Question: Does DOOK rank their waitlist?????????? Does anyone know when you are allowed to find out??????? Also, anyone have any idea how many people are waitlisted??
But most important, is it ranked???/

I was waitlisted last year, and according to my sources Duke does rank their list, and they are not allowed to tell you ANYTHING (not even whether or not you're in the top or bottom half!)!!! I had also heard that the list had AT LEAST 100 people on it, but I don't know if that was the number of spots offered or the number who accepted spots on the list. I also heard that the rankings are fixed, but I'm not sure if this is really true.
In the Duke class of 2006 there are 7 or 8 students who were accepted from the waitlist, that I know of. And if 7 or 8 students came, that probably means they offered spots to more than just 7 or 8 people, especially as it got closer to orientation day. But it seems to vary year to year...I've seen stats that say Duke accepted around 20 off the list a few years back, so you never know. It all depends on how many initial acceptances they grant, and how many students decide to matriculate (which I know isn't very helpful, but that's the way it is unfortunately)

It sucks to exchange anxiously waiting for an acceptance to anxiously waiting to get in off the wait list but as I said before I don't care if I get in off the waitlist for the waitlist so long as I go.
So I'm wondering if you would harbor a guess as to when you think any movement from the waitlist will occur - when did it happen last year?
Thanks
