Prepare your essays carefully. The Admissions Committee considers your responses to the following questions important in the selection process. Please respond fully and concisely using 1.5 line spacing. Your response to each question should be no more than 2 pages in length, with a font size not smaller than 10-point. Candidates who applied to The Duke MBA between September 2008 and April 2009 are considered re-applicants. All re-applicants are required to complete the Re-applicant Essay in addition to the Applicant Essays. All applicants have the opportunity to submit an optional essay to explain any extenuating circumstances of which the Admissions Committee should be aware. Applicant Essays : Answer all 3 essay questions. Today, companies must navigate through complex and interdependent issues. They must deal with health and security matters, environmental impact questions, and diversity and cultural concerns. Leaders need adaptability, imagination, emotional intelligence, as well as business acumen. Thus, Duke is in the midst of an ambitious global venture that will embed and connect us around the world, and we are seeking future leaders of consequence, those who value diversity and collaborative leadership, and who aspire to impact the companies and communities of which they are a part in a lasting and positive way. In an effort to identify, engage, and foster the development of future leaders of consequence, the Admissions Committee would like to get to know our applicants in a more holistic manner. We would like to know who you are, what has shaped you into the person you are today, and how you hope to impact both Duke and the communities of which you will be a part in the future. The essays are your opportunity to convey that to us. Please be open, genuine, and passionate. Share with us what makes you a dynamic, multi-dimensional person. 1. Describe your vision for your career, your inspiration for pursuing this career path, and the role of The Duke MBA in achieving your goals. If you are interested in a specific concentration or joint degree program, please discuss in this essay. 2. Discuss a person, event, or experience that has significantly shaped your life and explain why. 3. Individuals choose a business school for many different reasons. Through your research, what attributes or characteristics of The Duke MBA program have most resonated with you and why? How do you plan to contribute to the strengthening and enhancement of those attributes and characteristics during your time at Duke and beyond? Optional Essay (not required) If you feel there are extenuating circumstances of which the Admissions Committee should be aware, please explain them here (e.g., unexplained gaps in work, choice of recommenders, inconsistent or questionable academic performance, significant weakness in your application). 2010 Deadlines Early Action Deadline: October 6, 2009 Notification: November 24, 2009 Round 1 Deadline: November 12, 2009 Notification: January 19, 2010 Round 2 Deadline: January 7, 2010 Notification: March 8, 2010 Round 3 Deadline: March 9, 2010 Notification: April 22, 2010 GMATclub threads Application Information (essays, dates, etc...) https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/programs/duke_mba/daytime/apply_daytime/ 2009 Applicants Thread https://gmatclub.com/forum/calling-all-duke-fuqua-fall-2009-applicants-66970.html Class of 2010 Profile: https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/programs/duke_mba/daytime/ Employment Reports: 2009: https://www.fuquaworld.duke.edu/cmcfiles/DukeMBAFinalEmploymentStats08-09_06-03-09.pdf 2008: https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/documents/mba_recruiting/Duke_MBA_preliminary_employ1.pdf

Well after all that stress, I am in! I'm about 95% sure I'm going to Duke.

Congrats to those that are in - hope to see you this fall. For those on the waitlist, I am betting that quite a few people will come off.

It is your fault - you told me if I liked basketball over football to go to Duke...hopefully you'll get into Kellogg anyway.

Waitlist... man, this thing is getting crowded!

Every school uses the waitlist to manage yield, but I think Fuqua is using it even more this year, especially since they had such a high conversion rate last year. They increased class size by ~30 or so and probably want to trim that number a bit, so I'm not surprised that they would put so many on the waitlist this year, as it may give them a chance to manage their numbers a little bit better. Anyway, good luck to everyone on the waitlist, and congratulations to all those who got accepted today!

WTF!!!! I was trying to update as well. All that hard work. Took me a good 30 minutes to sort it all out. It would be more awesome if billyjeans and ACNguy tried to update it. Too many moderators applying to Fuqua.

With all that double effort, we deserve some kudos, so here's

Does anyone know if how scholarships work? I assume that since no one said they got any $$$ then no one did...my letter didn't say anything about $$$ so I am assuming that I didn't get any.

If you get $, they'll let you know in the admit packet in the mail.
