Vijender,
I have also applied to Duke, and since I am in US currently, I had scheduled my interview on the campus even before submitting my app...

I am not sure if Duke interviews all applicants... but most of the current students I met had been interviewed before being admitted... so keep your fingers crossed for the call... you should get it soon... :-)

What i meant was ... every applicant has the opportunity to get interviewed after submitting the application ... this was how it was when i applied in 2006.
You either schedule an alumni interview .. for which you have to place a request with your location details or otherwise if an alumni interview is not possible they will put you in touch with a 2nd year student to interview you.

only you can answer that question. If you cannot then nobody else can for you. And if someone else can then it would be very generic. Duke would be impressed by your unique view about the program.
It is not similar to Indian education pattern. If admitted you are going to spend more than 100K + loss of pay for two years. You should know about a university IN and OUT. This is the least you can do in my opinion.

I agree... Sanjeev I would suggest you to go through the Duke website and other resources like brochures and internet resources to look for information and try to answer this question urself, because it is not that the university has to like you, but you should know and like the university too... and believe me... there is more information about every university than u can even absorb... this question has also been asked in the application, so spend some time researching and finding out the reasons u chose to apply here... probably u should have some things thats y u applied here... all the best for the interview...

actually the typical questions r obvious... why MBA, why Duke, what would u contribute to our community, some general things about your professional background and progress, some questions may come from your resume (try to form questions on ur own from the resume to prepare for this...)

overall... it would probably be cool and not very probing, so I would suggest you to be what u r (know urself well and ur strengths and weaknesses) and be true to what u want to say, its pretty bad to be caught on the wrong foot if u cannot defend something...

Let me answer you with a question. Do YOU know why you applied to Duke? And your answer should not be any of:
a) Because it ranks in the top-10 in 2 or more rankings
b) Because average pay scale is $100k+
c) I don't know

If it is, well, then, research time, I guess. If it's not, then you already know the answer. What specific aspect of their program interests you? Just be honest.
