytime/ 2009 Applicants Thread https://gmatclub.com/forum/calling-all-duke-fuqua-fall-2009-applicants-66970.html Class of 2010 Profile: https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/programs/duke_mba/daytime/ Employment Reports: 2009: https://www.fuquaworld.duke.edu/cmcfiles/DukeMBAFinalEmploymentStats08-09_06-03-09.pdf 2008: https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/documents/mba_recruiting/Duke_MBA_preliminary_employ1.pdf

billyjeans - yay!! Maybe we can be study partners. You will have to write a post on how to write a fantasmic letter to get off the wait list. Congrats to everyone that got in - and have faith for those on the waitlist.

3/26. There is more information in the Duke Admitted thread on the B-school life thread (including a link).

hey guys thanks so much! you guys are like my second family So tired today. But very relieved I finally got in somewhere. I am still waiting to hear back from Ross, but I am 95% sure I am committed to Duke! I followed mba gameplan and richard montauk's book on how to pursuit waitlist. I visited school and send in an w/l letter (at the recommended time, maybe that's the magic). Gl to all that's still on the waitlist, and I hope to meet everybody in the near future!

Waitlisted as well Congratulations to all those who got accepted. How many are certain to matriculate at Duke?

Thx Johnny, GL with your waitlist, I will be rooting for you.

Cheers. Loving the new avatar, by the way....

Am a R1 WL. I continue to be on the waitlist after the R2 notification. ( guess its better than a ding), your life rolls on with the slightest of hope. Besides, I see there is a high number of WL candidates for Duke in specific. Any reasons. or else they are planning to slaughter all of us in one go a little later.
