fuqua mostly doesnt reject with or without interview. They waitlisted almost everyone including me in R1 too with out interview too

What was your final decision on the decision day? Waitlisted?

Not a consultant but I can help you as a fellow aspirant, maybe whatever little I can. Btw I converted Fuqua yesterday.

Can you elaborate, please? As per admissions committee, Fuqua does not do rolling interview invites or final decisions. Their R2 decision is due on 12th March, so just trying to understand how come you have a decision already?

Yes they got back to me as I had written to them, shared my other offers

Request for an early decision and share your other offers with them, hopefully should work

Which offers did you use to convince them?

I think any offer works, it’s not like they are making a decision to select you based on who else selected you. They are just going to share whether they want you asap or see if you share a desire to really join them (read waitlist) in advance of the deadline. Just give them a reason why you want the decision before Mar 13.
