Just called addmission office, the lady told that they would start to send out package in the beginning of the week March 7 th. Today they didn't send out anything yet. So, be paitent. THey probably gradually send them out.
 
So I have a friend at Duke med, and he talked to the office and said they were definitely sent out today. Deep breathing everyone

Soooo maybe the admissions office didn't specifiy to qsue whether or not letters were sent out today? I don't like conflicting info. But I do like people trying to get what they can. Thanks for the efforts!

Scandal. Only one of you can be right. I say a battle-royale death-match is in order.

Someone has to keep us entertained 🙂 I for one am over-caffeinated and would be going crazy over here without some laughs.
 
I will check back in with my friend to see if he knows anything from today. The admin office might be more candid with students than crazed applicants.

You crack me up :laugh: I think your post established the fact that you have way too much personality for Duke to turn you down. I hope that if I get accepted, you're accepted also so we can hang out.
 
So I'm officially terrified to check my email anymore. I usually wake up, check email and then check again after lunch but I don't wanna do either 😛 If only Duke emailed everyone, I wouldn't be so terrified but I *really* don't want to see an email from Duke SOM.


That being said, I had a really horrible dream (nightmare) bout not getting in last night 😛 In said dream, the Adcom actually said that I should never become a doctor. Oy vey subconscious, oy vey....
 
So its morning. Checking in. No evil email. And i didn't check my mail yet because it doesn't come till afternoon anyways. Any news guys?

none here. live in FL, mail comes in the afternoon. tomorrow will be the day for the lucky east coasters if letters were sent yesterday.

no delusions for me. Just the same, Schrodinger's cat says keep checking.
 
Im in NJ. My spider sense tells me if theres good news it ll prob be 2mrw too, and bad news possibly thursday because they usually wait a bit to send emails
 
I heard from a current 2nd year student that Dr. Armstrong and Mr. Wallace are sitting in the admissions office with a bowl of popcorn reading this thread and laughing hysterically like hyenas with their index fingers poised over the "Send" button to release all the emails. The mailman has the bag of acceptance letters, but they have him chained up so he can't mail them out yet.

Rough stuff down South!

Lol. Another fun story is they decided to make april fools come a couple of week early and extend it for a week. Then they went on spring break. And shall send all decisions next week.

I live four hours away and nothing came in the mail today. I know a couple of ppl who also interviewed and live nearby who haven't received anything either. Last year it seems that acceptances were mailed out on Friday and most people heard on Monday/Tuesday. If they were mailed out yesterday, I would expect most ppl to hear by tomorrow as snail mail usually takes about 2 days or so. Good luck to all!
 
So, I lose battle royal. My friend got back to me, saying that he had accidentally lied to me. Apparently stuff is going out Thursday. Maybe take this with a grain of salt, who knows what games are being played. 😱:scared::xf::xf::xf::xf::xf:

Thanks for the update! That sounds like it is at least consistent with what someone else was told on the phone (sending things out this week). And similar to what has happened in years past. Bank on early next week then I suppose.
 
ARGH! My heart honestly cant take a week of anxiety like this. I think i'm going to have an aortic aneurysm. I realize they said they would begin releasing decisions beginning the week of March 7...but it seems like they're really stretching this out.

Oh well. I guess we'll find out sometime between now and August....

I feel you...I really do... but just try to fill your life with things that make you laugh for the next week or so and hopefully much of this will work itself out by then. That's what I'm going to try to do.

Are there any sympathetic Duke students willing to hold Mr. Wallace's stuffed bear hostage until all notices are sent out?
 
Has anyone received an acceptance letter/email from Duke yet?
 
OMG I unknowingly checked another thread which had a post from someone who got rejected and so I really excited thinking the rejection email went out...then I realized it wasn't the Duke thread. Fail.

Dang. I had my money on you, Swimerbear. I was hoping that qsue was bluffing. Thanks for your detective work though. I'm fairly sure my rejection email will come sometime soon. I don't know why I'm so anxious for it to get here anyway. I think I will just tell myself that my decision is coming in April so that I can be pleasantly surprised or swiftly disappointed when it comes far quicker.

There goes the worry-free weekend.... 🙁

More time for compulsively checking my email...
 
I bet this will pan out like last year, where acceptances went out, and then they delayed sending WL/rejections until the following weekish.

Thanks for updating us. Really, I appreciate it. Now Im not gonna think about Duke till next week. Or at least I'll try not to

Perhaps this year they are trying to send out all decisions at once, and not stagger it like last year where some people did not hear back till about 2 weeks after others. Oh well :xf: and praying
 
I was thinking about making a countdown until we get our decisions. But then I realized no one has a clue about when they are going out. womp womp.

😕
