Question

Congratulations to everyone who got accepted to Fuqua! I hope that all of you got an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family =)

Anyone receive additional information regarding Blue Devil Weekend and Core Class Exemptions? I think the admitted students portal states that more info would be released in November, but I have not yet seen anything.

howdytex2 · Answer

I haven't heard anything. I think they are just trying to get done with Round One applications.

AUSJ · Answer

Stoked to be in at Fuqua

MsInvBanker · Answer

Congratulations!

So, where do you plan to head? LBS or Duke?

AUSJ · Answer

This is a tough call and I need to do some deep reflection !!

okaysoanyway · Answer

Same here!! Adcom mentioned I received scholarship but would have to check the portal later for the amount. So excited.

I asked about Blue Devil Weekend, sounds like it's that second weekend of February (8-10? 7-9? something like that). Curious how others are approaching this? I've got two other schools with deposits due before that weekend. Was hoping to use the weekends to help me make a decision...

MsInvBanker · Answer

Understandable. All the best with the decision making.

May I ask for your help with my Fuqua essays,  AUSJ  ?

MsInvBanker · Answer

Congratulations.
You have a tough decision on your hands ahead.

Did any admitted students receive an email update? Trying to get the PW to the FB group. It wasn't on the portal.

You got into Oxford but you're going to Fuqua,  helene  ?

helene · Answer

Haven’t made a decision yet! Saïd hasn’t sent scholarship info yet so I’ll wait for that. I did get $ from Fuqua.

Hi everyone, Congratulations on the Fuqua admit once again!
How is everyone doing? Who all have decided on Fuqua?

NTSpike · Answer

Hey everyone wanted to get some perspectives. I lucked out this round with a Fuqua full-tuition scholarship and a YSOM Consortium Fellowship. Fuqua was at the top of my list previously but I'm having second doubts with Yale in the mix. The Consortium membership on top grants access to a whole other network as well as their Summer Orientation Program recruiting conference (with partners like Bain, McKinsey, Pfizer, Google, Goldman Sachs, etc).

What would you guys do?

Narenn · Answer

Wow! You seem to be in a lucky situation. How much scholarship has McCombs offered you and which school you are leaning towards?

To answer your question, as per the decision tracker stats, 13 of the 89 Duke admits have decided to enroll so far.

Nikhil · Answer

NTSpike I advise you to create a new topic in the following forum or check out similar topics. Good luck. https://gmatclub.com/forum/admitted-whi ... hoose-192/

chakraaayan · Answer

Thanks! Narenn!
I got a basic scholarship from McCombs, and none yet from Fuqua. I have filled in their scholarship application form and am hoping that they send some $s my way!
I'm leaning heavily towards Fuqua at the moment. I'll be going to the Blue Devils Weekeend this week for final confirmations.
