I got the call from Richard Wallace this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I never thought I'd get in. I've been doing a jig all day. Good luck to those of you still on the list!

would you mind sharing stats and/or letters that you sent?


also, i see that duke accepted people from WL in July for last couple of years... i have little hope left, but i do not believe that this is over yet.

I'm OOS (not that that matters here), I have a 3.85, 40Q. I didn't send a single thing since I finished my application (I wrote a thank you note post interview but it never found its way into the mail). So as you can see, I didn't do too much.

@ rugby- call Mr. Wallce yourself and find out: 919-684-2985

wallace smallace...

i'm gonna stay in the dark here, instead.

however, if they are accepting 40Q's from the WL, then i'm waaaaaayyyy down the chain (34R).

*sigh*

Wallace must be a psychic if he's able to predict that no Duke acceptee will be taken off another school's waitlist.... i'm impressed.

 

[gates_2]

Heh Maybe he was trying to make me feel better as I'm also way down on the list(34 mcat as well)

 

[gates_2]

He didn't say he knew it wasn't going to move- he said he could say for sure either way but that the class looked like it was completely filled... Maybe 1 lucky person will get in, I just gleaned from that conversation that it will not be me.

Wait, he actually talked to you? It seemed from the waitlist email that Duke DID NOT want anyone to call about requesting info about their status.

Yes I spoke with him on the phone; I dont' think he actually went and pulled my file though.. I was looking for some closure on the matter, and i guess I got a little
