Posted from my mobile device

Just got a response from the adcom. She mentioned there isn't a specific time but just that you will.be notified by end of day.

Reiterated that not recieving an email doesn't mean a ding or waitlist. It could also be a case where after the interviews, you could still receive an interview invite.

Sooooo, I know that I may grasping at anything looking for a sign but if I've already interviewed during the open interview period and my application was already deemed as a "deny", then they wouldn't have sent the following email, right?

"Thank you for submitting an application to the Daytime MBA program at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business.

Our system indicates that you have already scheduled or completed your Admissions interview. If our records are incorrect, please let us know by emailing our team at application-processing@fuqua.duke.edu. You will receive your final Admissions decision on December 13, 2018."


I am trying to manage my expectations and am hoping that they would instead just send me a thank you for trying email if I am going to get denied. I am not going to survive the rest of this wait....

I wouldn't read into it. They are not at the point in the process where they are doing final reviews. As explained to me by an admissions officer, the process is such:
1. One person reviews the application - decides to interview.
2. If a deny, a second person reviews the application and decides if they agree with the first person's decision.
3. Interviews are conducted.
4. The second person reads your file with your interview transcript and comes up with a recommendation.
5. They present the recommendation to the Admissions panel who decides the final fate.

If you have already interviewed during early action, both readers read your interview report. You are already at Step 4, but your application has likely have not gone to the committee yet.

I got that same email during Early Action. Although I got accepted, it's anyone's game at this point and you'll find out in December. I hope this was helpful!

Is this is a denial or a waitlist?

lolpopo do you mind sharing your stats?

Invited to interview!

FROM - India
TOEFL - 115
GMAT - 710
WE - 24 MONTHS (ON AUGUST 2018) I'm still working so it is more now. This is in an Fortune 500 company. I'm a Software Developer.
Profile - I have a lot of volunteering experience and management type of experience. In college and in my company (where I lead an organization of around 2000 people apart from my job. This is more of a side thing where we organize events etc.)

I was kind of counting on DUKE. I believe my Work Ex is too low. Is there any other reason I probably got a reject? I shall apply again next year and want to be prepared.

Any suggestions will help me a lot. Thank you.

Invited to interview ! Phewwww !

Any interview tips ?

Hi! This was my profile last year, and I got dinged from everywhere I applied. I got feedback from the adcom that as an Indian my GMAT was on the lower side and that I had low work ex (they were looking for people who had at least one promotion/led a team/something similar)
I took the GMAT again, and I reapplied this year with better success.
Don't lose hope! Good luck for next year!

I got the exact same email from Fuqua. I am guessing it is the standard response sent to everyone not invited to the interview. So, perhaps it may not be a waitlist.

Do they ever reach to anyone for an interview after sending them this email?

lolpopo1, bachmanity91 This is neither a denial, nor a waitlist. You should read the email as-is.

All they are saying is that they aren't going to interview you just yet. They might send out an interview invite later on in this round.
If they don't, then you'll get an email on R1 decision date. You'll either get waitlisted or denied.

I got the same email on interview notification day in the Early Action (EA) round. While I was not interviewed in EA, I eventually got waitlisted. Now, I got the interview invite along with other R1 folks.

My suggestion is that you move on to R2 applications/interview prep for other schools.

Congratulations to everyone invited for interview.

The Duke application instructions web page states that for non-hub locations, the interview date range for round 1 is December 1-2, 2018. Does this mean that we will only be able to set up interviews on these two days?
