I had a one-on-one session with the admissions committee to address some queries. Being my first individual interaction, I was a bit anxious. Despite my efforts to be organized and prepared, I found myself fumbling with my sentences, even though I am usually a fluent speaker. As a waitlist applicant from Round 1, I’m concerned if this may have left a negative impression or if the committee might make a note of it when evaluating my application later on. I’m feeling stressed about it.
I wouldn’t be too worried. In very rare instances (confirmed by AdCom when I attended a diversity weekend event in Nov 2023), interactions like these matter. It typically has to be very rude/offensive for Adcom to note something. In your case, I am sure you were sincere but just nervous so it would be okay. The adcom confirmed writing note in application package based on the interaction is very rare

Thank you so much! This really helped make me less stressed. I appreciate it.

People often suggest staying in touch with the adcom during a waitlist period, but if adcom don’t keep track of interactions, reaching out 2-3 times a month may be excessive I feel. In a waitlist session, an adcom mentioned that the frequency of emails or interactions doesn’t impact candidacy. But still one admitted students shared in this same thread that he scheduled 1:1 sessions after each update, submitting 10-11 in total, I feel it may seem excessive and might be overdoing it. Thoughts?

For every success story, I am sure there is also plenty of unsuccessful stories never told. I can’t say with certainty because I am not an ad-com but submitting 10-11 in total sounds extremely excessive. I am an R1 admit with $$$ from ORM and I connected with my ad-com only twice on 1-1 basis. if I need to submit updates, I would imagine that I would only do it once (at mid-point where I compiled everything neatly) or max twice. Ad-com is busy and often support hundred of students - to request to meet so often tell me that the candidate understand the nature of the process

If you are waitlisted at Duke, feel free to DM me and I am happy to help brainstorm! I spent a lot of time with Fuqua in person and ad-com so I think I have a good idea of what they value

Creed2232 Congratulations on taking this step in the right direction as a waitlist applicant. Most applicants underestimate the importance of this during the waitlist process. On the contrary, the admissions committee would truly welcome your reaching out and demonstrating continued interest in the school. Adcoms perfectly understand that the candidate may be nervous because they want to make a good first impression. Do not be concerned. This conversation will, all things considered, only show your sincere efforts.

On another note, just to set the right precedent for everyone reading or overthinking, I want to add that it's okay to fumble or not have a perfect speech or not be 100% fluent and correct in English when you are applying to/interviewing for B-schools. All that matters is what you have achieved professionally, your maturity and your authenticity.

Best wishes
Aanchal Sahni (INSEAD alum, former INSEAD admissions interviewer)

They will call you and/or update the decision on your application portal

Seems like there might be a glitch with the Fuqua system 😅 Just got an email reminding me to complete my interview by November 17, 2023. I’m hoping it’s a sign they’re trying to reach out for this round instead 🤞

Did anyone else just get a really odd email from Duke asking to complete their interview by Nov 17, 2023?
