Hi everyone, I thought I'd get this waitlist thread started -- this thread was a huge help for me when I spent many months on the Duke WL last year, and I hope it helps you all this year too. I've also attached my completely unofficial waitlist process as I experienced it last year. Hope this helps a bit (and fingers crossed, adcom doesn't change their process from last year to this year). Good luck with the Fuqua 2013 waitlist! Fuqua 2013 Waitlist Post in the thread to be added to the roll call -- and be sure to update your profiles too!

30 isn't too old. The average incoming class' age is 28, so there are plenty of people in their 30s to offset those the consultants/IBankers with 2-3 year experience, and the 4-5 year industry people. There were a few over 40 in my section. The career path and the job opportunity maybe slightly different for an older student than a younger one.

You were accepted at both Kelley and Kenan-Flagler. Just wondering why you're not going to either??

I've matriculated at Kelley...just didn't change the status.

Kelley is a solid choice, but let's hope that we are introducing each other in Durham on Thursday.

So anyone received any last minute calls? Today is Orientation, right?

Still waiting...the registration was supposed to be over by 9est so they would know by now who didn't show up. Maybe they are contacting the no shows before they call someone. I think if I don't get a call for the next 2 hours, it's over. Posted from my mobile device

Unfortunately, even if there are a few no-shows, those spots don't always get filled...that's how classes end up with strange numbers like 422.

Has anyone's status changed? Posted from my mobile device

They will change tomorrow or Monday. No more spots will be filled! It's over for us. Good Luck all in the reapplication or at other schools. We tried our best, but there was just little movement this year; Duke is getting popular every year and yield was high this year. As for me, I will be reapplying in ED and hoping for a better outcome. Failure is not an option.
