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

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.

--ROLL CALL UPDATED--

haha...I hadn't gotten past the "your accepted" part of the letter...I see it now...thanks!

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.

Congrats. Very glad to see this....

When I came home from work my daughter handed me a new Duke T-shirt that my wife bought for me. I'm an official Blue Devil now.

Got the email and filled out the info. Hopefully, it leads to good news!

Good luck to everyone!

Congrats to all the admits! I didn't realize how many gmatclub applicants there were for R1 - we have to be better than a decent blip in the entirety of the admitted student population. To those waitlisted, don't lose hope! Let them know you really want to come to Fuqua, seems at least in years past they've taken quite a few off the waitlist.

Great job to the moderators as well, that little updating snafu just shows how committed you all are.

i got waitlisted, too. I was not invited for an interview back in December so assumed I was not going to be accepted---this was kind of a nice surprise. Anyone else get WL without an interview invite??

Will attending an off-campus information session after submitting my application help my case in any way ?

I look forward to meeting all of you who chose Duke. Good luck to the wait listers and hang in there. I'm sure many of you will be there in August.

Now begins the real work of getting everything in order in preparation for July/August.

I decided not to apply. I miscalculated the number of hours required to complete 1 application. Because of my hectic work schedule, I significantly reduced the # of schools I am applying/applied to.

Congrats to those admitted! And, good luck to the R2/3 applicants! :-D

Hello everyone.

I'm a new member to the club, but I'm a long time reader.

I wanted to share the excitement with you all. I'm in as well (R1). I also recieved the weird e-mail, which ruined my friday until I got the good news.

Congrats to all that will be joining me. Good luck to all the WL, and to the dinged keep your heads held high. Everything will work out if you believe it will.

I'm on the waitlist and I'm wondering how financial aidworks if you remain on the waitlist past when fafsa deadlines are. Anyone known anyone with whom this happened? How do people that get off the waitlist late in the game fund their MBA? Thanks.

Congratulations to all people that got in. I am in for a long wait for March 8th R2 decision. Based on your experiences with weird emails, I will be checking my application status few days before the official deadline.
