Just received my admit packet today! Very excited! I thought a Duke t-shirt was going to be included since there was a question about shirt size in the application form. Oh well...
So far, the admission process has been very positive and personalised - Didn't receive a call from adcom since I just moved to a different country for a project and didn't have time to update adcom with the latest contact details, but I've had 5 personal emails with congratulatory messages and offers to chat via email or Skype if I have any questions! The emails were from a senior associate director of admissions, my interviewer, the Fuqua Buddy Coordinator, my Fuqua Buddy, and an associate professor. Wow! I'm very impressed.
Meanwhile, I haven't heard anything from Darden after being admitted 3 days ago. I already received the personal emails from Fuqua's senior associate director (received over the weekend - 1 day after the notification date! Now that's really beyond impressive!) and my interviewer within 3 days after Rd 2's notification date.

gotta love the personal contact.. i didn't receive as much communication as you (would have loved to hear from a professor!) but still have loved the process. i've been away this whole week so i can't wait to get home tonight to open the admit package. it's funny, because i got a rejection from Kellogg yesterday, but had completely forgotten that yesterday was decision day for Kellogg because i'm already set on Duke. All you need is that one right acceptance and nothing else matters!

Hah! I said the exact something about t shirts! But glad to hear they've stepped up their game with timing of contact. Radio silence for two weeks after hearing the result isn't as fun.
