where did you hear that the first emails go out tomorrow?
They better go out tomorrowā¦
Lol I didnāt hear it but my friend says first emails go out 8 days before decision emails on average. He thinks they wonāt push it to the 15th for decisions, so emails will come out tomorrow, ~maybe~ Wednesday
first emails containing decisions or first emails containing the date on which the decisions will be released??
ok I just need to log off and stop stressing lol good luck to everyone, hope we find out soon!

Applying Trinity RD, global health technologies and public policy studies #interdisciplinary
Really interested in Dukeās global health stuff, so why not
The waiting begins. ā¦
My daughter is from a private school in Houston, Texas. At least 5 kids from her school are applying to Duke ED. She is applying RD because she did SCEA at an Ivy. She is a 2 generation legacy at Duke and her grandparents live in Durham and are very active donors. Hopefully that will help in the RD pool.
@Houston1021 We were told at Duke that legacies in the RD pool had a 17-18% admit rate last year as opposed to (i think) under 10% for all applicants in the RD pool. So legacy is still an advantage in the RD pool. The numbers just arenāt quite as good as the ED pool. Good Luck to your daughter.
So are we supposed to be getting an email today??
@jshu11 itās all speculation now. As far as I know Duke admissions has announced nothing. One person on this thread said that they heard from Financial Aid that decisions would be released on the 14th. I called there this morning, and I didnāt have confidence that the person answering the phone knew the date or was allowed to share the date.
why are so many people applying ED from Texas??? rip.
As someone from Texas, although Texas is massive, te applicant pool will range from highly competitive to vastly under qualified.
While waiting letās play āGuess the number of ED applicantsā.
I will go first:
3766 ED applicants
3334 ED applicants
I think they forgot about ed applicants, their twitter just tweeted when rd decisions are due!
come onnnn dukeeee
I guess itāll just be the 14th. Or maybe never. Iām getting despondent. Think Iāll go hang another Duke ornament on the Christmas tree. 
My guess is 3400. This is suicide.
