<p>I guess Duke isn't doing so well with the yield this year? xP</p>
<p>^ although there aren't any really official reports yet about letting people in off the waitlist, it seems to have risen this year at many schools.</p>
<p>congrats to all... do you mind sharing your experience with me?... cuz i am very keen on getting off the waitlist...though the chance seems smaller and smaller...</p>
<p>but i would reli like to listen to others valuable advice on what else i should do to increase my chance, apart from sending over the additional materials? </p>
<p>thx a lot</p>
<p>Congrats Wolffy! I guess Stanford just wasnt right for us, so Ill see you at Duke next year.</p>
<p>Hey... yah... after the Stanford deferral and the realization that it probably wasn't gonna happen RD... my heart secretly became set on Duke... and when I was waitlisted I was bummed (I had decided upon Wash U after much debating... and got the Duke call a few hours after filling out the Wash U forms...). So needless to say I am extremely pumped, and am even wearing my Duke sweatshirt as I type... see you around campus.</p>
<p>I'm also in my Duke sweatshirt and hat right now!</p>
<p>I actually wore my sweatshirt on May 1st, since my school said to wear your school gear. I had my free USC shirt under. It feels good to actually be able to wear the Duke sweatshirt now.</p>
<p>Yeah see you then :) I hope you get to visit the campus during the summer, because its great!</p>
<p>wow! awesome guys. Hey Wolffy, I was so disappointed when I got deferred and later rejected by stanford too. But, Duke is sweet! See you guys there.</p>
<p>gcards1- i'm very happy that people like you are accepted after all. every one of your posts is filled with so much excitement about going to duke, that it makes me feel very guilty for taking my own acceptance for granted at times. really hope to see u on campus.</p>
<p>Congrats everyone! Its really great to get in a school like Duke after getting waitlisted. You all are really lucky and amazing! :)</p>
<p>Thanks chlor! I'm just so excited things worked out. I loved Duke when I visited and couldn't see myself anywhere else. I've been browsing people's myspaces and it seems Duke students have tons of spirit. I can't wait and hope to see you on campus.</p>
<p>My packet arrived today, so I can send in the enrollment tomorrow. Interestingly, it included my waitlist letter, as well as the same acceptance letter everyone else got.</p>
<p>How did you receive your admission packet? (through DHL, FedEx, USPS, etc?)</p>
<p>Through US priority mail.</p>
<p>mine was through FedEx</p>
<p>I got accepted off the waitlist last saturday via e-mail, I now have to choose between duke and cornell, what would you guys do?</p>
<p>Theres someone from my city who is deciding between Duke and Cornell. Personally Id go for Duke, and since this is a Duke forum, I suppose most of the people here would agree.</p>
