There is still an opportunity to submit a quality application for Fuqua to be a part of the class starting in Fall 2020. While Fuqua's application questions make a campus visit very helpful, there is still a lot you can do from afar to do the research you need to do in order to submit a quality application. First let me give you some general advice about Fuqua's essay questions.
First-- Fuqua is unique with their 25 Random Things question. I've read a lot of these and also have listened to the admissions team at Fuqua talk about what they look for this essay. One thing that Dean Bill Boulding told our group of admissions counselors last year when Fuqua hosted the conference for the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants (AIGAC) has stuck with me ever since he said it-- Dean Boulding talked about how Fuqua looks for IQ, EQ and DQ-- where DQ is decency quotient. Keep Fuqua's paired principles in mind when writing this. These principles include Authentic Engagement, Supportive Ambition, Collective Diversity, Loyal Community, Impactful Stewardship and Uncompromising Integrity. Dean Boulding said that while any one of the 25 random items can indeed be random-- when you look at all 25 together there are always themes that emerge. Fuqua is looking for people who care about others and who bring diverse perspectives to the classroom and who give back. If many of your random things are about how you have social climbed or are all about you-- taken together those give some clue to who you are. Make sure when you step back and look at all 25 of your random things that some of these key principles are supported. Fuqua says they can't teach DQ-- you either have it or you don't by the time you enter business school-- so keep this in mind as you write. We have some counselors at Stratus like Fuqua alum Susan Cera who has great insight to share with clients. Susan wrote an article about Do's and Don'ts for Fuqua's 25 Random Things that will be very helpful to you.
In terms of the main essay question about how to engage at Fuqua-- granted this is more difficult to research when you can't visit the campus. But you can still do many things to gain insight into the Fuqua experience. Reach out to student ambassadors to learn more about the clubs and classes they were involved with. Read this article written by Stratus' Susan Cera to help you tackle the engagement essay.
If you are trying to get all this done in a short period of time, it can be very helpful to seek our expert guidance to help you stay on track. If you would like to discuss the Fuqua essays or any of the other programs still accepting late applications, please reach out to our team for afree consult.
