Any Early Action admits get a confirmation for their Re Vera check? Initiated mine going on 3 months ago and haven't heard from anyone. I think they gave a 2-4 week estimate for this when it started.

I also haven't seen anything since I initiated. Weird but not concerned

I got the email from the team captain for exception requests yesterday. In it he presented me with my interviewer and asked us to to decide upon a convenient interview date before March 1st.

Good luck guys!

Applied R2 but was not offered an interview. They did say that it doesn't mean I have been denied, but I'm pretty sure that is the case. Ahh well

Behavioural questions where I was meant to reference the work experiences he wanted, based on my resume. Some Fuqua questions and goals but very little in comparison. And then engaging with him in the end may have taken 30 mins.
Fun fact: I wear waterproof mascara that NEVER budges but yesterday, post interview, I went to the bathroom and I looked like a raccoon. I didn’t even know my eyelashes could sweat but that’s how badly I wanted this to go well I guess

Guy, can anyone shed any light on a Fuqua endorsement (not an LoR from the Fuqua community) that can be given anonymously, helps you get a fee waiver and is considered for application review? Has anyone had someone unexpectedly endorse them and just received an email subject line "You have a fan"? Any clue how this affects your application if you are at the interview stage? Can this by any chance be your interviewer?

Hi

Any interview invitee from India who could possibly share their interview experience?? Would be a huge help! Thanks.

Also is there by any chance a https://gmatclub.com/chat/Whatsapp group of applicants that we can all coordinate on? Or maybe create one?

Yes just one latest experience. Rest are pretty dated - have gone through all of them regardless. Was wondering if there are others who just interviewed.

How did your interview go? I am guessing you applied in R2? Also, do you mind sharing your profile? Thanks

Does anyone know if Fuqua admits students prior to the announced decision date or if everyone will hear back on 3/18?

Fuqua calls admitted applicants a day before the decision day. So, I guess all the admits are going to hear on March 17th. Waitlists and dings will be communicated on March 18th.

I had this same question as well. 3/17 is a Sunday this year - do you think Fuqua will still be calling applicants on a Sunday?

I wasn't aware that 3/17 is a Sunday

I guess they will probably call admitted applicants either on Friday 3/15 or Monday 3/18. FYI, the waitlists and dings will be communicated only through a portal update on 18th.

I just checked my online portal and saw that I had something in there about the Executive and Weekend preview weekemd on May 3-4. Seemed like a glitch (i'm a daytime applicant), but curious if folks think that means something different?
