I applied EA for Fuqua. Newfish may have also since EA decisions were released on Monday.
Hey Samkhat,

Even I applied for Duke EA. Got waitlisted without interview. I think I am the only one with this kinda awkward situation. Were you given the waitlist decision after you interview?

Sorry about the delay. Yes I was given the decision after interviewing in person.

Fairly quiet on here so wanted to throw a few questions out there:

- Are we supposed to get a response from the MBAWaitlist email after sending work/score updates? I sent an update on Wednesday regarding a promotion and change in responsibilities, but haven't received a note saying that the information was added to my file or something of that nature.

- Will waitlisted individuals be considered for Round 1 or Round 2?

Thank you,

Thank you,

I applied for R1 (not EA). Got a mail about 10 days back that 'not invited for interview. However things may change later in the current round or in subsequent rounds'. I read that as "You are on hold". Which means, just hang right on!! :)

Hello,

I applied in R1 and was wait listed without an interview. Did you provide any additional details to be interviewed during R1?

Officially on the WL. Very bummed. Fuqua was my top choice.

Going to reach out for feedback / figure out if there is anything I can do.

More waiting is brutal. Thought that was BY FAR my best interview.

Sorry to hear that JBob87. It's tough to figure out the "secret sauce" on admissions, especially at a program that is as fit-oriented as Fuqua.

Common advice is to update them if anything has changed regarding your profile (new GMAT scores, promotion at work, etc.) which not only shows growth, but that you're still really interested in the program!

Best of luck.

Does Fuqua give feedback for waitlisted candidates?
