what kind of update did you send if you don't mind me asking? i'm thinking about sending a Pre-II letter of interest since i've been complete for a little while
congrats! did you email your update or just upload via portal?
m?I submitted a pretty significant update letter with new clinical trials I had been working on, a new research poster/presentation, involvement in CME activities, and grades in summer courses. I also concluded with a little blurb about still being interested in the school and hoping to hear from them. Kept it all to one page and submitted on the portal.
I think they change the portal once all of the interview spots are filled, but they don’t send an email notification.Does Duke send out pre-II rejections, or is it an assumed rejection if you don't get an II? Also, is it too late to send a pre-II letter of interest?
I also submitted around there on 9/27 and I’m waiting tooI submitted around 9/20 and am figuring out when I would receive an II. Anyone who completed around the same time received II already?
wondering the samehas anyone heard back from Duke’s MSTP?
wondering the same
That is also what I rememberWe were supposed to hear back this week right? I was pretty sure they said that
do you mind sharing your stats ?Got II yesterday, completed in mid-July
So my boyfriend and I are both applying to Duke, him to Chemistry grad school and me to Duke MD. He was just accepted there, and I have yet to hear anything, II or otherwise. Is it appropriate to send a pre-II letter of interest with that information, as Duke is both of our top choices? We want to go to the same school, so if I don't get into Duke he will not go either. I just want to give us the best possible chance of both attending our dream school!

I disagree with Orochimaru (btw dope name). We are all human beings, including those in admissions, so this is a valid point and a fair reason for choosing a certain school. That said, I am not certain if it will help. Considering you have not been chosen to interview, I feel like only a significant update would make if, at all, any difference. I think there is no harm in trying tho. Best of luck with everything! I hope it works out for both of you
did anyone send fall grades post-interview? I don't think you can upload to portal after your file is closed post-interview
When were you complete?II today. They called me and asked if I wanted it so I imagine they're toward the end or filling in cancellations
Late July, LM 76When were you complete?
Was there only one date to select from? (1/28)?Late July, LM 76

First week of september, LM77, IS. Hopefully more of these calls are coming our way!Congrats! Do you mind sharing when you were complete?

I think Thursdays this month were available.Congrats! Were the same dates available?
Including the 24th? (Sorry for so many questions! Just trying to see if they will still be calling people next week.)I think Thursdays this month were available.
Yep, it was. Best of luck homieIncluding the 24th? (Sorry for so many questions! Just trying to see if they will still be calling people next week.)
Does this mean that they have made all the calls needed to fill slots and will now only call if someone withdraws? Best of luck to you too!I received word from the admissions office that the interview spots are filled for this cycle meaning even if time slots are still available, they have already selected the potential candidates. They will call applicants for an II if someone withdrew from their interview spot. That was sad news to hear as this is probably a dream school for a lot of us. I'm still waiting on a response for an II. Best of luck to those waiting too!
Secondary completed Late Sep/Early Oct.
She told me they are "done" with granting interview spots unless somebody withdraws from their interview, which in this case, she says will be your chance of getting an interview.
For some reason, I question it though because they say your application gets two unique reads, which must means that they have a "waitlist" for interview spots that they call next, but it makes sense since they only interview 700-750 candidates.
Thanks! But what are you questioning? Whether all interview spots have been extended?I question it because would it be necessary to read through the rest of the application pool if you already have a set of candidates that you want to interview or at least potentially interview?
Oh and to add one more thing to my questioning: I asked if it is necessary to send any updates at this point if you have not heard anything for an interview. She said it does not hurt, but when you do, send the admissions an e-mail notifying you updated your application to get confirmation from the school and to let them know.
Oh sorry I should have been clearer! My fault! Pretty much I am wondering does every applicant truly get two unique reads or is it more of a first come first serve basis like many other medical schools.
