For recommendation letters, Is recommender required filled online form or paper based form? Also for each questions in form space is limited. How you guys are approaching this.

All recommendations for any of the schools at least in the top 20 are online. Some schools have open ended questions that are more letter in style and some are short answers to specific questions. I would not worry about the space limit as your recommender should have plenty of space to fill everything out. One piece of advice I got last year that might be helpful is initially list yourself as a recommender. See what is being asked and then provide key points to the recommender for each set of questions. This way what they talk about will coincide with your story. Hope that helps

I think that makes sense.. its important that you have a word with your recommender on the things you'd want to be highlighted on your recos.. for that purpose, you should put yourself in the shoes of your recommender.

Get your applications in early to increase your chances of acceptance: https://www.usnews.com/education/best-gr ... plications

That's pretty good considering, all the other schools in the top 10 application volume list are in major cities. Probably the reason for Tuck's low application volume.

Just an FYI to everyone-- The interview/visit page is open on the Fuqua website. I just set up my interview and class visit for the end of september.

Is it a good idea to go for an open interview? Or should i just wait for the interview by invitation? I am worried that if I mess up the interview (considering it would be my first), it will ruin my chances.

I have heard that its best to go for the open interview. It lets you see the campus, visit a class, and understand what life would be like at Duke. I understand the worry about messing up the interview, I would say find ways to practice with those you know. See if you can get a friend (Ideally someone who interviews either for work or something) and have them do a mock interview with you. It should help with the nerves.

To give you guys a taste of life at Fuqua, maybe some ammunition for your essays, here’s a year in the life of Fuqua. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9WEORCteog
