Yeah very behavioral sprinkles with the “tell me about yourself/ why mba/ why fuqua/ how do you expect to contribute”. Clearadmit had interview reports by school so you can get a sense for the questions they’ll ask and the overall flow of the interview
Authenticity is key. So many people don’t bring passion or seem like they’re just repeating the points the interviewer wants to hear. Or you can tell they’re just repeating the same answer they would for other schools and merely switching out the school name.
Duke wants to know you’ve done your research about the school and you’re excited to potentially go there. There’s a reason they have lower average GPAs/GMATs compared to other schools ranked at their level - they focus on fit. Would rather a passionate person (who’s still qualified) vs someone with a 770 GMAT and other high scores that’ll look good for rankings
Really helpful points there! I’ll make sure to remember those

Mine was with a student. Very casual. Make sure you know what Team Fuqua means to you

Duke wasn’t my first choice. I chose oxford. But for Duke, I just said I had aspirations to work in Atlanta and they have a strong network there.
