What are your short-term goals, post-MBA? 2. What are your long-term goals? 3. Life is full of uncertainties, and plans and circumstances can change. As a result, navigating a career requires you to be adaptable. Should the short-term goals that you provided above not materialize what alternative directions have you considered? Required Essays: Answer both essay questions 1. The "Team Fuqua" spirit and community is one of the things that sets The Duke MBA experience apart, and it is a concept that extends beyond the student body to include faculty, staff, and administration. When a new person joins the Admissions Team, we ask that person to share with everyone in the office a list of "25 Random Things About Yourself." As an Admissions team, we already know the new hire's professional and academic background, so learning these "25 Random Things" helps us get to know someone's personality, background, special talents, and more. In this spirit, the Admissions Committee also wants to get to know you - beyond the professional and academic achievements listed in your resume and transcript. You can share with us important life experiences, your likes/dislikes, hobbies, achievements, fun facts, or anything that helps us understand what makes you who you are. Share with us your list of "25 Random Things" about YOU. Please present your response in list form, numbered 1 to 25. Some points may be only a few words, while others may be longer. Your complete list should not exceed 2 pages. 2. When asked by your family, friends, and colleagues why you want to go to Duke, what do you tell them? Share the reasons that are most meaningful to you. Your response to this essay question should be no more than 2 pages in length. Please respond fully and concisely using 1.5 line spacing.

I was in two minds because I'm already enrolled in one and plan to start on another in a week. Never knew Prof. Dan was that famous I might take it now. Anyhow, I'll be there at the Healthcare innovation course that starts mid April. Cheers : Read more about the man and the course. Will be there.

Congrats to all the admits and what a change of events--so much for no phone call! Love to see Fuqua making enhancements mid admissions season. For the admits, I definitely recommend going to BDW as its a great way to meet future classmates before school starts as well as to give you a sense of the team culture that makes Fuqua unique. Also get set-up on the Facebook to go to local events with other future students in your area. Excited to meet some Round 2ers. On a side note, I'm gunning for highwayre.

Does anyone know what time the admissions office is open until?

count me in for Team highwyre as well!

ha, thanks for the support everyone, I really appreciate it!

Count me in as well. Get highwyre in ASAP, so I can get to the top of the waitlist class....

I think the next enhancement Fuqua needs is letting waitlisters attend BDW.

Interesting article about MBA compensation. Looks like Fuqua is now pretty close to the top! https://poetsandquants.com/2013/03/18/wh ... ne-deal/2/ Posted from my mobile device

Any movement today or was it all finished on Friday? Highwyre, I still have my fingers crossed for you!

Yes, I got an early morning call from Adcom saying that sorry since we waitlisted you on Friday, no one in the admission office has been able to sleep at night....I got excited, but then later realized that it was time to wake up and go to work.
