<p>It is becoming clear that the 5:35 posters are the rejected students at Duke</p>
<p>I am a 5:35er sad to say though not surprised.</p>
<p>SAT 2250.</p>
<p>Anybody who is a 5:35er and gets accepted should post here tomorrow so future generations of Duke candidates will have this valuable information.</p>
<p>SAT doesn’t have everything to do with it. I have a 2190 SAT and a 1:16 submit time, but my application is pretty well-rounded with plenty of extra items, and I have legacy at Duke. All hope is not lost yet. Maybe rejects/admits are 1:16 and waitlists are 5:35. Anybody’s guess really. Best of luck to anybody regardless of their time.</p>
<p>^ you know ryan that actually makes A LOT of sense. since there are sooo many 1:16s that could be the combination of rejects and admits, and the very few 5:35s could be wait lists?</p>
<p>I had it at 4:43. O_o</p>
<p>MasterFox, 4:43? You are the only 4:43 I have seen. That would make sense to have 3 different time stamps for each decision possibility, but why would there only be 1 person with that time?</p>
<p>I’m 5:35</p>
<p>I have a 2350, I’m a URM, and I recently got into Amherst though my essay was pretty bad. I would have thought I had a better chance at Duke since my essays for it were better and my interview was fantastic.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure Duke wouldn’t make it that obvious…I think everyone is just reading too much into it…somebody from ED said that the ED people freaked out about the same thing and afterwards tried to find some kind of correlation between time of submission and decision and they couldn’t find any…</p>
<p>***, 4:43, are you serious?</p>
<p>Hahaha, hello my fellow losers! Glad we officially have a club.</p>
<p>This is the conclusion of speculation?
1:16 - accepted
5:35 - denied / watilisted</p>
<p>?</p>
<p>there are too many 1:16s for that to be true… maybe it’s by geography?</p>
<p>kitkatkatie, I doubt it. People have been from all sorts of different places but still have the same time. It might be very general geography, but it’s still a bad rationalization.</p>
<p>I’m international… or perhaps a lot of CC ppl are very qualified. Heard those with likely letters were also uploaded 1:16…</p>
<p>This thread is ridiculous!</p>
<p>People in this forum who applied ED have already said that the time stamp has NOTHING to do with your decision. It is most likely the time in which they uploaded your decision to the website, which tells us that its entirely arbitrary.</p>
<p>Decisions come out tomorrow! Just relax ( : Please!</p>
<p>Why are we speculating? There is nothing to base these speculations on at all. Lets all just wait until tomorrow and then start comparing the time to the decision.</p>
<p>But no one has found the link to that ED thread…</p>
<p>1:16 here and I got a likely letter, if that helps.</p>
<p>^^ … No, it doesn’t help.</p>
<p>And this is a pretty exclusive club, Travard. Members only.</p>
<p>I got 5:35 haha. I hope it isnt true. I was waitlisted at Amherst and UChicago already and I just want to get into one of my top schools :/</p>
<p>Yay! 5:35 losers unite! And, kitkatkatie, you might want to actually read the other thread before you make comments. Just saying.</p>
