Duke Class of 2017 RD Discussion

<p>lol sucks that so many people were accepted ED</p>

<p>I totally regret not applying ED now haha
Especially since my stats were low to begin with</p>

<p>Under ten percent. That’s a milestone. But the EDers will offset it. Not let a true sub 10 percent accept rate overall.</p>

<p>Would it be a bad idea to check my decision from my phone at 6? Or will the site crash? I won’t be home/near a computer until 9 and really don’t want the anxiety of waiting…</p>

<p>A few more hours left! Yikes below 10%. Good luck everyone. I am prepared for the worst but still have hope for the best</p>

<p>Can somebody post the link to the decision thread if one has been created?</p>

<p>Article a little inaccurate. There were 31,785 total applicants and 29,245 RD applicants. That puts RD acceptance rate right at 9.9% because of offers from the ED deferred pool and a total acceptance rate around 11.5%. Given Duke is a more self selecting school in terms of quality of applicants (e.g. Harvard has more no chance applicants that apply just to say they applied to Harvard) scary numbers.</p>

<p>Always wanted to do this. ^_^</p>

<p>tennisforall - I feel like Duke must also have a lot of no-chance applicants as well. They may have a “dream school” complex, be huge basketball fans, live in NC, etc.</p>

<p>Philovitist - Thanks!</p>

<p>Expecting a rejection tonight from Duke, but got into Vandy! Couldn’t ask for a better day</p>

<p>If I was invited to the black student alliance invitational, is it safe to assume that I’m in? I’m getting less certain as time passes. The last thing I want is a rejection after already booking my flight. Ha</p>

<p>@supremehapa I’m waiting for vandy too :(( where do you live?</p>

<p>I applied ED for Duke and was deferred. I keep telling myself it is not my first choice so that when they reject me I am prepared. University of Richmond just accepted me and I love them so I will be happy… I guess…</p>

<p>I’m willing to bet money that I’m going to be rejected… I only applied in the first place because even a rejection is better than wondering what if.</p>

<p>Overall acceptance rate 11.6%</p>

<p>(2929+753)/31785</p>

<p>Good luck everyone! I am extremely doubtful I’ll get in, as I wasn’t even offered an interview and two students in my school got one. Thankfully I’m in at UChicago so I’ll still have a great school to go to! But regardless of what happens I wish you guys luck and am sure you will all end up happy!</p>
