did anyone receive acceptance today??? as of now, i havent heard back from duke yet, not even email. I interviewed in their last week of interview so maybe i won't hear back till the end of the week??? I'm assuming if I dont get the letter in my mailbox after I got home from work today, I am getting a rejection email tomorrow.
 
just got the rejection email, i'm not surprised though. good luck everyone.
 
got WL =(. oh well, it was a long shot anyways. congrats everyone.
 
Rejected 9:55am. I had a fantastic interview with Mr. Wallace -- he said it himself. Guess the interview can only get you so far..
 
Rejected 9:53 am. Yeah interviews only get you so far, I believe. Good luck to all of you! I'll see you all someday on the floor 🙂 !
 
Inverviewed Yesterday 9 am. Rejected today 9:53 Am, a whole 24 hours, wow.

Me too! If they don't say WL in the email, I assume full out rejection. Glad I didn't spend $ to fly there now
 
Rejected also at 9:53am. Congrats to everyone who got accepted / waitlisted! Wasted some $250 to fly there and $100 on hotel...

Yeah, my faculty interview went pretty terribly. It was my first. But i'm sure it was my numbers that really did me in.
 
Waitlisted. Is there really no way we can find out our place on the waitlist? The email says not to call them about it, but I wonder if that is just to deter a giant storm of calls today? I would really like to go to Duke, but I am getting really sick of waiting so I would rather only stay on the waitlist if there is a reasonable possibility...
 
man. rejected. 🙁 i guess this means my interview collapsed. this is like the saddest news in the world for me
 
Seems like last year more people got the WL email and less people got the rejection email........maybe they decided to WL less people this year?

This process is killing me.
 
Yikes, rejected. Guess I can't be stunned.. I doubt I made it past the interview cut-off. Legitimately bombed one of them, but I thought with all the people posting how they thought they bombed, I might have an outside chance. Didn't feel like Duke was a good fit anyhow, but it'd be nice to get something other than straight rejections since the new year. I'm starting to worry I'll get my acceptances rescinded if those schools find out how my cycle's been going lately and realize "What the heck were we thinking?" I really do feel lucky I got one early.
 
Waitlist for me in the Pacific Northwest, I received the email at 6:15am this morning. Interviewed in the beginning of February. What do you all thing our chances of getting in from the waitlist pool are? Is there any way that we can find out what our rankings are?

I meant more my cGPA, but my MCAT is certainly lower than most/all of the people accepted so far that have their stats posted in mdapps. But I really did BOMB my faculty interview 🙂
 
is there anyone else who hasnt heard back???? i hate being in a limbo!

Methinks if you interviewed before Feb and have not heard anything by this time then you were prolly accepted foo.:laugh: You're in good hands buddy. Wait for that mail man. I'm very excited! Not my top choice but we will see what happens when I finally decide.
 
Waitlisted. Here's hoping some of you that are accepted get into a different top choice so we get some waitlist movement 😉

Congrats to everyone that was accepted!

i interviewed on 2/15, which was their last on-campus interview week. i dont think the time frame matters anymore. Someone posted he/she got rejected today and his/her interview was yesterday! i cant wait to get of work today so i can check my mailbox. i got waitlisted by Duke last yr so i really wanna make it thru this time.
 
Got the waitlist email at 6:15 this morning. Does anyone know if it is ranked at some point?
 
Does anyone know how they feel about letters of interest from people on the waitlist? Some schools pretty much require them if you want to be accepted off the waitlist (e.g. Georgetown, Wake Forest), but Duke doesn't seem to care so much about our interest in the school. Is our position on the waitlist pretty much fixed and unchangeable at this point?
 
hey um for those of you guys who are waitlisted, what does the text of the email say? i'm pretty sure i got rejected but i wanted to check.
 
Waitlisted... regional interview on 2/2, visited Duke on 2/10.

I really hope to get in to Duke. I think I've only gotten more and more excited about it as time passes.

Congratulations to those of you that got in, I hope you all make the most of the opportunity.

Condolences to those of you that received a rejection, I hope you find a good fit elsewhere and make the most of that opportunity.

May we all contribute to humane medicine.😍

it's very clear it's a waitlist spot. here is the first paragraph:

.The Faculty Committee on Admissions has completed interviewing and evaluating all of our candidates for admission to the 2010 entering class. You have been assigned a place on our wait list. We were enormously impressed with your scholarly achievements and experiences both of which demonstrate your potential as a future physician. Therefore, we sincerely hope you will accept this position..

(and on that note congrats to everyone who got in, good luck to everyone on the waitlist! i will now leave this thread)

seems like WL and reject emails went out en masse. If you didn't get one, it likely means your acceptance packet will arrive today
 
Waitlisted. Does anyone know how Duke feels about update letters/additional recommendations?
 
Rejected, haha. In a way I'm glad it's not a waitlist because Duke's curriculum has been really hard for me to gauge if I like it or not. Good luck to everyone on the waitlist, and congrats to those accepted!

A while ago, I spoke to R. Wallace and he told me that they like update letters from people on waitlist. I didn't ask about additional letters of rec but someone singing your praises can't hurt yea?
 
Waitlisted this morning at 9:22am. Didn't expect acceptance, so this is pretty much the best news to receive 😎.

Only thing that sucks is further waiting. 🙁

do you think they sent ALL the WL and rejections today tho? I d like to hope to be accepted...so far no email, no mail and I live in PA...someone has already been accepted in PA...keeping faith and trying not to give up hope...
 
ah damn rejected. kinda sucks.

this process is so weird. just looking at the mdapps of some of the accepted ppl. ive gotten interviews at many of the places those ppl were rejected. not that they dont deserve it, but i dont see how these decisions are made
