Hi all!
Firstly, congratulations to all interview invitees. Please do share your experience in terms of the questions asked and answered with the forum.
Also, how did you all address the 'Which other MBA colleges are you applying to question?' Is this a trick question and should I be careful about the same?

Regards,
Shruti

Why would it be a trick question? They expect applicants to apply to more than one school, unless you applied in the early cycle.

I do agree, but I wouldn't mention that you applied to H/W/S, as they may think that Fuqua might not be your first choice. This is why I like EA- as it gives the school confirmation that you are interested in the program and will attend if admitted.

Be aware that the GMAT report Duke receives will list the other schools that you sent your score to.

Hello everyone!

Can anyone comment about how good is the "MMS" program at Fuqua School of Business?

Looking forward to your replies!

Best,
Arjun

I thought they get only the one score you sent. And, I totally agree that you should disclose what other schools you are applying to. At least 3 more, these schools should make sense with your goals and your placing Duke among them.

I have to say though - the Fuqua app form is exhausting.

Hi All,

What's the time before the R1 application should be submitted? Most colleges have a 5 PM et , pst time. I see none for Fuqua. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I agree. 25 random things looked easy but was way too gruelling. Infact learnt a bit more about myself.

Yup! If you go to your online application and open the link to the pdf under the application instruction section, it will explicitly say that the deadline is 11:59 PM ET. Hope this helps!

Nono this one is working for me too. However Duke has sent me an email today. To create a onelink account, which I've done. And then to check the status of my application on the link I showed before. And this link is not working.

Hey there,
Give it a week. It is to track your application status. The final Decision is on 9th November so you'll get to see it in a while i think
