Congrats @Dramaice! Can you let me know which school (Pratt or Trinity) and what region you’re from? And, are you M or F? Thanks.
Thanks! @mamablue
Female (not sure if that makes a difference in admissions haha)
Trinity
East Asia
Are you an international applicant? Or I guess China in specific?
Just curious you know because I learnt that applicants from China are really swelling, and admission for applicants in China is extraordinarily competitive.
@Rhapsody99 Yes, I’m an international applicant, but I’m not from China.
Does anyone know how many students are on the waitlist?
@NYMom123 Sorry, but no. I would expect many students to be though
Do you think students will get off the waitlist?
@yoyohi I think so. A couple of people have in the past week, and based on the Facebook posts, not all of them are going to Duke.
What Facebook posts are you talking about? Is it the Duke 2020 class group? I’m just curious as I’d like to take a look at them too. @Dramalce
@Nvidea123 Yeah the official class group. the admins are the regional admissions officers
Does anyone know how many students are on the waitlist for Pratt and how many students got admitted ?
nvm Accepted to Pratt school of engineering!
Do you think it would be of any utility to send another email at this point?
@Nicovagu I don’t think it would hurt, but do you have any updates to send? Like any awards or achievements recently, updates to grades, etc…?
@Dramalce Not really to be honest, I already graduated and took a gap year.
More like a little “Hey, I’m still here!”.
A boy at my son’s school got off the wait list for Trinity earlier this week. I know that our school counselor had advocated for him directly with the Duke admissions counselor. We were told by the same Duke admissions counselor that it was unlikely that there would be any movement on the Pratt wait list. But, apparently Sarah14361 got into Pratt this week, so someone (maybe a girl, to replace Sarah?) must have gotten in elsewhere or decided to take a gap year. It seems like the wait list is being offered to students one by one, as spots open, and not in “waves.”
@MOMANDBOYSTWO the dean of admissions asked me to respond to the offer quickly as possible so that they can accept more students off of the waitlist for pratt
Does duke send you an email if they accept you off the waitlist?
@yoyohi i was asked by the dean of admissions if I was still interested in attending Duke if given the spot and when I I answered yes, the dean said congratulations and said welcome to the class of 2020
Did the dean email or call u?
