Thanks for the info. Hope it doesn't look bad that I self reported a different percentile. Sucks that it went down!
the percentile you reported should be on the unofficial grade report that you may have attached.

Good point. I did attach a copy of the unofficial report. Thanks!

Friendly upcoming deadline reminder – application for The Duke MBA LGBT Weekend closes on November 5th. I attended this event last year and in addition to having a really fun weekend, the visit helped me understand and articulate Team Fuqua in my application and I was able to interview outside of the open interview period. Highly recommend applying if you are eligible. Signup is at lgbtweekend[dot]com and I'd also be happy to answer questions. Good luck!

Guys,

I needed answers to some of these questions:

Firstly, Under the Education section, there is a requirement stating:
"Please list grades for all college level quantitative courses you have taken in the following subjects: The list consists of Calculus, Statistics, Finance, Accounting and Economics

(Be certain to provide transcripts in the section above for all courses referenced here.)"

Do I need to fill in this section if I have an undergraduate degree and have submitted my transcripts. I wasn't sure if this applies to applicants with or without a Bachelors Degree. If it does apply to applicants with a Bachelors degree, How should I report the grade? Since I'm a Finance and Accounting major, I have had to take several courses in Finance, Accounting and Economics and there's only a limited amount of information I can enter in the text box provided.

Secondly, I just wanted to confirm that I would need to enter my company name twice if I have switched departments, and twice if I have received a promotion.

Lastly, what kind of awards and recognition qualify to be put in here? The company I work for gave me a certificate for helping them their volunteer initiatives and i have some trophies I won at some speech club.

Thanks!

Hey Kana162,

I listed all of the classes I took that fell under the categories they mentioned, even though they were already listed on my transcript. I'd say list as many as you can, my impression is that they want to make sure you've actually taken one and this is a short list so they don't have to go back to your transcript. Also some schools might name a course something like "business numbers" but really it's an accounting class and you can't tell from the title.

Hope that helps!

I just submitted... feels so good to be done!

Thanks for your response. I just took an average of all my Accounting and Finance Classes and wrote down "B on average" let's see how that goes. Because i started to type in my individual grades and the textbox didn't allow more space so I emailed AdCom - here's what they said: "When listing the grades you can provide us with one letter grade in each of those boxes. Your transcript should reflect the rest of your grades since you have taken several courses in those areas." It always just helps to email adcom because sometimes they website may be a little vague, but when you ask them a specific question, they give you a better idea.

I submitted mine at 3 am local time. The online application form was quite lengthy and I kept finding errors in the PDF preview version.

Good luck you you :)

I don't see anything wrong in updating. It is not going to be a negative in any case. Worst case: They will not consider it.

Hi All,

Does Fuqua release all the interview decisions on the same day? or is sent over a period of time?

If its on the same day, Nov 20th for R1 seems to be a long wait :(

They are all on the same day as far as I know. At least that is how it was for EA.

Yeah they all will come out in the same day. Last year EA results were out at 3:00PM EST. Last to last year it was 3:30PM EST. So I am assuming this year it would be 3:15PM EST :) Round 1 results were out at 10:45AM EST though :)

Last year EA/R1 results were posted online, but in R2/R3, people actually got phone calls from admissions team starting 8:30 ET. Not sure if we will get calls or not this time around...I am hoping we don't because it just adds to the anxiety.

I think you will be getting calls. There was a furore over not calling the EA candidates last year, and Fuqua may have corrected that by calling applicants in subsequent rounds. Obviously, speculating here.
