Has anyone on the waitlist heard back?
Nothing for me yet ...

It's going to be a long summer
Seems weird that nobody on here has heard anything yet. In previous years they seemed to be quick with the waitlist acceptances
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?

I thought gyngyn was at a Cali school
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
Duke specifically
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
has anyone heard anything re: waitlists here??? this wait is a killer
Still nothing. I tried to call in and ask but never did get an answer, just voicemail.

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.




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