OH. YOU THINK YOUR + IS WORTH MORE THAN MINE?!
Also, love the House of Cards quote.
Nothing like quoting Frank Underwood quoting Shakespeare!

i sent them the confirmation email and they approved it within an hourStill waiting for their fee waiver approval.. I bet they're playing a game of figurative chicken. Let's see if he cracks and just pays before we approve it!

A friend of mine got into Duke last cycle and she sent me her essays (mostly out of curiosity to see what Duke likes, obviously I can't taker her stories), but for several prompts she wrote about 250 words, so I am planning to just say what I need to say and not go over 600 words.For the essays how many words on average did you guys write? For some I can only get up to around 400 words before I feel myself writing a bunch of BS.
II!!!!!!!

Doesn't duke send II to everyone who gets verified?
II = interview invite
Did your II come by email/phone call/or on their application website?Complete 7/5 (literally the same day I got the secondary invite)
Stats: 3.3 ugpa, 4.0 postbacc gpa, 517, URM, nontrad

Alright, I put off this monster for too long. What does functional impact mean?
What's your opinion of using an example from my personal statement for the advocacy question. I honestly can't think of another good example 🙁I must have kinda glazed over that portion of the question because I didn't stop to think about what exactly it meant. When I wrote my essay, I basically wrote about what I learned from the experience and how the experience affected my mindset, behaviors, etc.

Did anyone or is anyone submitting a fairly short essay? Most of my are around 500+ words, but for the "humbling experience" one I have pretty much said all I can think to say in just under 300...
One of my essays was less than 300 words. I think if you can get the point across in half the maximum length, you should (and I'm sure the adcoms will appreciate it). Quality is better than quantity.

Congrats on your 5 IIs. Never felt so jealous....
Wow, which schools?
Jealous. I'm still waiting for one.Duke, Jefferson, Unnamed, Gtown, GW

Do you think turning around that fast makes a difference in the decision for giving an II. I really don't think it makes a difference between a day or a week in turning around . I can understand if you took a really long time ..I'm sure you will. It's still pretty early. There are several schools that I haven't even received secondaries from yet, even though I submitted my AMCAS the second day after it was open for submission.
I think the thing that made the biggest difference for me was pre-writing secondaries. It allowed me to have less than a 24 hour turnaround time for secondaries once I received them. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have received such a positive response this early if it wasn't for that.

You maybe right , who knows !I'm not sure exactly how much of a difference it makes to turn in a secondary a week versus a day late. I was just trying to give my best guess on the situation. I'm sure if someone had a really impressive application but turned in their secondary later rather than earlier, that person might still get an earlier interview invite.
+1, pounded this bad boy out last night after plotting my answers with bullet points. Such a beast of a secondary.Finallllly done with Duke's secondaries. This bad boy took forever![]()
