Did you get a mail saying you were rejected? I thought it would be first come first serve and not really a shortlisting process.

Yupp . The following is what I got:

Thank you for submitting your questionnaire for the virtual Duke MBA International Applicant Symposium. We received application questionnaires from many more than we are able to accommodate, and at this time, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you an invitation to attend this year’s event.

if you don’t mind me asking, how much is your GMAT score? Also, did you apply for FT MBA in round 1 and got rejected without an interview?

Anybody who applied last year or have any idea about it, what is the significance for getting the international symposium invite from Duke?

Similar to getting a diversity event invite from Darden? (which meant that you seem like a promising/unique applicant to the bschool)

I spoke with a second-year student, and he asked me not to read too much into this as sometimes invites are random.

the event is on nov 11-12, interview invites come out nov 8.

it would be very weird to get ding with no interview and also invite to this event lol

imagine you are rejected, but then invited to attend this event, seems pointless

it is always good to know more about the school. Especially if you have to reapply next year.
