Just out of curiosity, where did you guys put your “why MBA” in your application? Post-mba short answer? The longer essay? Or did you? Maybe it’s more implied from the application materials and will come out more explicitly in the interview? Thanks!

Hi! I am pretty sure that you will have a chance to elaborate on why MBA and why Fuqua in detail during your interview. Moreover, you can briefly mention your reasons to pursue the degree in the second essay.

Just submitted my application in EA. Since all the slots were booked, I couldn't schedule an interview. Does that mean I wont be interviewed during the Open interview Period?
Any recommended steps to get a slot?

Threads this year are surprisingly dead :(
Wonder if lesser folks are applying due to COVID?

I posted my Interview debrief so do check it out when prepping for your interviews!

https://gmatclub.com/forum/fuqua-193/in ... brief-1371

Going for the Early Application Round and was lucky enough to be able to book a place in the Open Interview Period. When I first checked booking was full but emailed the adcom team to add me to the wait list and viola a place did open up.

Its just the end of EA. Not many can be expected to be sure of joining a college if selected. The Fuqua EA was binding, so probably folks are applying in R1

Hi Simar94

Thanks for bringing this up. I just made a comparison of the number of posts in the Fuqua forum this year vs last year and the following are the results.

Comparison of new posts
Posts for period Sun Aug 30, 2020 10:00 pm - Sun Sep 27, 2020 11:59 pm (20.75%) are 64
Posts for period Sun Aug 30, 2019 10:00 pm - Sun Sep 27, 2019 11:59 pm (20.75%) are 53

Comparison of the number of users making posts
Posters for period Sun Aug 30, 2020 10:00 pm - Sun Sep 27, 2020 11:59 pm (20.75%) are 46
Posters for period Sun Aug 30, 2019 10:00 pm - Sun Sep 27, 2019 11:59 pm (20.75%) are 39

So, there is similar traffic to what we have seen in the last year :) I guess it will pick up as we come closer to the deadlines and decisions.

Interview invites for EA will go out on October 8th. I doubt they'd release them beforehand!
All the best :)

Hi All,

I have question on Why MBA. Is the 500 Character limit with Spaces or without Spaces?

Thanks

I applied to Early Action with an EA of 153. Kind of disappointed in my score as I was getting a few points higher on my practice exams but it's still within in the range of 150-155 that Adcom mentioned they were looking for.
