Gr8 score buddy.. All the Best!! How are you planning to send transcripts? I didn't see an option of sending it through post.. I think the only option is to scan it.. What do you say?

You need to upload the transcripts online.

Hmm.. yeah.. so since I have hard copy of transcripts, I guess I'll have to scan them first and then upload them.. Thanks!!

Yes, that's the great thing about elite schools like Duke. Most of the big US schools have paper less application system.

Targetting R1....

Hey fellows,
My profile, 680(34/49/4.5)/5 yrs IT(currently with Barclays,NY),
E.c.:In school extraordinary(35 International Competitions) but avg in college

My question here is I was about to start the app but then I thought with my score is it worth apping. Not to mention, the principle that if don't app then are chances r 0.I get the philosophy but on a serious note, its not just money but the emotions then one invests in a app. Has anyone seen indian IT male/gmat 680 or below getting in. Need your advice folks.

@iLive_GMAT
You have a good GMAT score. I dont think you should be worried about GMAT score. And you have also mentioned that you have good EC's. If you can relate that to good experiences contributing to your personality then it would be great.
I read about a girl who got into HBS with a GMAT score of 660 ! Goodluck with your app.

@Siddharth, I think we guys have a commonplace profile. MIne being more, coz everywhere in the world I see IT consultants.
I had the same question in my mind. But I guess we have to follow our heart and give it r best shot. So the deal here is :
1. Living with the fact that our score is 680 or giving it another shot. For now I will stick to this.
2. The application has to be the strongest perhaps that we could ever write or else there r many applicants to fuqua every year.Trust me a ding hurts. Especially when you pour your heart out in the app.
3. In the process of drafting the application I am also willing to ground my "fly so high" ideas and presenting the best with my current experience on the resume.you know what I mean.

The above present a high level model for the app.
The age old saying....do ur best n leave the rest.
