“What happens in a Duke admissions interview?”
– anonymous reader
Ruturaj interviews applicants for admission into Fuqua, the business school at Duke. He laid out all the details of what happens, what he looks for, and what turns him off during these alumni interviews.
Beyond the typical “tell me about yourself?” and other similarly expected questions, I found these insights super helpful for anyone prepping for an interview whether at Fuqua specifically, Duke in general, or any other selective college.
4 Things a Duke Admissions Interviewer Looks For
- He wants to know how much you know about the school.
“I also would ask them questions about how much they actually knew about the school; not just us in the program, but how much they knew about Duke. It’s always interesting to see how much people research about schools.”
- He wants a surprising answer to “What’s something interesting about you that isn’t on your resume?”
