They look at the MCAT...their median is 519 , bottom 10% is 511...
Eh, WashU, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, and Pritzker are ranked lower and have a higher median. The bottom 10% of JHU and NYU is a 518. Sure, they care about stats. But it’s more like UCSF/Harvard/Stanford where a lower than excellent MCAT won’t keep you out. Seems like they value research and diversity.

All of these schools have a higher median than Duke's 519 (521, 521, 520, 521, respectively). Duke's 25th percentile is a 515 which is the ~10th or lower for most of the aforementioned schools.
My bad, I miswrote that first sentence. I corrected it. Thank you.

Just sharing what I read earlier in this thread! They may look at MCAT after the interview or what was shared earlier could be wrong and they may look at MCAT prior to sending IIs. There's no telling, just a thought that may explain their lower median MCAT for such a highly ranked school.

How is 519 low median MCAT ?

Can anyone who interviewed today for Duke DM me? I was trying to remember all the interviewers' names for a thank you letter, but I'm missing a couple 🙁 thanks!

Interviewed last week and at the end of the session one of the members of the office of admissions mentioned that update letters could be sent two to three weeks after the interview. However, on the website, it says that update letters are only acceptable one week after. Did anyone else who interviewed hear similar news or know what the correct deadline is?
I sent mine in a few days after my interview just in case.
 
If I haven’t gotten an ii yet and was complete 9/9 should I give up? Or are they still gonna release ii this month? ;(
I saw on their application timeline on their website that their virtual interview season is from early Sept to early Feb so we have until early Feb to know. MSAR also has the earliest acceptance notice is 02/17/2022. I also have not heard anything, complete on the later side on 10/03/2022.
 
Hey y'all. Are they allowing post-II updates longer than a week after the interview? I can't quite remember if this was touched upon during interview. Thanks!

I am a little confused, could someone help me? What is the deal with post interview update letter? Are we allowed to send them and if so how?

On the supplemental application site it says they’re allowed 1 week after interview but I am similarly confused if they were perhaps allowed via email or something . Can’t remember
