Excuse my ignorance....AOA?

The allopathic medical school honor society. 25% of the class is eligible, up to 16% of the class are elected.

And brooklyn, there have been UNC students in the med school before, so I'm assuming they hate the bball team. At least until we convert them...

 

[MrBurns10]

Good Luck. One of my good friends is a radiologist for the navy. Best of luck to you and your husband. Thank you for your help.

My pleasure. I'm happy to answer any questions you have anytime. And thanks a lot, I appreciate it 🙂

Damn that sucks....You will be sorely missed, your time as president of the CFAWHHADFARAOT was a glorious period in the organization's history.

Congradulations to the the interview invites. when are you guys interviewing to see how far the interview dates have moved.

 

[Question123]

Dumb question, but are a lot of people getting an invite immediately after? I got mine w/in 40 hours which makes me wonder if they even read my application??

Great. I was looking forward to it. I gladly accept the position of the chair of CFAWHHADFARAOT.

Your stat must be out of this world. The office of admissions says everybody gets reviewed by two people before interview offers are sent, so I do not know how true that is and some may review faster than the others.

I don't think it's really related to stats per se. I think it's more tied to which two reviewers get e-mailed your file. If you get 2 busy reviewers it can take a long time to hear back. It doesn't matter though because Duke is non-rolling.

My interview is at the end of October (10/27). I'd be down to share a cab with anyone who is also there that day!

 

[BrainBox]

congratulations to u both. best of luck.

Ha! My stats are definitely not out of this world... 3.4 <35; hence my confusion.. I think it might just be a matter of who reads the application...

Congratualtions. Yes, it is probably who reviews the application. Good luck.

Still working on Duke but it is my last 2ndary finally. Applied to 29 schools. This process is so painful. 😛

 

[trueBelief]

Haha thanks. Good luck with everything, hope you get a Duke acceptance!

Anyone else mid-October?

Hi, Burnsie 🙂

 

[BrainBox]

Congratulations to all that are interviewing!😀

 

[tjquinn]

I just finished my interview (09/23/09) and it was GREAT! The people at Duke are VERY disarming. This was my first interview of the season and I was concerned because, well... this is Duke. However, the interview was extremely conversational. My first interview, with a man named Dr. Whorton, was entirely about my secondary application (no ethical questions unfortunately). My second interview was with a student, and he was a bit more tough (but not ridiculous). Anyway, goodluck everyone!

 

[jla314]

Haha I was kind of worried with how they call the interviews 'alpha' and 'beta' 🙂 sounds... robotic. glad it was a good day! Anyone going to be there this coming Monday?

 

[MrBurns10]

Hi, Burnsie 🙂

Long time no see, FCD! I hope you're enjoying DC.

Is Omega the Dean of Admissions?

 

[floridakmm]

Does anybody know if Duke accepts a fee waiver? And where do I send it to? I just sent it to the address on the admissions page.
Thanks

 

[FemalesCANTDriv]

Long time no see, FCD! I hope you're enjoying DC.

I know it has been a while. DC is great! Lot's of fun to be had, and the NIH is amazing. How are residency apps?

Interview invite this morning, 9/27! Complete 9/3

 

[GDiDDY]

this is shocking/weird/awesome: I submitted my secondary yesterday around 5pm, and today have an interview invite. Did they even read it? My stats don't even warrant an automatic invite (31P, 3.88).

haha i am onto week 10. Looks like our apps landed in the same inbox and got lost in there =p

Ha, what's funny is that it's true - it probably is one single guy holding up both your apps.

I wouldn't even worry if I were you. You've been doing well with your apps so far, so I'm sure you'll get at least an interview. Mine's up in two weeks. Wish me luck.

 

[jla314]

going to duke tomorrow! but right now, i am still sitting in the airport 🙁 delays = 9 hours total now, and i missed my connecting flight. lame.

i will get there...no matter how much the weather gods do not want me to...i will get there.

Good Luck BerlinDude! I am sure you'll do well! I got my fingers crossed for you.

I've been complete since late July, and 5 am this morning got an interview invite! maybe they just want to spread out the invites rather than scheduling them all at once, ya know.

Looks like they heard me! Invite this morning 🙂, 2 am western (we're in the same batch assuming you're on the east coast).

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Congrats to all of the invitees today. You guys deserve it.

Good luck to those interviewing soon! Since Duke is non-rolling, would there be any disadvantage in going later? If not, since I'm doing a lot of flying in the next month already, it would be nice to have more time to prepare.

 

[NotSur]

Anyone else never get a complete email but the online status says something about being in screening?

 

[BrainBox]

Hi All

Just got my rejection. Best of luck to you all and i hope many of you get accepted. Duke is an amazing school and should be on the top of everyones list. Good luck!

 

[robocop1998]

for those who got rejected, did you get email from Duke or was it through status page? I interviewed and got waitlisted at Duke last yr. For this cycle, I was complete in late August and haven't heard anything back from them yet. Definitely want one more shot at this awesome school!!

 

[FluffyRabbit]

Their complete email mentions that they only send emails in cases of interview invites, rejections have to be checked on the status page.

"If you are NOT offered an interview at DukeMed, YOUR STATUS PAGE will reflect that you have not been selected for an interview. You will receive no further correspondence from our office."

Good luck! Some of us have been waiting a long time, so it probably just depends on who reviews your application.

 

[JasonE]

does anyone know if duke lets med student switch/apply into the mdphd program after they matriculate as an MD?

 

[Dr Durden]

does anyone know if duke lets med student switch/apply into the mdphd program after they matriculate as an MD?

Duke encourages it and is very supportive with the transition. The sooner you switch, the sooner the program will start to cover your tuition and expenses.
