I thought they screen before they send out secondaries? Their website says so:
"After receiving the application materials from AMCAS, our Admissions Office will review the materials. If your credentials qualify, we will notify you to fill out an on-line supplemental application, which should be returned to us within two weeks (no later than December 1). "

Is that just something they say to make you feel special?

They don't need to. Half the people just look at the amount of work it requires and quit

Credentials could be everything from a full file review to simple having a pulse. It seems they're just really behind this year, which while annoying, has turned a lot of people off to Duke. Less competition for the rest of us.
