Does anybody know where you are supposed to upload your headshot?

I think it was through the portal, but I could be mistaken. The email had more info about it!

Through the portal, after signing the attestations!

Through the portal, after signing the attestations!

Oh! I don’t see the portal? Are we emailed a link closer to the interview date? Or do we not have the option to upload until 48 hours prior to interview?

 

[shatri]

Also having trouble finding both the attestations and the headshot upload link. I accessed my secondary application but all I see is a banner reminding me of my interview date and the stuff I submitted with my app.

Edit: just realized the email said they would be available within 48 hours of our interview. Lol I misread it and thought we needed to submit it before 48 hours. Just saved myself an embarrassing email.

Post II-R received sometime next month

 

[Holland]

What why??

Not my finest performance. It was a me problem, not them. Interview staff were friendly and I had a good time but half of my stations devolved into me babbling

 

[shortvanilla]

I just want an II... smh

head up king. Your babbling is probably einstein thesis tier

 

[toastedbutter]

Holland babbling is like Fleming having an accident in the lab and discovering penicillin

As someone who's also expecting a post-II R for similar reasons, please take solace in that:

1. The interview is just one component of your app. Outstanding stats may still get you above their acceptance threshold.
2. Even if you don't get into get yield protected by Duke, you have Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Johns, Cornell, Yale, WashU, Penn, NYU, UCSF, [insert T20 here] as backups.

 

[sillychemistry]

Is it worth it to send LOI here? sorry cant remeber from interview ahaha

When can we expect any decision from Duke post MMI?

 

[FantasticFanatic]

When can we expect any decision from Duke post MMI?

Dr. Yee said yesterday they’re aiming for the week of February 20

 

[potato100]

I was wondering if anyone has any info on whether there will be another II wave or the last interview dates for Duke? trying to see if I should hold out hope

MAYbe one next week but that would be the last one

Is the mandatory post-interview survey anonymous? Not going to cast aspersions on them, just wondering

 

[chef_pierre_pies]

The email said "confidential feedback" so I'd assume so

 

[OreoLover365]

Is the mandatory post-interview survey anonymous? Not going to cast aspersions on them, just wondering

I think on my interview day Dean Yee said the feedback would be anonymous since they wanted genuine ways they could improve without interviewees feeling like they had to be completely positive

 

[FortuneDoesntFavorFools]

That interview was so exhausting but exciting. I'm on the lower stat end so I feel I needed to be near perfect and I definitely was NOT that looool but I'm still so grateful to have had the opportunity <3

exactly how I felt after my interview too, fingers crossed for a good outcome for us tho!

 

[anxiousqueen222]

Also curious about this. Also- when do they start sending rejections?

Acceptances and rejections go out at the same time. Duke is not rolling.

 

[FishRFriendz]

y’all actually be out here getting into Duke n shi that’s crazy. cheers xoxo - lurker from the DO threads

 

[deleted1170007]

Do any MSTP applicants remember what they said about updates post interview?

 

[ttheG]

Acceptances and rejections go out at the same time. Duke is not rolling.

Any idea when the results will be announced?

 

[wysdoc]

Any idea when the results will be announced?

Duke will make calls to those accepted and send emails to those turned down or Waitlisted in mid to late February.
They don't sprinkle out acceptances before that.

the absolute chad move of turning down an interview from Duke of all places

the absolute chad move of turning down an interview from Duke of all places

Based tbh
Living in Durham is nice if you go to undergrad there or if you have a family but otherwise is prob not ideal

 

[parmi]

So interviews are officially done being sent out or?

 

[madamemichaelscott]

Yeah fr bro I spent so much time making sure these essays were perfect and they were the template for like all the essays that did give me an II

yeah man it is what it is. seeing even the goats of this cycle on SDN getting hit w their fair share of pre-II Rs makes me feel better about the randomness and crap****tery of this thing

Hi all - what is the best time to send a letter of intent to Duke? Does Duke value it?

 

[topspin_tadpole]

Question about update letters: I interviewed in October and am obviously far past the 1 week post II where you can upload update letters to the portal but was wondering if I could still email an update letter to the admissions office - are we just absolutely not supposed to send updates after that 1 week mark though?

 

[porkandbeans8888]

Are interviews still going out or am I properly cooked lol

 

[2023applicantxd]

You and I are both properly cooked my bro

 

[wannabecomedian]

maybe we just block their email so we can’t get rejected

 

[nervous applicant]

maybe we just block their email so we can’t get rejected

Considering the Duke secondary was the only email this entire cycle to go to my spam, the rejection email might end up there too lol

 

[ACKjp]

maybe we just block their email so we can’t get rejected
