I tried to look for this online but couldn't find an answer. Is there any advantage to attending Fuqua's open interview instead of waiting for an interview invitation?

Regarding Application essays,

Is there any disadvantage to mention that your

short term goal is to get into a Brand/Product Management position in a company like P&G or Unilever; when internationals are not opted for Marketing jobs Abroad.

Would the Adcoms see this in a negative way, because they might worry that he/she might not be able to achieve his/her short term goals after MBA.

Is it better to state something else rather than take this risk, is it even a risk?

Applied R2 and according to the website the interview invitations should be out this week... but I haven't heard anything yet. Am getting a little anxious...

Does Duke interview all of admitted students? (Does not say on their website but I always presumed from top 20 standard...)
