Son rejected, CS major
ACT 36, 4.0/4.9, CS ECs, Eagle Scout, NMF, 13 APs, etc.
Rough night here going 0/3 (and rejection letter noted his family ties to Duke, felt extra disappointing)
Congrats to future Blue Devils!
Hello and congratulations to all who got it to the school they wanted.
S22 admitted to Duke today, but missing financial aid award. Anyone else in the same situation? Thanks.

Yes. Scary for the financial piece to be up in the air, but trying to be patient. Hoping there is more good news to come.

New to this group as we never ever thought DS would get in.
Accepted
Engineering
98/100 unweighted gpa - we guess it’s a 4.0 as no grade lower than a 93.
1550 (790m, 760v)
NMF
Good but not major related ECs and leadership (Quiz Bowl, Model UN, etc) and not fabulous, just good
Good science research project that won a few awards
Not much public service
White male from NY.
Also got into Cornell, Michigan (after a deferral), Purdue Honors, Case Western (with great merit money), UIUC. Rejected Columbia, Northwestern and Penn (my alma mater). Wait listed at Carnegie Mellon, Vanderbilt, Rice and Northeastern (after a deferral). Did not apply anywhere ED due to financial concerns but lots of EAs.
I didn’t look but DS said the financial package included 3k in merit. No need based aid.
Guess we have some basketball to watch!
