To do something with all this nervous energy, I scoured the Fuqua thread from last year for the release times on admit decisions. In 2011, R1 Notification was scheduled for January 31. The web page updated with decisions just after 2:30 EST on January 31. For interview invites this year, those were scheduled to be released on December 16. The web page was updated with invite info just after 1:50 EST.

So, history says R1 notification this year will be sometime after 1 PM EST on February 1. I'm going to try to keep my cool all that morning and stay off this message board until 1:00. That's my goal at least... :)

Good luck to all R1 hopefuls for next week.

For people admitted from India, don't forget to join your fellow admits from EA rounds at this Google group:

https://groups.google.com/group/dukemba2014-india

There's lots being discussed and planned there including our very own India BDW in June...

Cheers!

Who all are interested in Fuqua HSM?

Is admission rate of Fuqua's HSM is different from Fuqua's admission rate??

Also I know that GMAT score ranges from 640 to 750 ( 80%) but I haven't found any Indian and Chinsese admit to Fuqua with less than 720.
Is the "so called" GMAT requirement for Indians are different from others?
Why I am asking this--- see my profile :oops:

The GMAT score is only one part of your profile. I don't think it is that critical , or at least the business school admissions websites say so.
In general though a 'lower' GMAT score should be compensated by other 'successes', otherwise you are just subtly telling the admissions committee you cannot make the grade academically.The GMAT score is more important when "all things are equal", but then that would mean all Indians and Chinese profiles are similar, which is not the case at all.

I don't think that Indians require a higher GMAT score, although some admissions consultants will lead you to believe that (I was told a 720 was too low). I have a few Indian friends who did not apply to any of the top 10 schools because their GMAT scores were less than 700. Even though looking at their career progression, they could have spun some exciting essays. Overall it is the application on a whole that matters.

When I went for my Kellogg interview, (w Yhana), I asked her about this. She told me that is not the case at all.
SooJin's (Ross director) interview also alludes to scores not being the highest criteria. https://poetsandquants.com/2011/12/15/th ... -business/
as for Duke, my only information comes from the second year student who interviewed me, that GMAT scores are not as critical as they make it out to be on forums.

Bottom line, I think a decent GMAT score will get you into any school as long as you put effort into your essays etc.

Just to back desi up here, BusinessWeek recently released GMAT distribution information on both applicant pools and incoming classes. Here is Fuqua's information:

GMAT score distribution (applicant pool):
10th Percentile 620
25th Percentile 660
50th Percentile (median) 700
75th Percentile 720
90th Percentile 740
Average GMAT Score 688

GMAT score distribution (incoming class):
10th Percentile 630
25th Percentile 660
50th Percentile (median) 700
75th Percentile 720
90th Percentile 740
Average GMAT Score 698

I think we can reasonably infer that Fuqua is not a GMAT hunter because the distributions are largely mirrors of each other. Other schools, such as Yale and Olin, have much stronger GMAT pull in the comparison. Whether this is true for the international, or more specifically Indian, pool at Fuqua I couldn't say for sure, but this seems to be a good signal for the school that it looks at people more than numbers.

I applied HSM too, and I don't believe there is a bottom line for the GMAT score. As long as you are in the 80%, you have a chance. As long as your score is around the median, your GMAT won't be a concern.

Yeah, you can tell that Duke wants people who really want to be at Duke based on their essay questions and application fee reduction for a visit. Definitely shows when you are interacting with the student body as well.

Thanks guys for sharing your insight on this.
Still kind of new ( but old-31) to this game. So far rejection from Tuck (EA) and Stern.

keeping positive hope for Fuqua HSM.
