For anyone who did not receive an invite but says the decision is not final and may be invited on another day, is this considered being waitlisted? Did they also send out any denials?

I would assume it’s fairly close to a 50/50

I got the email from them but I already interviewed with them during open interview season. I don't know whether to treat this as as good sign? However the email says that I would get my final decision by October 28, which I assume is a typo, because I applied to Round 2.

Wow. That is nutty! I am sorry. This is a new achievement. I think your application is definitely moving along so I hope this is good.

Looking at the early trends I think this was based a lot on the GMAT score.

Guys ,

I have got the email that I might be invited in future , so I am not really sure .

This is second blow after I applied to Darden

Is anyone up for discussing their approach to essays or figuring out where I went wrong ?

Duke looks a lot at fit and knowing what the Fuqua culture is. In general its better if you talk a lot about teamwork in the essay.

I don't mind having a look at your essay if you can DM it to me. I shall write my 2 cent feedback.

Ideally it is also preferable to have a work ex of 4-6yrs.

Allright , I have 2.5 years of work ex currently which includes 1 year of family business. Moreover , I already have a PGD in advertising and marketing communications.

So while matriculating , I would have around 3.5 years work ex.

GMAT is 710.

I don't know where it went wrong so I am kind of on edge right now

I think it depends on articulating your goals well, having goals that are consistent with your background and attainable and knowing what competencies you need to gain and how Fuqua or any school will help you.

Did you have folks who have been through the process review your essays? Did you attend networking events to talk to these schools?

Unfortunately , I don't know any person who has been through the process.

I did chat with an admissions ambassador after connecting with them through website and he did give me an idea of how the school is ..

Personally, I think it’s very important to have your essays reviewed to know if it sounds genuine and true.

Can review them if you want to DM them to me.
