I submitted my ED Duke app on Oct 29, and my application is complete except for my first quarter grades which have not been released yet (my counselor will send that in).

The other girl from my school who has submitted an ED app to Duke has already been contacted for an interview, but I have not. However, she did submit her application about a week before I did. Does that play a factor in how quickly you get an interview?

I’m just kind of stressed because I don’t want to be put at a disadvantage by not receiving an interview. Also, I’m wondering how we live in the same city but she received an interview, and I did not. I’m pretty sure it’s not because of location.

If anybody could give some input and give me peace of mine, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!!

It’s important to mention that I live in a big, well known city, and I’m sure there are tons of alum here. In fact, one of the teachers in my school is an alum, but he chooses not to conduct interviews.

Yes some regions are running a bit behind. The interview forms are supposed to be due back to admissions by Nov 15, but they sometimes give extensions for the interviewers.
