Has anyone on the waitlist heard back?

Nothing for me yet ...

 

[noflag]

Any movement today?

 

[Okazaki Frag Grenade]

It's going to be a long summer

 

[Okazaki Frag Grenade]

Seems weird that nobody on here has heard anything yet. In previous years they seemed to be quick with the waitlist acceptances

 

[nugang]

A boatload of overlap, no WL acceptances, yet. A surprising number of withdrawals, though.

This is what Gyngyn said in another thread. Hoping that a surprising # of withdrawals indicates decent WL movement this year!

Interesting. Was this in reference to Duke specifically or just schools in general?

As an ADCom he has access to the info regarding withdrawals and WL movement for schools that overlap applicants with is schools. Theres a waitlist thread where he's giving info regarding movement he's seeing at schools

Ah I'm getting my hopes up now, which is dangerous of course

Anyone try contacting admissions regarding the WL situation?

I haven't. I know they expect questions but I always fear I'm going to annoy them

Still nothing. I tried to call in and ask but never did get an answer, just voicemail.

 

[Okazaki Frag Grenade]

Called in and was told no waitlist movement as of yet, maybe later this summer. Good yield for Duke this year it seems. Womp womp.

 

[nugang]

Anyone call recently and find out if they expect movement at all?

 

[1ns0mn1a]

Anyone?

 

[bentonj002]

Does anyone know if we have to take a drug test before we matriculate?

Any current students have insight to if Duke is receptive to letters of interest? Does it make a difference

I'd say it might be better to wait till decisions come out and go from there since they are only about 4 weeks from releasing all decisions
