Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

As we open the 2026–2027 Duke MBA application, we are introducing several updates designed to support applicants, provide greater clarity, and create additional opportunities to engage with Fuqua.

In designing the 2025-2026 Daytime MBA application, the primary focus was refining the admissions process in a way that helps us get to know applicants more authentically and holistically.

From day one, the Fuqua community was incredible in welcoming me and my husband.

At Fuqua, we strive to create a community that reflects the world’s rich diversity of cultures, experiences, and perspectives.

Changes to Fuqua's interview policy and Consortium membership headline the updates to the Daytime MBA application.

As students at Fuqua, we embrace what makes us unique.

Despite initial anxiety, the preparation paid off, and having my wife and dog with me has enhanced my MBA journey.

The MBA also offered an ability to build practical skills and dive deeper into specific areas of interest.

Applicants on the waitlist can (and should) interact with the admissions office in a variety of ways.

When applying to business schools last year, it seemed like most of the schools were very similar, but a campus visit helped me understand Fuqua's values.
