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.

Hey guys--just got a call from my interviewer yesterday and she is studying abroad for a term. She said about a quarter of the class is studying abroad this term so for those who haven't received calls from their interviewer that could be the reason. Still waiting for the admit package--I think carrier pigeons would be faster at this point.

R2 applicants : Did anyone else receive an email from admissions asking for the undergrad degree certificate ?
I was under the impression that my official transcripts would be sufficient.

I got that mail on Jan 12 stating that my application is in-complete. And they asked for my University degree certificate as my transcript dont shows the date of degree conferred. Immediately I replied that mail with my UG certificate and received a confirmation mail on 15th Jan stating that my application is now ready for review.

I also received an email on 19th stating that my app is incomplete because french diploma and toefl score is missing. I sent my diploma and contacted ETS to confirm that my score has been sent. ETS gave the confirmation.
Until now, I haven't received any email from fuqua. should I call them to know what is going on?

Those who have received the admission package - is there something in it that I will require right away or everything can be found on the admitted students website and the unofficial guide? I am asking this because I am having my package delivered at my permanent address (1000 kms from where I live). Should I take the pain to get it couriered to me right away or is it something that i can wait to collect in March when I go home?

Appreciate your help.

I dont know if there is some form of non disclosure clause in the package because I see this is your 2nd time of asking this question and still no one is responding even though some have received it

Apologies for the late reply.

There is nothing in particular that you will require right away. You already have the admit student website login. The to-do checklist is already there. You can also accept the decision online. There is one page that tells you how to send your deposit, either through demand draft or wiretransfer. I am not sure whether wiretransfer details are on the website. Rest, you will find everyting on the admit student website. Just make sure that you send the deposit and official transcripts by Feb 27.

Thanks. That was really helpful. Even the wire transfer information is available online. So I think I am good for now.

hahahaha...at least you got your question answered. I am still waiting for my package though. After waiting for so long for a decision, I didnt expect to go through another round of waiting agony. It better comes with a scholarship offer :-D

Not trying to be mean, just telling it like it is.... I know I and others have all answered this question multiple times over. You don't even have to read that far back to get to the R2 section of the thread -- it's only about 2 weeks worth of posts right now, not all 49 pages!

Read the posts a few pages back and you'll find your answers.

Guys, please take 20 min and read through the thread -- all your basic questions have been asked and answered multiple times before.

True. The funny thing is, I think that those that didn't read all pages, you're probably that guy that wrote another school's name in essays. Take your time and do some research.

Fellow admits (EA and RD1), the timelines say that we should have sent in our visa documents by March 8. I guess those documents include proof of funding right? So if you plan on using a loan for the funding, does it mean you should have applied and received a response on the loan before March 8? What is likely to happen if one misses the deadline?
