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.

Best day ever!!! After being dinged or WL at every other school Fuqua was the last one and it delivered! So excited to be part of the Team Fuqua community. Oh and bond007 add me to your bar tab at Shooters at BDW as well haha.

Congrats to all the admits! I'm a round 2 applicant, hoping I'll be joining you guys in the fall.

Congrats to all those admitted. Unfortunately I was waitlisted so more work to do.

As a R2 applicant, it's encouraging to see so many people getting in. Congratulations everyone! Couldn't ask for a better start to the new year myself.

Has anyone heard through the grapevine whether accepting an offer of admission prior to receiving merit scholarship information has any bearing on if / how much one will receive $$$? For ex., someone accepts and the admissions office sees this and doles out less merit $$$ knowing the person is planning to attend anyway.

Congrats to all those admitted! I'm an R2 applicant hoping to join you soon.

Yup, people seem to be hunting the same tiers of schools. Fun to run into the same people on the interview trail, as well, and compare notes. Fiancée, not wifey, yet. When things get settled where we are heading, we may set a date. And she's completing her MD, so not a nurse, she gets that way too much and it more than a little irks her. She is matching anesthesiology. Yeah, the couples process is in an enormous pain. The only place that she got an interview where I had one was at UPMC in Pittsburgh which is an incredible program. Also Cleveland Clinic and Case University system, which aren't too far from Tepper. And she is waitlisted at UNC, whose department is in a bit of turmoil and has a terrible intern year. Other than that, none of our offers have synced, which is really rough. And with residency, you make a rank list, each program makes a rank list, and the an algorithm 'matches' you. And in the middle of March is Match Day where you figure out where you're going to spend the next 3-7 years. So leaves me having to write cheques in February with no clue. Also complicating things, she loved Houston and Galveston. So now I'm contemplating Rice. Don't know if I can stomach another app with large offers to 'better' programs. Affiliation and proximity with MD Anderson is tempting... But we've told each other to take the best offer we can get, independently. With her 100-hour a week intern schedule and my MBA-1 quant-heavy schedule, we may not see much of each other in the same city anyway. Really hope it works out for the same city, though.

Got waitlisted. Again. Will be a long excruciating waiting seeing I have no admits yet. Will keep my fingers crossed and hopes positive... Wish I could have joined you guys at the BDW

Yikes! Sounds like a serious PITA, krudget! Well, best of luck to you and your soon-to-be MD fiancée. Edit: The PITA is the process, not your significant other!
