I have not e-submitted but I know PTCAS usually verifies ED before regular decision so I doubt it'll take that long. They've already received my transcripts though.

I am also applying ED to Duke!
As for the transcripts, it didn't take them long to verify mine. I had three different schools send transcripts, so they all arrived at different times. Each was verified a few days after they got received. I did get mine in fairly early though, so they may have slowed down as more people start sending transcripts in.

Good to know! On another note, how did you guys tackle the "describe yourself in 140 characters or less" supplemental question? That is the only thing I have left within my application before I can submit, but I've been having a hard time coming up with what to say.
It took me several days to figure what to say as well. I finally came up with a bunch of adjectives that describe my personality and my advantages after self reflection. I guess just tell them who you truly are from your first thoughts and show them that you ARE the student they're expecting. Good luck!
Thanks! This is very helpful
It also took me several days to think of what to say. I tried to provide a good overall picture of who I am and what I enjoy doing outside of school to give a complete picture of who I am. It's very hard to put your thoughts in 140 characters, so try and pick two or three things to highlight and then go from there.
Awesome, thanks 🙂
Do any of y'all know when ED acceptances are sent out from Duke? I know the PTCAS deadline is in September, but on the Duke program page of the application it says the ED verdict date is August 15th. Is this the actual date acceptances are sent out, or is it a typo?
According to PTCAS, programs must alert us of a decision regarding ED by September 26th. People I know that applied ED to Duke last year heard on September 20th, so I would assume it would be around those dates.
I also threw my hat into the Duke ED ring. Good luck to everyone.
They still had interviews last year though didn't they? I was wondering if it would be earlier this year since they took that out of the process.
Nope last year they didn't! I think last year was the first year they stopped doing them.

I don't think it should, it was before the deadline!
I also applied ED at Duke. And also had my transcripts arrive last minute....just praying now that everything works out!
Good luck to all of you guys 🙂
I'm worried about no interviews because that doesn't give a chance to make a good face to face impression. I feel like they will have to rely more on grades and stats with out this. What do you guys think?
How did they notify people last year, email or phone call?
Email!
I attended their information session in June and they said they eliminated interviews because it tended to be a hassle for out of state students. They also mentioned that the interview usually didn't change their mind one way or the other about the applicant, so there was really no need for them.

The wait is a killer. I wish they could let us know even sooner.
Wow, as early as the 4th? Thanks for the info @mioupt.
That's awesome!! I hope so!! Thanks for this
I also applied early decision, good luck to everyone!
Right?! I'm hoping that since they know there's no interviews they'll finish reviewing earlier.
Yeah of course! The wait is super nerve wracking

when do you think we'll hear back for the ED decisions??
I hope we do soon! The waiting is killing me
9/22 at the latest?
Yea according to their email
I have a poll running with my family and friends and the most popular date picked was the 19th! Decisions came out on a Tuesday last year so I'm thinking they might come out on a Tuesday again
Well then... If you're right, only 11 days to go. This wait only gets more anxiety-inducing the closer the decision time gets. Good luck everyone!
It's awful!!!
Hi everyone! I applied ED as well, every time I get an e-mail notification this week I jump a little. Hoping for news soon!
I just decided to apply RD!
I considered switching from ED to RD and applying to more schools??

I originally didn't think that my stats were competitive but I've boosted my GRE score and believe I have a chance now. I'm also less worried about costs now that I know more about the available diversity scholarships.
Has anyone heard anything yet! The wait is killing me haha
Someone said they called yesterday and admissions said they are sending out decisions Friday ):
Well I guess I can stop freaking out that I haven't heard anything and thinking they're denying me! haha and so the game continues
