Did anyone who interviewed during their last week of interviews get an A?
I interviewed on the last day (2/11) and got wlDid anyone who interviewed during their last week of interviews get an A?
MSAR says about 20 applicants receive A’s from the waitlist. The waitlist is also listed as being about 100-125 people.Does anyone have MSAR and can access Duke's waitlist data? Trying to see what the chances are here
I can’t remember which date was their last week of interviews. But I interviewed 2/4, which was one of their last interview dates, and received an A.Did anyone who interviewed during their last week of interviews get an A?
+1WL. Do we have to accept our waitlist position or only email back if we don't want to take it?
As someone who was waitlisted here last year, I do not remember exactly, but I do remember that the instructions on the secondary portal were clear so I would check there.WL. Do we have to accept our waitlist position or only email back if we don't want to take it?
Yeah, Duke requires the beast CSS profile. You need yours and your parents W-2s and tax returns for 2019.Congrats to everyone accepted! Do we need to do anything for financial aid other than the FAFSA?
When would we need to submit the CSS profile by? I don't remember seeing anything about this in the acceptance email or anything mentioning how we hold our acceptance other than the $100 deposit due by April 30th.Yeah, Duke requires the beast CSS profile.

April 1st 🙂When would we need to submit the CSS profile by? I don't remember seeing anything about this in the acceptance email or anything mentioning how we hold our acceptance other than the $100 deposit due by April 30th.
I know it’s hard but rejection from a school doesn’t dictate your worth, intelligence, or future! All of us have faced rejection this past year (yes some more than others) but we are all here to support each other! You got it and you have just as much potential to be everything you want to be ❤️R this morning. I got yelled at and cut off multiple times by one of my interviewers. I thought it was a stress test but I guess they genuinely hated me. Congrats to everyone that got the A!
Hey hey don't worry!! It was a stress test almost certainly -- they definitely don't hate you and they reject like half the people who interview -- this did not come down to you as a person or who you are. The process is chaotic and it hurts a ton, but I assure you it doesn't define your worth or really anything about you at all, and I really mean that genuinely. This cycle is especially tough for some reason, maybe it's the increase in applicants, not really sure. I know how you feel though, so feel free to DM me if you need anything.R this morning.

I was told that there is usually FB page that is dead and usually a group chat but Idk if they like the group chat was made by admitted students themselves or not. I assume we will hear more once the FB page is created (unless it already is hahah)Does anyone know if they make an admitted students facebook group or something along those lines to get more info about housing and things like that
No instructions/ changes on my portal. Any other WL people see changes to their portal or know if we have to email andrea back to accept the spot?As someone who was waitlisted here last year, I do not remember exactly, but I do remember that the instructions on the secondary portal were clear so I would check there.
The email only seems to imply to email back if you don't want to accept the WL spotNo instructions/ changes on my portal. Any other WL people see changes to their portal or know if we have to email andrea back to accept the spot?
I wrote this previous post as a joke, but not only did I get the R March 1st post-therapy, I also got a call from an out-of-area number this morning and they asked for me, which I answered very enthusiastically thinking it might be Duke. It was not. They were calling to inform me that my grandpa had died. About 20 minutes later I got the R from Duke. Two hours later a blizzard hit while I was driving and I totaled my car. I’m just saying if adcoms had sent out decisions when they said they would and stuck to their word, today would have been at least a little easier.i specifically scheduled a therapy appointment at the end of feb assuming they would reject me by then so if they come at me with the R on march 1st i’m gonna be tight
I am so incredibly sorry to hear that. My condolences for your grandpa. I can’t imagine having the disappointment of decisions (as someone who also didn’t get in) being compounded by tragedy and other unfortunate circumstances. Thoughts and prayers are with you ❤️I’m just saying if adcoms had sent out decisions when they said they would and stuck to their word, today would have been at least a little easier.
Thank you ♥️I know this isn’t the place to complain about my personal life, I just think that adcoms are way too nonchalant with the promptness of their responses and how it affects their applicants.I am so incredibly sorry to hear that. My condolences for your grandpa. I can’t imagine having the disappointment of decisions (as someone who also didn’t get in) being compounded by tragedy and other unfortunate circumstances.

I’m sorry to hear about your grandpa. I agree adcoms should be more considerate of applicants in giving responses. I hope better things come your way very soon.I wrote this previous post as a joke, but not only did I get the R March 1st post-therapy, I also got a call from an out-of-area number this morning and they asked for me, which I answered very enthusiastically thinking it might be Duke.

I’m so incredibly sorry. I agree that adcoms should have kept their word and sent decisions (A, WL, or R) rather than leave everyone in limbo until today. I wish for nothing but immensely good fortune on you, your family, and your future endeavors, and I send you my condolences. ❤️I wrote this previous post as a joke, but not only did I get the R March 1st post-therapy, I also got a call from an out-of-area number this morning and they asked for me, which I answered very enthusiastically thinking it might be Duke.

I was told that the group chat was student created. So if anyone wants to create a groupme we could do that and then share it in the FB page when we get invited to it by Duke Med
Also I decided to just make one so if anyone wants to join here’s the link!!I was told that the group chat was student created. So if anyone wants to create a groupme we could do that and then share it in the FB page when we get invited to it by Duke Med
Yeah it’s overAre all interviews done. No Pre-II yet. Complete since Aug. Twiddling and anxious.
Have you logged into your portal to check the status at the top?Are all interviews done. No Pre-II yet. Complete since Aug. Twiddling and anxious.
I went to Duke, and currently live in Durham. Mostly it's overhyped. It's a city, so the normal caveats of being careful apply, but I've never felt unsafe here. Duke has a van service that you can call if you need to get back to your apartment late at night. Any metropolitan area is going to have the same if not more "safety issues."I'm super happy to have been accepted here! However, I'm very unfamiliar with Durham and have read a bit about safety issues in the area surrounding Duke. Can anyone who is more familiar with the area speak to this?
Yeah that's right, I emailed admissions and they said just AAMC CYMS and the $100 deposit by April 30th.So.. we don't have to do anything to accept the acceptance, yes? I've read through everything like 3 times but it's just so odd to me, I was hoping someone could confirm? Like nothing until the april 15/30th AAMC stuff?
I'm also wondering if people could speak to life in Durham - things to do, quality of life, etc. Thanks!!I'm super happy to have been accepted here!
