Thanks everyone for participating in our recent Fuqua adcom chat. It was nice having adcom members on the forum and answering questions about Fuqua's MBA program, application process, placements, etc. Special thanks to Amirmahdi, MariaAntony, Thibo1414, blowice27, Businessconquerer, Lekoben, SyedMurtazaNYC, fefinotto for asking some nice questions in this session.
Here are key takeaways from the chat. Full transcript is also available to download below.
Here are key takeaways from the chat. Full transcript is also available to download below.
- Early Action is absolutely binding.
- The optional essay should only be used to explain something in your application that needs more clarification such as gaps in work experience, trends in GPA, etc.
- 25 random things essay: We really want your 25 things to be about you. We will have seen your work experience and resume, so we do not want a rehash of that. I would look at work things in the 25 things as what has been impactful in your life or something you are proud of. If you have already included it in your resume or work experience, I would not include it in the 25 random things. That essay is meant for us to get to know you as a person. For example, what are you passionate about, what is your favorite thing and why, etc.
- You have to have two recommendations submitted in order for your application to be completed and reviewed at Fuqua. You can’t only submit one. We prefer if a current supervisor can submit one of them, but know that’s not always possible, so make sure that at least one of your recommenders has supervised you in some capacity. If you don’t have two supervisors that you can use, consider a partner, client, or possibly a team member to submit the other on your behalf. Just make sure they can speak to your teamwork and leadership skills!
- We only offer merit based scholarships and not need based scholarships. Merit based scholarships are awarded with a holistic approach to the application. Each area of your application is weighted and not one factor qualifies for a merit based scholarship.
- Postponing the application to next round: You will not have to restart anything! If you indicate Round 1 on your application but do not submit at the deadline, we’ll continue to send you reminders about submitting for a future deadline, but none of the work you or your recommenders have done will be lost. You’ll simply change the round that you’re applying to the next one.
- Do adcoms see canceled scores or # of GMAT attempts? GMAC recently changed how the score reports look when you send them to schools (within the last year), and we can no longer see the number of attempts that you have made. At Fuqua, we look really favorably upon students taking the test multiple times, so please indicate that on your application! It shows grit and perseverance, which means a great deal to the AdCom.
