2014-2015 Duke University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I feel like the Assassin's Creed maxim kinda describes perfectly the guiding philosophy of the adcoms right now.

+1. any idea when they start taking people from the waitlist? is there no mobility until april 30?
 
Yup. No WL email......definitely rejected. They wouldn't have sent out WL emails before accepting everyone. Been interesting. Congrats to everyone who got accepted and best of luck to those of you who got WL emails. DaMedDude is signing off.....never coming to this forum again haha. At least it's over...
 
To whomever is reading this . You guys are wonderful people and will make amazing physicians. I can tell that, just from my interactions with you on this forum.

And if you haven't been accepted to any medical school- NEVER LOSE HOPE. I'm a reapplicant, and though I've been accepted this cycle, I fully remember how horrible it was last year. But if you do want to serve as a physician, you will find a way. I believe in you
 
This might be asking for too much detail, but anyone want to comment on scores for those accepted or waitlisted? I haven't heard anything either way, but forgot to update my address information on my portal. I'm trying to get an idea of my most likely fate
 
huh. could kind of fall either way then. I pretty much have the same stats .... my anxiety is at an all time high since I started looking at this thread
 
I am excited for anyone who thinks they are getting rejected, then ends up getting an acceptance in the mail.

I really hope it happens.

I doubt there's a meaningful trend. LizzyM of 81 and change here and waitlisted.
 
+1 LizzyM 79. I'm still pretty sure we got rejected.

+1. LizzyM > 80, interviewed in early October. I'm guessing that I screwed up the MMI more than I thought... I felt ok about it afterwards, but I do remember bombing one station. Ah well, congrats to everyone else!!
 
So I just called and apparently your portal would be updated if you were accepted. Can anyone who has been accepted confirm that?
 
For me mail doesn't come around 3 and its 12:20. I guess if I see something in the mail then I know I am in......but I think everyone on here who has been accepted through mail received a phone call too. I think there is no hope. I know that I said I'd leave but I just can't. I hate to say that I can't wait to just get my rejection letter and no 100% that it is over. Right now I am only 99% sure.

Edit: Maybe not....scratch that ^^^^^. So there is still a smidgen of hope. I have really good stats and decent ECs and the interview went great. Can't believe I wouldn't even get a WL position

+1 LizzyM 79, Interviewed in September as well. New conspiracy theory: Duke hates the #79. Haven't heard back yet either. Honestly at least we aren't on the waitlist. A YES/NO is more helpful than a maybe.
