You don't need to give us a name, I'm personally just wondering if it was admissions staff vs. an MMI interviewer.

Darn.....makes me feel like the longer I don't get the call the less likely I am to be accepted 🙁

SDN might be a small sample size...
I'm basing it off of the frequency of last years acceptance posts. I'm assuming (although perhaps incorrectly) that SDN has only increased in sample size.
But you're right! SDN is a small sample size overall. I'm just doing my best to stay positive/not throw up/maybe help others think positively.

oh well, the wait continues...

someone on admissions committee
when did you interview?
when did you interview?So here I am plucking away at my computer at work, when I get ready to take a break and check my phone and see a missed call from a mysterious number that is apparently from Durham, North Carolina. I call back to hear a distinctly Upper Midwestern voice deliver some very, very good news tailored a little bit to convince me to move to the nice, warm South. I very much appreciate the extra effort Duke and still don't really believe it.
when did you interview?
Early November
@Scribblers Are you PCLT?

I keep thinking they will call or write when they have something to say. That works for nearly an hour at a crack right now.
I'd think SDN is sample biased to accepted students compared to most any generally visible collection.
Nope, you're fine. I personally find it reassuring that other people feel the same way. Stay positive though, man! (Assuming male gender from the "Dude")
Mm, that warm feeling of being kept in the dark.
Hi guys! Long-time lurker here, accepted via phone call yesterday afternoon by Dr. Yee. Does anyone know if Duke offers any merit based scholarships? I'd absolutely love to go here but it's hard to justify the cost when I've gotten significant merit aid at another great school. I'm just wondering if I have a shot at some scholarship $$$ or if it's hopeless 🙁
Congrats!!
I think they offer ~10 full ride merits.
when did you interview?
The amount of times I have refreshed this page is insanely unhealthy...
beat me to it!
ha ha ha! I just assumed it was a reply

great minds think alike
You're a glass half full kinda guy/girl. I like that.
Hopefully these great minds will hear some good news soon!
Silly cousin, why you call me?
I think they probably called everyone. I know it doesn't seem like many people on SDN were accepted but they have such a small class it could have worked out though. I think they will probably have waitlists out soon. That will be when we know they've stopped for sure.
Someone just call the office and ask.
I feel way too disappointed to do so.

I did it yesterday 🙂 I vote someone else does it!
last years thread it did seem like some people got calls and some people got emails...
How many acceptances go out total at duke?
From the CCLCM thread, 3/16 people got accepted last month... so n = 1 means about 20% acceptances would be seen on SDN.
