<p>Best of luck to you all. If this an indication of the openings, hopefully there are many spots available. Good luck.</p>
<p>Wolffy.</p>
<p>whoa!!!!!! did you just get off the waitlist? where are you from? and could you share something you did to improve your chances? thanks</p>
<p>Congrats. So did you go and serenade the adcom all night as promised? :)</p>
<p>you did, already? o.o I am sooo jealous! I'm on the waitlist, but not hoping for much...</p>
<p>I thought they only even /looked/ at the waitlist /after/ May 1...?</p>
<p>I thought the admission committee meets again after May 1 to determine the number of spots to give to waitlisted applicants. How did you hear? Btw, congrats!</p>
<p>I recieved a phone call. Thanks all. And good luck. My methods were sending in the postcard, and I wrote a 2 page letter saying why I realized after applying to Duke (My Why Duke? essay was very see through) that Duke was where I wanted to be and updating them on my awards/ grades I was about to put in the mail a copy of a new transcript and recommendation tomorrow.</p>
<p>I hope waitlistees take it as good news that there is still a good chance of attending Duke. Good luck all.</p>
<p>And purrli... I was in fact planning a trip after APs down to Durham... I was either going to serenade, or bust down the doors... whichever was to work best.</p>
<p>When you got the phone call, were you asked if you are still interested in Duke? Were you just told that you got accepted off the waitlist?</p>
<p>Yes, I was asked if I was still interested. And I was skeptical at first, then was asked if I would like a spot.</p>
<p>Me Too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Mom Got A Phone Call From Them First When I Was Out And She Was Kinda Of Confused At First So Then I Called Them Back And They Said They Are Offering Me Admission!</p>
<p>I Was Actually Just About To Send Them My Letter Of Recommendation From My Principal Too!
This Is Sooooo Amazing!</p>
<p>I also sent them a 2 page letter showing my interest. I called and emailed my regional representative several times as well showing my interest and updating my ECs and awards.
I also got 2 extra letters of recommendation from my town council's chairman and my principal.
I just visited Duke last week and spoke with them in the admissions office.
My councelor also called them yesterday.</p>
<p>Congrats! </p>
<p>Now I'm flipping out. I'm waitlisted. My caller id shows a call from Duke yesterday, but there wasn't a message left. OMG. Now I'm flipping out majorly. I haven't sent my letter in, but I've had two alumni's go to bat for me. Wow. I wonder what all this means. </p>
<p>Can I call and be like why did you call me?!</p>
<p>I would give them a call - what do you have to lose?</p>
<p>Nothing. It shows it was at 430 pst, so it would be 730est, kinda weird. I just don't know why they wouldn't leave a message or call today. Hmm. Maybe they'll call tonight in the next few minutes. I can't call tonight since they'd be closed, so I guess I'll give it a go tomorrow.</p>
<p>this kinda scares me...I was admitted under RD and have finally decided Duke is where I am going next year...I haven't even turned in my letter telling them I'm coming yet!</p>
<p>Hopefully you all won't take my spot lol...</p>
<p>congrats guys! that is great news!</p>
<p>Trinity or Pratt?</p>
<p>congrats to all of u and gl to the ones who havent heard yet. must be never wracking 4 u guys rite now. </p>
<p>hope to see all of u in the fall as DUKE 2010 REPRESENTING!</p>
<p>trinity .</p>
<p>I called the admissions office today and they connected me to the waitlist coordinator when I told them I got a call. I left a message but she never called me back. Now I checked which number Duke showed up on my caller ID and went to their website. It's Guttentag... So yea. Nothing has been answered, so I guess I'll try on monday. Just wondering why they wouldn't call back... </p>
<p>For those who got in off the waitlist, who contacted you?</p>
