Calling all Duke Fuqua Admits: 2020 Intake (Class Of 2022)

Question

Congrats guys and welcome in Duke admits thread. We can use this thread to know more about further steps and know each other.

Hey guys, has anyone received next steps yet after paying deposit? (i.e. International student visa, background check etc.)

paulchung · Answer

Not really except I paid for the re vera services a couple days after my first deposit.
It has been about a week since I paid for the verification check but it seems like they haven't started the process yet according to the portal.

For visa, I contacted school about it and they said they will send out an email in Feb along with instructions.

Hey guys - posting here since I also posted in the application thread, really excited to join everyone next year. The admitted student webinar (today at 2PM EST) is being recorded and is getting sent out after, so that should answer some of the next steps questions. When you guys start looking at housing and relocation, let me know if I can help. I've lived in Durham for years & can give some recommendations.

They were just asked did you write the LOR? That's it

Hi Admits, We are looking to do a short post-decision interview or talk on the application process in general, how it helped you grow as a person, any takeaways and advice for future applicants, and things you could have done better; something similar to this. Anyone would like to volunteer for this? If interested, Pls PM me.

PS:
1) It's your choice whether to do video or just audio interview.
2) You can choose to do interview under your real name or forum username; choice is yours.

They started mine as well but on the portal it still says not initiated. 
I'm curious to know whether yours changed on the portal?

erlandgas · Answer

It still shows a red x on duke portal page. They just probably haven't gotten around to it.

chanjaso · Answer

I got an email from Re Vera saying mine should be complete but needs to wait for duke to sign off still, so I’m still seeing the Red Cross too.

Side note - has anyone gotten their admit packages in the mail yet?

Hello, How long after you initiate the process did you receive the email? Do you know what sort of verification they did with the employer? thanks

Thanks. quick follow up - just to clarify, ReVera didn't mention that the applicant has been admitted to XYZ school?

Do you know what verification they did with the employer? thanks

erlandgas · Answer

I had to provide paystubs because they said they couldn't find the employer. After I did that, my boss said he was still contacted but couldn't answer, so he left a voicemail just letting them know all necessary info.

Damion123 · Answer

Hi all admitted students. Congratulations as well.

Few days back my one of the Recos was mailed for verification. However when I checked with another one he has not received such mail. Is this the case with someone here???

Do they contact both Recos all the time or they would be satisfied with one verification????

Thanks in advance.

chanjaso · Answer

Anyone still waiting on the admit packages? Apparently it’s supposed to come in mail any day now

Damion123 · Answer

I am waiting.

chanjaso · Answer

Only one of mine was contacted as well, so I think they just choose one at random? Re Vera says that mine has been complete (I think) waiting on Fuqua's final sign off but this was almost a week and a half ago, so don't have too much information either.

chanjaso · Answer

Does anyone know if it's possible to renegotiate scholarships if we didn't receive one in the admitted round? Is there a formal process for this?

RicAssassin · Answer

It’s always an option. But you need to talk with adcom only. In case you have competing offers, becomes a little easier. No harm trying.
