Prepare your essays carefully. The Admissions Committee considers your responses to the following questions important in the selection process. 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 re-applicants are required to complete the Re-applicant Essay in addition to the Applicant Essays. 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

True to my R1 form, I haven't been invited by Duke as well.
I really thought I had a decent app and had sharpened the rough points of my earlier apps.
Evidently not... :cry:

Just out of curiosity, does any EA applicant here question whether it's fair game when it comes to scholarship decisions for the EA round versus the other rounds? I know that the school states that all applicants are equally considered for merit aid, but I have my doubts.

Oh yes, Congratulations to those receiving interviews!

Also invited.... Had my doubts when I first received the email, it sounded suspiciously like the close out emails I've had sent to job applicants.

I indicated Durham for the interview on my app, but it's hard to imagine getting there so soon and so close to the holidays. Strange procedure.

I applied to HBS, Wharton and Kellogg, besides Duke, in R1.
After the cold shoulder from H, W and D, and no response from K other than the usual interview waiver for Indian applicants, I am seriously doubting whether I should go ahead and spend more money on my R2 apps - Booth, Columbia and Ross. Maybe I should seriously consider the possibilty I am not good enough (though I can't understand why). I have simultaneous dual careers as a Risk Analyst and journalist, good acads, excellect ECs and social work, into martial arts and will get published next year.
Maybe I should reapply next year after I have my book on the stands and improve my profile in other aspects....The problem is, I am already 28 years old....

P.S. Till now, I have only got an interview from Simon.

I am exempt from TOEFL, having studied engineering at an institute where the only medium of instruction is English.
That leaves only one culprit - the essays.
Since I think I am not a bad writer (journalism, freelance writing, fiction writing and all that), I think the tone of the essays is suspect. Maybe I should think of hiring a consultant.

Hi Souryab,
There can be no other full-proof way but to ask the adcom about what you lack in your profile. I too find you profile impressive. But there can be many reasons justifiable / unjustifiable to us for which adcom didn't care to invite you for interview.

I cannot suggest whether you should right away send email to adcom asking for feedback, but I do feel that is the only way to get the proper answer.

- thanks

That is definitely an option.
Problem is, how many of these schools actually provide feedback (I don't think many):
1. Harvard
2. Wharton
3. Duke
4. Kellogg (haven't heard from them yet)

Also, what's the decent time to ask for feedback? Any ideas?

All the best for those who have been INVITED!
However, I am NOT INVITED and just curious to know how many international applicants have been INVITED?

my profile: 750, engineer, high-tech (non-IT), Indian, entreprenuership, excellent community and international experience. I hope its to do with my essays, which I know weren't really good!! Cant change my profile anyway

I just got the email to go sign up for interviews, but I get a blank screen that has nothing. Is the site down, or is there something wrong with my settings?

Not me... I decided on 10-11.

I didn't see any class visits available on Friday - which is a bit disappointing. I'll swing by the office when I get in and hope for the best though...
