Calling All Duke Fuqua MBA Applicants: 2024 Intake Class of 2026

I usually read up everything online about the universities, and the behavioural questions are almost the same

just to add some buzz words specific to each uni

Yea i guess. That’s the content we can start with

Also- I have been an entrepreneur all my career and I got rejected too.. I am guessing it’s not in their interest?

or they filled their Indian + Entrepreneur quota

Yea. That’s what i thought.

But positivity is the key here. We just need 1 convert

oh yeah!

That can also be true; I have three years in my startup, heading business development with decent revenue this year while working full-time with multinationals and having cross-cultural experiences.

But I like to believe there is sky above sky and a person above person, there are people who experienced and got through much more than us, but as AWasey said we only need one seat - so keeping the hopes up!

If you are an Indian Male who haven’t applied to Duke in EA or R1 your profile needs to be more than a high GMAT/GRE. They have admitted good number of Indian candidates in the first 2 rounds. The rounds from here on is more to diversify the composition of the class.

So today I got an email confirming that I really did get an interview invite, and that it will come in the next 1-3 days. So that means that when I get the actual interview invite, it will be the 4th email I get about an interview:

1) Fake interview invite (Feb 1st)
2) Sorry about the mistake, but we really are going to send you a notification tomorrow to confirm that you are getting an interview (Feb 1st)
3) Here’s the real confirmation that you are getting an interview (Feb 2nd)

4) The actual invitation to schedule an interview (still to come, expected Feb 3rd-5th)

I also found that a bit annoying 😅 Even if you take away the error email it seems a bit much. I don’t get why they need to send an email to tell you you’re invited and then a separate one to schedule it.

Hey any Indian male with gre got an invite ?

Hi, I applied in round 1. I got the interview call. However was rejected. My GPA is 9 and with gmat 750 and 2 years experience and good extracurriculars.

​Hi, everyone, We have a Fuqua interview prep session with a Fuqua student at 9 AM Pacific. You can join here https://www.airmeet.com/e/8f9c23e0-b359 ... 39bfe1bd2b

Not completely true. I was waitlisted without an interview in R1 but got invited for an interview in R2.

What did you do differently?

I took Coursera business courses and MBAmath. I restructured my resume a bit and included updates. Wrote a personal statement which also included my experiences talking to the students, alumni and the adcom. Talked to a new recommender about my interest in Fuqua and requested him to send an email to the adcom discussing my interest in Fuqua. Also, I was in constant touch with my waitlist manager. I can’t pinpoint as to what exactly worked, was it one of these things or a combination of these things but showing an effort to improve your profile and keeping in touch with the school probably helped.

Thank you

Anyone got the link to schedule their interview for fuqua?
