Interviewed in SF today. A group of about 10 alums and an Adcom came out for the process. Got there a little early and chitchatted with a few alums (even met and conversed with alum before the actual interview).
Interview was 45 min. Typical questions. My interviewer seemed genuinely interested in both getting to know me and expressing what Fuqua had to offer.
The Team Fuqua concept was on display for the entire event. All of the alums got along so well. It was like witnessing a mini reunion. The support and passion for Fuqua was almost infectious.

I am trying to focus on my R2 apps, unsuccessfully. I am definitely spending lot of time reading last year's thread. Not recommended.


I'm in the same boat...I saw an earlier post where you interviewed on Monday. I was there too- I think I was "the Army guy" you referenced. I didn't actually interview until Tuesday, but I enjoyed my visit/interview. Best of luck.

I had my interview on the 8th. My interviewer was very friendly. I was asked the usual questions. I got the feeling that he wanted to know me and why I was interested in the program. Everybody I met at Fuqua was very warm and friendly, the reason why Fuqua is my first choice .

How does traveling to Durham for interviews and events play a role in the decision process? Some have traveled from west coast, India, Europe, etc. Does it show intent or maybe give a little advantage? Your thoughts please!


Absolutely. Duke is one of those schools that wants you to show the love -- if you can make it to Durham, you should definitely try. I have a friend from the Northeast who applied a few years ago and was invited to interview in Durham, but settled for a skype interview. He got waitlisted and when he got feedback they said that he should have come down in person.

If you are across the continent or half-way around the world, then it's understandable if you can't make the trip. But if you do move heaven and earth to get to Durham, will be a big pull for you.

They call everyone. I was little concerned that I might not be reachable through mobile given that I am someone who leaves it on silent mode for hours (I don't even know why I am doing that) so I chose email as a preferred way of communication. Regardless of what applicants chose, they decided to call everyone personally.

They will still reach for you if you were unreachable on phone. They wouldn't pull back the offer because you didn't answer the phone. Anyway, be little more careful of your phone battery life I guess :-D

It does show committment and give advantage. But even more importantly, you need to interact and say something nice and memorable. It surely is a lot more advantageous if you can manage to make adcoms remember you when they read your application.

Congrats man! You have impressive admits!


Thanks. Not making the decision easier - wish I could swap some of the scholarship amounts ;)

Good luck to everyone waiting!
