Hi there,

I applied to Duke, HSM in round 1 and have been invited for interview today. I just finished my interview by phone.
Good luck for everyone applying to Duke this fall.

Hi there,

At the first time, I intended to participate in interview session in Bangkok, but because of some mistakes, I scheduled too late and the space was not available. Fortunately, the ad office set a phone interview schedule for me. I talked with a second year student who attends health sector management as I will do. The session was friendly and informative. It was not too formal, but was the conversation. (this is typical style of duke interview, I quess from many resources) We could share our interests during the talk.
-The first question is about your background-for me, I am a doctor and a shareholder of the clinic so I was asked about why I decided to be a major shareholder of the clinic.
-Follow by why now I need an MBA
-Follow by what is my strengths and weaknesses
-and big failure and achievement
-the last is about the activities I do for fun and let me ask questions.
Finish, it took about 30 minutes. I think that these are very basic questions that we should have rough answers in mind.( I forgot to prepare for failure and achievement T-T)
I hope this help.
Good luck. Be yourself and relax.

Also applied R2! Do they notify about interviews all at once or is it rolling in that regard?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
