What are your short-term goals, post-MBA? 2. What are your long-term goals? 3. Life is full of uncertainties, and plans and circumstances can change. As a result, navigating a career requires you to be adaptable. Should the short-term goals that you provided above not materialize what alternative directions have you considered? Required Essays: Answer both essay questions 1. The "Team Fuqua" spirit and community is one of the things that sets The Duke MBA experience apart, and it is a concept that extends beyond the student body to include faculty, staff, and administration. When a new person joins the Admissions Team, we ask that person to share with everyone in the office a list of "25 Random Things About Yourself." As an Admissions team, we already know the new hire's professional and academic background, so learning these "25 Random Things" helps us get to know someone's personality, background, special talents, and more. In this spirit, the Admissions Committee also wants to get to know you - beyond the professional and academic achievements listed in your resume and transcript. You can share with us important life experiences, your likes/dislikes, hobbies, achievements, fun facts, or anything that helps us understand what makes you who you are. Share with us your list of "25 Random Things" about YOU. Please present your response in list form, numbered 1 to 25. Some points may be only a few words, while others may be longer. Your complete list should not exceed 2 pages. 2. When asked by your family, friends, and colleagues why you want to go to Duke, what do you tell them? Share the reasons that are most meaningful to you. Your response to this essay question should be no more than 2 pages in length. Please respond fully and concisely using 1.5 line spacing.

Okay....just received an email......saying that one of the alums will contact me with more details within a week about the interview. I really doubt that all the interviews will be done by 16th Oct.

I just received a Skype invite recently. Told to coordinate directly with interviewer and complete by the 16th.

Was told to send over a copy of my résumé and that would be the only info my interviewer will have seen.

Yeah..... same here

Out of curiosity, do we have to send the same resume that we submitted in the Duke app, or can we update (i mean add all those extracurriculars)

Hey, just got in touch with my interviewer. Sunday evening it is!
As for the CV, my opinion is 'avoid anything different'. I don't think extra-currics will make a difference so you can still go ahead an add it but I feel it's best to stick to what we uploaded since it's hardly been a while since Sept 19 and I doubt they will be expecting too many updates.

This may go without saying, but I'd assume its safe to say Skype will be video interviews?

I'm actually a bit more comfortable with the 2nd year fellow interviewer because on-campus interviews are also with 2nd years. Means one less changing variable in the process.

I guess it's the end of Fuqua for me. Good luck to you Bbharuka!

Last year, I think applicants who were not interviewed in the EA round or those were interviewed and not accepted in EA, were waitlisted.
I think final decisions for this year's EA round will be available on Oct 30.
One should not lose hope unless someone has outrightly been rejected today.
Best of luck!

I do hope that's so. But you're right in saying that we shouldn't lose hope. After all, we've only just begun this marathon

Interviewed yesterday over skype with a 2nd year student. Pretty conversational, although most of my questions were based on my resume.....apart from the standard why mba, why duke, questions. Very fast-paced, did not get enough time to cover some important points.

But, I felt it went well. Best of luck to others.

by the way guys, how do you check application status? Is it through the application portal? mine just says completed

also, I submitted for EA and interviewed in Sep 10th via open interview.[/quote]

Hey Bodu, sorry didn't see this before. I got an email on October 10 from Fuqua about the status. In the application portal, under application status, a new entry should be displayed 'Interview status'.

This is regarding application status.
I'm a reapplicant and submitted my application in the EA round. I was interviewed on Sept 26.
My application status still says "Submitted". I'm confused.... some people in this forum say that their application status shows "Completed".

Is there anyone whose application status shows "Submitted" still ?

Though I actually thought mine said completed previously.

Mine does. Only says...submitted on xyz date. No mention of the on-campus interview I did during the open interview period. But I did get an email a couple of days after I submitted my application that my application was complete and now heading to the evaluation stage.
