waitlisted...which according to previous years has no hope =(
 
Has anyone else not heard anything at all from Duke? Maybe they are slowly sending out all the gentlemanly rejections....?
 
I got waitlisted as well, at 8:17 am. So, based on last year's Duke thread, you say there's a small chance we may be accepted, haha?

Radio silence for me, but (without saying too much) considering what I did on my MMI, I'm pretty sure it'll be a waitlist/rejection. 😛 Maybe they're about to tell me how much I got rejected! Ha!
 
and the expected rejection arrives! good luck to everyone who got in!
 
I got the gentlemanly rejection as well. Seems a little cruel as this was my only interview and now I have a small amount of hope still floating around in my head.
 
spoke too soon! rejection has arrived. good luck everyone!
 
Rejected as well. Out of my six interviews, I honestly thought this one went the best. I guess it shows how bad I am at predicting my interview performances.

Although Duke was my top choice, I do feel extremely fortunate to even be going to medical school next year. Best of luck to all on the wait list and I sincerely congratulate everyone accepted!
 
Just curious: to those that have said they've been "rejected," you mean rejected, not waitlisted?

Yup. Arrived for me too, and totally expected. I expected it as soon as my interviews were complete. I'm not too broken up about it though, because I've already gotten into the school for which I feel I am the best fit. 👍 Best of luck to everyone, accepted and rejected. 🙂
 
Rejection for me as well. Looks like I'll be staying on the west coast!
 
Anyone know the numbers for how many people are waitlisted?
 
Anyone else that got wait listed still waiting on an acceptance?
 
Rejected too. I don't know why but I actually feel better now...
 
Do you know how many were waitlisted last year and how many got off the waitlist?
 
I don't know how many people were wait listed, but I know for a fact that they did not touch the wait list last year, and that is from Mr. Wallace.
 
When I interviewed we were told that about ~110 got of the wait list last two years.

Really? Those number seem quite high considering how small the class is. I thought Duke traditionally has had very little/no waitlist movement. Anywayyyy, I just confirmed my withdrawal from the waitlist with RW. Good luck to those waitlisted and congrats to those accepted!
 
Rejected this morning 🙁

This is what i get for hoping, lol.
 
So I'm anxious for the second look info to be mailed... today is the last day "within the next two days."
 
Has anyone not heard anything from Duke? Should we be expecting notice to come via email?
 
Do you think the virtual interviewees still have to hear back?

Can't be QUITE right--last year I turned down Duke's offer after hearing from my top choice, significantly after waitlist letters had gone out. Chances are there will be some movement around the May 15th deadline as people make their final selections. Good luck to those waiting!
 
waitlisted as well and really hoping for some movement, as unlikely as that may be. i loved duke; definitely my top choice still

Well, does Duke overaccept (in other words, accept 185 applicants for 100 something seats), or does it rely on its waitlist when an applicant rejects (accept 100 applicants for 100 seats, pulls from waitlist when any accepted applicant rejects Duke)?
 
They over accept. They then pull from the waitlist only if they guessed wrong about their ratio of acceptances to matriculations.

Does anyone know about the laptop situation at Duke? Is there a preferred one that students are encouraged to buy?

When I was visiting my friend he implied they get them through the school and that they now suggest MacBook pros.
 
They give you the option of operating systems and get them for you! Its part of the $2000 technology fee that they charge. I am not sure exactly what type of mac/pc it is though.

Hey, I also did a virtual interview and heard back last Monday.

I hope that you get some good news soon!!!
