Fuqua (Duke) Class of 2016: Calling all applicants!

Just received an invite

Invited! Anyone got an Invite and will make it in Bangkok? Can't wait till 10Feb for the exact schedule to booking flight \o/

So what should those who didn't receive an invite today from Fuqua do? Will there be another wave of R2 interview invites sent out?

Hi, you are from Vietnam right? I chose to have an off-campus interview here in Bangkok. But that is an obvious choice because I just live here.

Hi! Hope that it would be the day on Monday or Friday to have more time in BK
Any ideas abt whether we could pick the day by ourself from R1 applicants?

Hi! Hope it could be on Monday or Friday for more time wandering around BK.

Any idea whether we could pick the day up from R1 applicants?

Invited!

Any other Indian applicants who got the Interview invite????

R2 applicant from India here. Received an invite yesterday.

Best of luck everyone!

Mr sayak..have u visited duke? Have you lived in the states? In terms of prestige booth kicks whartons butt...from 60's till today booth has helped shape Americas foreign and economic policy. It is ranked much higher than wharton.again international students only know three schools harvard stanford and wharton but that's not the case..as I said I would go to duke if given a chance and if two yrs down the line I have to flaunt my college as a means to succeed then I would have failed!

I just received an email to schedule my interview! Scheduled for the 22nd!

PM me if anyone wants to meet up or wants to share a cab to/from the airport (will probably come evening of 21st and leave late afternoon/evening of 22nd).

I scheduled my interview on sat Feb 15. Really wanted to get the 14th off so I can fly down and attend a class but don't think I can make it happen.

best of luck to all of you as someone who interviewed during the open interview process its very chilled out and relaxed ...just hope you get the right student to interview you...and remember interviews are completely blind meaning they have access to your resume and thats it...nothing else...

Scheduled to be in Durham from 20th-23rd, my interview is on the 21st. Hope to see some of you there!

I was initially going to do a weekday for a class visit as well, but it seems like Saturdays have more events - Informational Student Panel, Curriculum Panel, Career Management Center Information Session, and Fuqua Partners Session which were not available on weekdays.

I'm interviewing the 22nd, shoot me a PM if you you're flying out of NYC Friday night and want to split cab/car costs and all that.

So... I interviewed during the open interview period and really bombed. I'm still not sure what happened, exactly, but my interviewer and I were so completely opposite types of people, it was like having a conversation with a space alien. Which caused me to panic and get nervous and just not present myself very well. I think I have a strong app otherwise (one of my recommenders is a Duke alumn, and I have another letter of support from a Fuqua grad), but my low undergrad GPA was already a major obstacle to overcome.

Since I won't be getting any feedback with regards to an interview invite or ding, I thought I'd ask you guys whether you think I'm totally out of the running now, or if the interview doesn't matter as much as I think it does.

Thanks!

I understand your intention, but nothing anyone here says will mean anything because that's impossible to answer with any kind of authority. Only the adcoms know a) what weight the interview holds, b) what your interview debrief actually says and c) where your 'story' fits into the diversity of the class they're trying to construct. Nothing in the echo chamber of internet forums can shed any light on that, so I suppose: hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
