Nothing on midnight. I have heard people get calls starting from 9 am est to 4 pm est. the website is updates around 2 pm. So no you don't need to stay up the entire night but you won't get much asleep either. For me it's either going to a bschool or no as i have no faith in yale and nyu and frankly don't even want to go there.booth was my top choice but didn't happen.hbs waitlist is also not very favorable because they have a 90% yield and so only stanford gets some from hbs but that's it.

If you pulled off HBS waitlist, I'm sure you'll get into one of those three, don't stress too much!

i thought so about booth too but was denied. it was also by far my best application. I think a gmat score of 670 brought me down there and the same goes for yale. NYU is the worst process i have ever seen so i have no hopes from NYU and i am in nyc so i kinda want to move out. hence it is either duke or no grad school. In hindsight I should have studies harder for my gmat and shouldn't have thought that my gpa of 3.83 would get past the academic credentials section.

FROM Fuqua Current Student Blogs: Health Sector Management (HSM) Highlights in Fall 1 and 2

Greetings prospective HSMers! Fall Terms 1 and 2 were a busy and exciting time in the Health Sector Management (HSM) program, with weekly academic seminars, the November healthcare conference, and the December Town Hall meeting. These events kept us busy, engaged, and constantly learning.

Each Wednesday morning during Fall 1 and Fall 2 the entire HSM first-year class attended a seminar led by a different prominent player in the healthcare management field. For example, we heard from Richard Bartlett and Krishna Udayakumar from the Duke-based International Partnership for Innovative Healthcare Delivery. They both spoke about SalaUno, a center that provides affordable cataract surgeries in Mexico. In another seminar, Paula Garrett from Eli Lilly spoke about the power of consumer insights and segmentation by using Cialis as a case study. These seminars were a highlight of my week— I had the opportunity to catch up with my HSM classmates and participate in lively conversations about current issues facing the world healthcare market. The speakers and our discussions were very informative.

Students engaged in the November Healthcare Conference.

The November Duke Healthcare Conference was a day packed with speakers and networking. For me, the most interesting parts of the conference included the closing keynote by Jeff Henderson, the CFO of Cardinal Health, and a session on health insurance exchange implementation featuring panelists, some of whom were HSM alum, from Blue Cross Blue Shield, Deloitte, the State of North Carolina, and Aon Hewitt.

final keynote

The day concluded with a networking session for first years where we were able to interact with panelists and ask follow-up questions, as well as learn more about internship opportunities at various healthcare firms. I was thrilled to be able to speak with alumni from some of my top-choice firms for my summer internship. I left the healthcare conference grateful for the strong Fuqua HSM alumni network. I valued the opportunity to learn from alumni working in various aspects of the healthcare sector who shared unique insights about their work by serving as conference panelists or while interacting during the networking event.

In December, a group of HSMers gathered on a Friday evening for a “Town Hall” event right before Fuqua Friday to hear from Dr. Brian Caveney, Vice President and Medical Director of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. This session was an informal question-and-answer discussion in which Dr. Caveney discussed changes in the health insurance marketplace that resulted from the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It was fascinating to hear about these changes from the payer perspective. I had read frequently about payers’ reactions to the ACA in the news, but hearing about these issues firsthand gave me additional context to better understand the situation. I have been able to apply what I learned during this talk in subsequent HSM classwork and even in my internship interviews.

With so many healthcare topics in the news and rapid changes in the industry, it’s beneficial to have healthcare events on campus to keep me in the loop on what’s happening in the real world. I think that the analytical perspective we get from these events—and the HSM program as a whole—provides the tools we need to be future managers and decision-makers in the healthcare field.

Sooo.... Results this week.

I know how slim the odds are, particularly after bombing my interview, but that small little hope inside me just won't die. It's going to be pretty crushing if/when the denial comes. Has anyone come up with a good strategy for coping?

My interview wasn't great either anf fuqua is my last chance as I was denied by booth and waitlisted at hbs.i really can't think of going through 1 more year of torture and preparations and apply again. I have made a convincing story as to why fuqua but I am leaning towards 30% acceptance chances. All I can say hang in there but you have already been accepted at other schools so you atleast have an out.i only applied to top 10 and it would be crushing for me if I don't get in.my fingers are crossed and wouldn't get any sleep till Thursday. The only way to cope with it is tell yourself that you better off than others in some respect atleast.

Why do you think you bombed your interview?

Because I full-on panicked deer-in-headlights style at even the most basic questions (i.e. where do you want to live post-MBA?) It was so terrible. I'm not sure what happened exactly, other than a combination of a lack of sleep and caffeine. I'm so embarrassed. I interviewed during one of the diversity weekends and the program only allowed for about 5 hours of sleep the night before. Definitely not my best.

Hopefully everyone else did much better!

I see you have a killer verbal score.i am planning to retake my gmat regardless of whether I get in or not since it's only 670 with an even split. If you could help me out and tell me which books and prep material you used I would be grateful

That's what I think based on my app and interview. No definitive science behind it

Invited or Self-Initiated Interview? I assume there is a difference between the two, does anyone have a sense?
