As I don't have access to personal email ids at office,

Same for me. And so for the time period of application decision, I recently did an auto forward of all my gmail emails to my office Id. The network support lead of my company doesn't mind my doing this for a couple of weeks as long as I don't get 1000 emails per day. :)

Just did my phone interview this morning with an AdCom. Only Q i got that I didn't see here was 'when you are near the end of your life, how will you want to look back on it?' my answer was pretty vague 'just want to have interesting experiences, if you head into life with a specific plan you are likely to be disappointed' but considering what ive read about duke's interview my main objective was to not rock the boat too much.

only 4 more days.....

Furthermore I just got an email from the sender 'The Duke MBA Office of Admissions'. Considering the Sloan bloodbath yesterday, I popped a few blood vessels thinking it'd be my 2nd advance-notice ding in as many days. But it was just a message about the Round 2 application deadline.

Friday can't come soon enough.

I'm ready to find out! I hate waiting. :)

Does anyone know if the email itself says you've been admitted or dinged or does it send you to a link to view your status?

Just got an email from Duke.

I'm successfully rejected! :lol:

Oh well, going back to polish my essay and GMAT for another round. I hope others are doing better.

Here's what they say:

Quote:
The admissions committee at The Fuqua School of Business has met to review your application for admission to The Duke MBA Class of 2011. We received a record number of applications of exceptionally high quality for the class entering in the fall of 2009. As a result, the quality of the applicant pool this year required the committee to make some very difficult decisions. Regretfully, after a careful review of your application, we are unable to offer you a place in the entering class.

A great deal of time and care is taken in reviewing all applicants for admission. Each application is read by at least two members of the admissions committee and is then presented to the full admissions committee for a final decision. The decision is made based upon a comparison of your application to all other applications received this year, and to our historical knowledge of our applicant pool.

I thank you for your interest in The Duke MBA. You have my best wishes for future success in your pursuit of a graduate management program.

Didn't expect a decision today! I am going to call and confirm that this is the real deal (after that Kellogg issue, double checking won't hurt!)

Awesome!

Cornell will serve you far better for what you want to do. It's just insulting after all of the travel expenses that you logged.

Congrats to everyone that just got accepted.
