Has anyone heard back from Re Vera about holds? I emailed them in October for the hold on contacting my employer and they said they were still downloading info from Fuqua and would notify me when it was done. Still haven't heard anything


Same here. Heard nothing back after the initial mail when they said they will notify me once they reach my app and send a confirmation letter once done. I plan to send a mail this weekend to follow up.

I paid 2 weeks back. I had contacted Revera to put a hold on some parts of the verification and they said they are now currently in the process of receiving data for verification from Fuqua. So depending on when they receive the data for a particular app, the employer verification would start.

But they did not mention anything about $75 thing. I had also not asked since it did not cross my mind till now that I was charged $10 less. I am not complaining though :cool:



ok then it means that revera seems to be ok with usd 75 fees

Have you heard anything back? I asked Re Vera not to contact my present employer, they said that they were still downloading info and will send a confirmation email but I haven't received any confirmation yet!

I'm planning to wait until next week and then email them. By then it'll be a month since the last email which said they're downloading the packets from Fuqua. Plus, I doubt they're working this week! If I hear anything from them I'll post something

Perhaps it depends also on whether the school has received (or not) the USD 3000 deposit? any thought? any news guys? in any case, enjoy thksgiving!

Just got the hold notification via email a few minutes ago. I'm guessing they'll be adding a hold for everyone who requested one. If you don't receive an email today I'd contact them again! Now to just submit the deposit this week and then I'm all set until BDW...

FYI, Fuqua released their employment report from last year: https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/sites/www1.f ... -11-17.pdf

Amazon was the biggest employer last year. And the median salary for all who accepted a position increased by $5k over last year, to $125k

I think full time stats are a better indicator, don't you think so?. Looks like Deloitte hired the highest number of full times.

Oh yea, I agree. I guess that's why I've heard people call Fuqua "Duke Deloitte."

I am curious with Amazon ramping up the intern offers. Another thing to look for is where Amazon puts their HQ2 - Atlanta is the odds-on favorite supposedly (https://money.cnn.com/2017/10/24/news/co ... index.html). Could definitely help Fuqua in the future if that ends up holding true...

Do you just email the bluedevilweekend email address to register for BDW in Feb? I didn't notice a registration tab on the website anywhere, maybe I am totally missing over this!
