Members don't see this ad.

I've been crying for the past five hours and the person I spoke to was just like sorry you're waitlisted and then ended the call. I'm heartbroken in a way that words genuinely can't express. I went to undergrad here and I loved this school more than anything.

I would try to make sure you get something in writing, if they did not already give it to you. Id email your situation so that is in writing too and make them respond in writing at some point and not just the phone.

Very sorry you had to experience that.

Ding for disorganization in that admission office. Reminds me of Mayo a few years ago with like 300+ people getting incorrect acceptance letters.

I would also screenshot your CYMS page just to have it.

The FA office usually does a presentation near the end of March and most need/merit aid comes out a little after second look. There are certain merit scholarships where the winner(s) are notified at second look.

Also congrats to all the As so far! I don't use SDN much these days, but feel free to @ or DM me if you have specific program questions

This is probably dumb but if you can't go to SLW is that looked down upon for scholarships particularly if they announce some at SLW?

 

[deleted1194639]

Do they release all decisions on the same day or multiple days?

They're absolutely releasing more acceptances tomorrow, no doubt about it.

How do you know that? Or are you manifesting it? Either way good thing lol.

 

[CelestialDragon]

@shy_hulud are more A's possibly on the way tmrw?!

Doesn't make a difference for scholarships and for the ones announced at SLW, winner(s) are selected in the week prior

Unfort I'm not sure!

Please don't make definitive statements like this unless you have hard evidence to back it up... Some of us are a little fragile atm...

We are truly blessed by the Maker on this day

Update: It was a mistake. Someone got back to me. This is actually the worst day ever

oh my god I am so sorry, that is actually so horrible

Long live the fighters (people still waiting post-interview)

Was skimming through past SDN threads to get an idea of Duke's WL movement and the 2006 cohort was talking about cage fighting each other for a spot lmao

Does anyone know what their financial aid is like?

 

[deleted1082311]

OOS WL

 

[sphingolipid1]

Does anyone know what their policy is on letters of intent/interest from waitlisted applicants?

 

[forumskeptic]

WL for undergrad, WL for med school… I’ll be back for residency 😈

 

[doggydog210]

OOS WL

 

[kahantry roads]

+1 WL. Side note: "Duke Med Admission Letter" is devious work and they don't change it throughout the years. I feel like someone in the admissions office has to know how that reads

 

[Dapper Duck]

+1 Post II OOS R, interviewed 9/25, great way to wake up seeing Admissions Letter in the subject for it to be a R 🔥🔥.

 

[dans789]

+1 Post-II OOS R, Interviewed 1/15, so tuff

Did you see anything promising regarding WL movement?

 

[pptf327]

Did you see anything promising regarding WL movement?

msar says 100-125 waitlisted and 30 accepted from the WL. idk how accurate the msar is tho.

 

[deleted1194639]

+1 Post-II OOS R, Interviewed 1/15 || Honestly really perplexed bc I thought I'd interviewed well. Guess the fact that I submitted 11/15 could have played into it :/

 

[deleted1194639]

That's a really small waitlist pool, no? That would mean that they send post-II R's to ~50% of IIs

yeah thats what i thought too

 

[chiknuggies]

WL. not my best interview performance here, but I was hopeful :’)
Not sure how accurate MSAR is, but it seems like there’s way more WL on here so I’m unsure about chances of A

 

[thefakesleeper]

Did you see anything promising regarding WL movement?

Looks like no movement happens until early May, but then it happens all at once. So basically we're in for another waiting game. Honestly I'm just gonna try to forget about it and assume I'm going to attend my other A and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised later on

 

[jj_blue]

+1 OOS Post-II R. gutted. this was my dream school and they did the same thing to me for undergrad 🙁 guess there's always residency 🙂

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

WL! Keep your heads up, soldiers 💪

All of y’all dropped this: 👑

+1,, fr! This schools waitlist is tiny and has solid movement 💪🏿

 

[nephile]

got an email about WL. I feel conflicted.

 

[gasces]

This is probably something I should have researched before, but if we get off waitlist in May, what do we do with the school we have listed on CYMS? Is it not binding by April 30? If this has been answered well elsewhere feel free to drop a link 🙏 thanks!

 

[dominoes1207]

dumb question, but do we have to do anything to accept the A? i know for other schools we have to click accept...

 

[Crunchyshrimpfries164]

Is the student ID on the admissions letter supposed to be different from AMCAS ID?

 

[Sakkarai7481]

+1 WL this morning, keeping my head up I suppose

 

[deleted1180326]

dumb question, but do we have to do anything to accept the A? i know for other schools we have to click accept...

I dont think so? I think we just have to pay the deposit but that can wait until april 30th. can someone else confirm LOL

Is the student ID on the admissions letter supposed to be different from AMCAS ID?

yes, its dif for me at least

 

[CelestialDragon]

where are y'all seeing this ID? on my WL letter it just says the date, my name, and home address at the top...

 

[TIN25]

Yep I think so!

 

[deleted1180326]

i believe these are assigned after getting an A? should've clarified, my b!

mine is different, I think its basically our Duke student ID

 

[beecell]

anyone know when pre-II Rs come out? ik it's a done deal and it doesn't matter but it'd be nice to have some closure
