Hi Tentenan,
Did you recently leave a similar post on the BW forum as well. I read it this morning and came across something similar on PG now. Are you done with your interview? I had mine a few weeks ago in Bangalore.
It was regular stuff but my hopes are not too high cos he said at the end that Im a strong candidate but the chink my armor is my work ex of 2.5 yrs which is way less than most other applicants i.e. 5 6 yrs atleast.
Cheers,
FM
Strange, I thought results come out on Jan 18th. I didn't get an interview invite but still pin hopes on my application and the words that 'Interviews are not mandatory for the application process' :)

Yep, Jan 18 is the R1 decision date. But I want to ask them if there's any chance they'll tell me my decision - Ding, yes, waitlist whatever by Jan 14 atleast cos I've bought time from HEC Paris to pay up my deposit. Have you been following the Duke thread on BW, you might wanna check it out if you haven't.
All the best!

Even I had asked for TOEFL exemption but they said they didn't require any proof/transcripts for application review.

Where are you located? Go through various forums to pick up pointers for the Duke interview cos they pretty much follow a standard set of questions. Even the hatke questions are from their standard Question list.
Ive also applied to Darden, got the interview notification but as instructed am waiting for the alumnus to get in touch with me.
I got into Ivey in Canada but am not interested.
Am mostly going to HEC Paris unless Duke comes through its a tough situation cos HECs given me a confirmation extension till Jan 15 and Dukes decision is on Jan 18!!
Still havent heard from Haas.

I second Catapult. They said I dont need to send TOEFL scores but didnt reqquire hard copies of my transcripts. My joy however was shortlived cos I had to give TOEFL for Haas anyway
Hey good to see duke thread. Any idea when will the decisions be out?
movernshakker SaysHey good to see duke thread. Any idea when will the decisions be out?
Round 1 - Jan 18
My profile as asked earlier: 27/F/680/Doc/2.5 yrs in education industry - Gen Mgmt and Ops

Am so envious of you 23 and 24 yr olds - what a headstart you have:-)
Cheers,

Hey I know its 18th Jan but what I ment was, when do they start sending out calls? Is it on the last day itself or can we expect something a bit in advance??

Admits/Dings/Waitlists etc are on18th and I dont think release any before that although Im gonna request them anyway.
As far as I've heard, they sent out to interview calls to whoever they wanted to by Nov 30 but thats probly not accurate.
Hi,
I would be really thankful, if somebody can throw light on as to if the recos can be submitted by recommenders after submitting the online application. Please reply fast as today is the deadline and my recommender is out of town today.
Thanks,
Harsh
Harsh, As far as I know everything needs to be submitted by 3rd Jan 11:59 pm EST (Check on fuqua site if its 5 pm EST ) that mean 4th Jan 10:29 am (IST). Call your recommender and ask him to submit tomorrow early morning before 10 am.
Also You can submit your application regardless of the recommendation but it wont be considered if recommendation is not submitted by deadline.

Most schools are considerate.
You can call them up, and there are most likely to give you an extension.
Dont worry.
Thanks tentenan!!! That surely gives me respite. He sent it a day after.
