<p>Tigerfan: Yes,thank you for your note. I received your other email suggesting I was "jealous"--the earlier one that was never actually posted here. I can only assume the moderator felt it was inappropriate and removed it before it was ever posted. I'm actually not an applicant to Duke, so..no..not jealous. But thanks for thinking of me, Tigerfan.</p>
<p>whoa yall... whats with the animosity, geez...</p>
<p>The moderator didn't remove it, I edited it because I thought it was too antagonistic. But I also said that calling you jealous would be unfair, just like you calling me defensive was.</p>
<p>And it was posted, that's why it says "Last edited by tigerfan17 : Yesterday at 06:03 AM." I just didn't want to start any problem over something I don't really care about. You started talking **** about me for no reason, but I was just going to say my piece and leave it at that, the jealously bit was trying to make a point (I know you aren't really jealous, just like I'm not defensive) but I figured it would just make things worse so I removed it. But again, another interesting (and wrong) theory, like the geography one, the Princeton one, etc. Good day.</p>
<p>peace and harmony</p>
<p>I agree, I'm done.</p>
<p>Do internationals get likely letters? I know colleges like Yale send them.</p>
<p>Tigerfan (wow, too much fighting here), does the letter imply that the scholarship recipient pool is selected from letter recipients? (It would make sense - about 150 scholarships finalists, 350 letters). What is stated regarding that?</p>
<p>i just got one today...but mine is dated feb 17th. I guess they hadn't read all the applications by their first 'wave' on feb 10th cuz it seems kinda redundant to send a new group of em just one week later</p>
<p>Congrats! What does yours say?</p>
<p>Oh, and when did everyone send in their apps? Is there a correlation?</p>
<p>i sent in common app like late nov, and supplement mid-late dec or something...</p>
<p>mine said exactly what everyone else's has said</p>
<p>jellybean, it's pretty ambiguous about that, saying some of the recipients will receive invites to the scholarship program. But I really don't know, I'm sorry. And I'm also sorry for the fighting that was going on, that was really childish and stupid. I submitted my app online about a day before the Jan. 3rd deadline, so I don't think it has much to do with that. I got a letter from President Brodhead today, saying a lot of the same things as the other one.</p>
<p>hrm - so no one here knows of any internationals who got likelies?</p>
<p>I got my likely letter today. Yay! </p>
<p>Dated Feb. 17th 2005. I sent my application on December 28th.</p>
<p>I wasn't expecting to get one, I thought they only sent them out to scholar-athlete-URM recruits or something...I guess not.</p>
<p>EDIT: Check out my p.r.s.t.a.t.s page for my "stats," if u want...</p>
<p>any info on your stats or other things that might help your app</p>
<p>please someone.........does anyone know whether internationals get these as well ??</p>
<p>I got my likely letter today! It was dated Feb. 22, and I think I got it late because Duke lost my teacher recs for a while. Anyway, I'm very happy, and definitely looking forward to the visit in March.</p>
<p>I have no idea about internationals though :-.</p>
<p>firebird, what's your p.r.s.t.a.t.s username?</p>
<p>Why so many different dates? Wouldn't they send them all at once? Anyone willing to ask if they're still sending?</p>
