Well, it's not like I wanted to sleep well last night.
I'm just basing my conclusion off the above posts and the fact I haven't received a call. It is possible that whoever spoke to @skinniminni was only referring to non-PCLT applicants. I tried to call just now and didn't get through. I guess we'll find out soon enough! (unless someone knows otherwise)
Thanks! Do you have any information about admit weekend? Was hoping to book my flight soon, and just wanted to confirm dates.I saw a huge stack of letters getting ready to be sent out today, so I expect everyone will find out soon. Congrats to those who have been accepted. I'll do my best to help if you have any questions/concerns/etc.!
At least we'll know for sure in 24 hours! Thanks for passing on this information. If you do hear back either way, I'd love to know if I can move on with my life or keep staring at my phone lol. So much fun!So Andrea from the admissions office called me back. She said she's not sure all the PCLT calls have gone out but will follow up with the director. She said I (maybe all of us as a group?) should hear in 24 hours, which I fear for now.... But she was really nice to call me back after getting my missed call!
Not everyone who is accepted decides to matriculate. Schools usually accept more students than they plan on having attend.can anyone confirm the claim that duke took 0 applicants off the wait list last year? I thought I saw somewhere they accepted 200ish applicants, which is more than their class size and indicates there was WL movement.

I also have a friend who got off the waitlist last year!
A current student mentioned that although no one came off the wait list last year, tons of people came off the year before- so it varies greatly year to year

Just got off the phone with admissions. All of the acceptances have been offered. They sent out the letters in the mail yesterday, so we'll be getting a letter about waitlists/rejections by the end of the week. If not they'll email us.
Not sure why they couldn't just update the portal with WLs/rejections. I think calling everyone who got accepted and then waiting a full week to tell the rest of the applicants their decision is cruel and unusual. Honestly, what is the point of that?
Well... I had completely given up hope. Just got an acceptance call about 45 min ago.
Congrats! Can I ask if you're Pclt?!Well... I had completely given up hope. Just got an acceptance call about 45 min ago.

what the what!! congrats!!!!Well... I had completely given up hope. Just got an acceptance call about 45 min ago.
I called the admissions office and they said the same thing, that all acceptances had been given out so the faulty info is not on our endi now trust nothing anyone says in this thread
It's 2015 all over againWell... I had completely given up hope. Just got an acceptance call about 45 min ago.
You shouldn't be so critical. It's not like Duke accepts students into their program every year. Plus, to coordinate something of this magnitude you'd probably need an entire office dedicated to the task...like an "office of admitting affairs" or something....who know's what you'd even call it. /sUnbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.
EDIT: Congratulations to all of you of course. But really. Two years in a row??

Honestly, if we weren't on sdn, we'd be none the wiser of their inefficient acceptance protocols. We'd just hear back sometime during the first week of March, like they told us we would.You shouldn't be so critical. It's not like Duke accepts students into their program every year.

Except this process is literally the opposite of what they said. This is a screengrab of the secondary application portal:Honestly, if we weren't on sdn, we'd be none the wiser of their inefficient acceptance protocols.

So consensus is that WLs are coming out today?
"They don't call the waitlisted guy doctor" says the voice in my head 🙁Hope so. And to everyone who ends up getting waitlisted, that is still a HUGE accomplishment (telling myself this too ha). Seriously though, it's a testament to the work we've all done.
They don't call the accepted student "Doctor" either. All of us are still years of hard work away from that. And if you made it this far in Duke's process there is no doubt that you have what it takes to get in!"They don't call the waitlisted guy doctor" says the voice in my head 🙁

Granted yes, I agree, and I'm not trying to be "that guy"... It's just more heartbreaking because though everyone keeps saying things like this, I'm still not holding any acceptances. This was in a lot of ways make or break for me, and I'm not holding out much hope for my last few decisions.They don't call the accepted student "Doctor" either.

Surely your other decisions give you better chances than 200:750...?Granted yes, I agree, and I'm not trying to be "that guy"...

Is there a Facebook group or something for accepted students? Anyone has received the official letter yet?
No, haven't received the official letter yet either. The person who called me said it would be mailed out and should be arriving in a few daysIs there a Facebook group or something for accepted students? Anyone has received the official letter yet?
