Duke (Fuqua) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

invited!

Wait until Jan 8. You'll either be WL or dinged. If WL, you could be invited to interview with the R2 applicants.

Still no response, heck. No update on my Fuqua account either, just showing status "Submitted". They're really going to drag this out till the last hour.

Not to give false hope, but applicants that were not invited to interview are not outright dinged. There is still the chance that you can be waitlisted. In fact, I was a R2 applicant last year that did not receive an invitation to interview during the second round. In R3 decisions, my status changed to "Invited to Interview" and I interviewed in that round and was waitlisted until the Summer orientation started.

I reapplied this year as an EA applicant and I am admitted for the class of 2015! Moral of the story? Don't give up!

To those who got good news today, congrats! Be careful when you visit campus for your interviews, you will most likely fall in love with the campus and the more importantly, the people.

Go Team Fuqua!

Hi all, had a question. I haven't received an email update, and my online "Submission status" is still just "Submitted".
The East Coast day is over. Should I write them an email, or call them tomorrow morning to check? I had met R1 deadline.

Would appreciate the advice.

did your recommenders submit everything on time?

Hey Jontron, yes both recommenders submitted a day before the deadline, and I received the confirmation email for meeting Round 1.
My other friend was hypothesizing that during my campus visit before Round 1, they had conducted an "interview" with a 2nd year student, and that that might be counting that as the formal replacement for the actual interview. Is that the case?

Sounds odd as I wasn't suited or booted thinking it was an informal interview.

Not Invited. Thought I had done a good job with the essays.

Good luck to those who have received the invite.

Not Invited !

Invested the maximum time on my Fuqua App so hugely disappointed.Thought it was my best app and I really liked the school. Can't believe it

Great seats!

The wife and I celebrated my invite by watching this game with some beer and pizza. congrats on the win, I'm sure it was a good time

Awesome!

Congratulations to all the invitees! I know the 25 random things wasn't an easy essay (though I'm going to say I had fun with it)

Go Blue Devils!

But seriously it's nice to see that Duke is inviting the guys with the lower Gmat scores like 620 and 640. Unlike Gmat loving Ross which seemed to have invited only the 700 and up crowd.

I completely agree with you, canadianchamp! The 25 things was hard, but looking back (nostalgically? perhaps not...) I can say it was the essay I had the most "fun" writing.

Agreed. Duke really got a sense of my personality and values through this essay. I cant believe a school invited me after some of the random stuff I put in there, lol. Either way, if they invited me after reading my list, it confirms that Fuqua's a great fit for me.

Is there anyone from INDIA, who has got an invite for Duke Interview. ????

Just curious to know your GMAT score and GPA, profile..etc.

Duke is awesome.
