I got in!!! All I can say is that it has been quite a journey! I applied to Fuqua EA last year, and got rejected (not even waitlisted). This year I tried again, and really focused on my reapplication essay. I did not take the GMAT again like many friends recommended, because I felt that one score didnt define my whole application.

Here are my stats, which I didnt include this year.

GMAT: 670 (Verbal 36, 78%, Quant 45, 74%)
3.5 GPA from Top 20 undergrad
International work experience

Good luck to all, and if you didnt get in this year, but really like Fuqua, you should always think about reapplying.

Hey Diesel,

Congrats on the admit, and see you in Durham at BDW! Can you update your profile so that the data board remains as accurate as possible?

Congrats threestripes for admit!
I noticed that you were W/L last year. Were you able to change something drastically in your application this year that you think helped you? Just curious :)
You don't have to answer it now, you can open champagne first :P

I'm in!!! I'm so happy right now!!!

My hands are still shaking so I would probably just spill the champagne... so I'll be hanging out here in the meantime. :)

Well, I applied in R3 last year, which was application suicide. I think I was able to make a strong case for myself, which is why they put me on the waitlist.

I was lucky enough to get a raise after I submitted my application in March 2011. And then in October, I was promoted (and got a raise again).

On top of that, I ramped up my extracurricular activities. However, instead of volunteering just for the sake of volunteering, I absolutely made sure that these activities were relevant to my short and long-term goals.

I can give you some more details if you send me a PM. I don't want to end up hijacking the thread talking about my "accomplishments". :)

There is really no timeline. I would say you should get updates with the R1 and R2 decision dates. Also with the R3 date if you are still on the waitlist you will be asked to confirm your interest to remain on the summer waitlist.

Good Luck!

Congrats, 123man, deepakdewani, nov79, threestripes, and Diesel!
Welcome to the Class of 2014 at Fuqua!

Admissions / Blue Devil Weekend coordinators will be setting up a facebook page for you guys, which should be available later this month.

Be sure to 'like' "The Fuqua School of Business" on facebook.

I encourage one of you to make an unofficial Group on facebook for the Class of 2014 Daytime MBA students so you can find one another. I did this last year and was able to find 4 others who also lived in Washington, DC, and we went to a happy hour in January!

Also, you will be receiving a Fuqua Buddy, who should be reaching out to you by email or phone in the next couple of weeks. Let me or him/her know if you have any questions!

-Jonathan

As Etre3 said, those people who got dinged, don't lose your hopes yet. I am sure most of you have applied to other schools as well. Just give your best to those applications and I am sure you will reap the benefits of your effort. Good luck to you all.
