II earlier this afternoon! Never saw this one coming since I added Duke on late. I am incredibly pumped.

Thanks Cambover! My interview is actually later this week, so I ended up getting a hotel instead (just to be safe). Regardless, thanks for getting back to me!We just got the ball rolling at this end and you should be able to request a host. Not sure if you have to call or they email you about it.
I could be wrong, but I believe their first day of interviews was today; I interview there very soon, and I'll definitely post a little thing on my mdapps about it. Also feel free to PM me at the end of the week about it!If anyone has interviewed on here, how was it? I have mine in six days, and I'm somewhat intimidated. It doesn't help that this is the first MMI-type that I have had.

Both the associate dean and associate director of admissions here are absolutely incredible people. Even if I get a harsh rejection from here, at least I had the awe-inspiring opportunity to meet with these two individuals.
EDIT: What I'm trying to say here is: get really excited about interview day. Even if you hate MMI's, or even if they go terribly, you will still get to meet the admissions faculty. Their "speeches" make the taxing secondary completely worth it.
They said it would be attached in an email, I believe.@wolverine2015grad and @Scarlett218 I totally agree! Btw the Duke people mentioned an exit survey that we need to complete before the application process can move forward. Do either of you know where to access it?
Sounds like a plan!They said it would be attached in an email, I believe.
Wolverine's protocol: If I don't receive the email tonight or tomorrow, then I'll check my portal online. If it doesn't show up anywhere by Monday, then I'll come to SDN. If others on SDN have got it, then I'll call the admissions office.
Don't sell yourself out! The way I believe most schools extend II's (someone feel free to correct me if this is way off base) is they do an initial screen of applicants, and they send II's to the people they really want. After that, they re-review the completed applications that were good, but not jaw-dropping, and pick and choose some of those people to extend II's to.Complete Aug 6th, should I just wait for the rejection? It seems people who were completed after me have gotten IIs.

Until Duke formally rejects you, there's always a real chance of an II! 🙂
I'll just wait for rejections...if it turns out that Duke indeed reciprocates my love. Then..............then.................then.........................Fireworks, Dancedancedance! and Happy ever-after!Don't sell yourself out!

I think you just fused "sell yourself short" and "count yourself out" haha.Don't sell yourself out!
Whoops!I think you just fused "sell yourself short" and "count yourself out" haha.

I think I watched one of their speeches on youtube for PS inspiration. he was talking about how important the personal aspects are [great speech, but still made me wonder when I had classmates w/ poor social skills but great numbers get into duke. idk]Both the associate dean and associate director of admissions here are absolutely incredible people.

Uber for a single person is about $26Is anyone else here interviewing on October 30th? I'm interested in splitting rental car costs since $40/person for the shuttle each way seems absurd.

Sent II in on Sept. 7th. Status says: Application Screening - Your supplemental application has been completed. Your application is now being reviewed by a set of independent screeners on our admissions committee. Anybody just get an interview? What date did you send your II in?

haha, my first post and I already made myself sound silly. whoops! Thanks guys!
No it's pretty counter intuitive! I think people keep using it for that reason. Good luck though! Hopefully you'll hear back in the next few weeks but be sure to check your online status they have changed statuses before sending emails in previous cycles.
Not silly. . . just worried, like all the rest of us!! 🙂haha, my first post and I already made myself sound silly. whoops! Thanks guys!
It was really easy when I was there. There were about 3 UberX drivers just hanging at or near the airportIs it easy enough to get an Uber from the airport ? (And I guess to the airport as well)

Interviewed on Monday and it was fantastic. If anyone has any questions about interview day, feel free to message me. Good luck to everyone!

Since Duke does non-rolling admissions, is there any real benefit to interviewing earlier than later?
I'm interested in knowing as well! Any answers?anybody know if duke is receptive to update letters pre-interview? i have some pretty big updates (publication, and a few others). thanks!
Congrats blue guy! May I ask when were you complete?II received yesterday, I had the choice of four days (one Thursday, three Mondays): November 20, December 1, 8, and 15
