Hey peeps. Will Duke send us an email that basically shows whether we are accepted or does the email just tell you that the portal is now updated and the decisions are out? I have been getting so many “unimportant emails” from Duke and I don’t want to open the email and suddenly see their decision. I need at least 5 minutes to calm myself before checking lol.
We’ll get an email that tells us the date and time to check the portal, and then we’ll probably get another that notifies us that the decision is ready. But the decision will be on the portal, not in the email @Chrisonemo
wait yall have been getting emails? I haven’t gotten a single email from them in a while…
Current Trinity Freshman here! Just wanted to pop in as well and send good vibes to everyone. Remember, everything works out in the end. 
I’ve just been getting random emails about their departments like Duke Engineering.
Just found out that my first quarter grades were sent today when they could’ve been sent a month ago 
Kinda concerned because decisions are soon! Would admissions have already started reviewing my app or would they review it only when they get the grades?
@ellesbelles3 No one can know, but don’t you think it might be that they were ready to review you so they got the grades from your high school? Don’t worry. It was just that you were on deck.
All my friends who applied ED to brown have already gotten their confirmation email for the 14th at 7. I just wish we could have confirmation as well!
Just emailed financial aid department again. They confirmed 14 @ 7 again.
hopefully they are accurate
Do you have screenshots?
Per C. Guttentag, ED decisions will be emailed 12/14 at 7 pm.
An email will be sent tonight stating that decisions will be emailed 12/14 @ 7pm
My son’s Guidance Dept received an email today from Guttentag. You will get an email this evening letting you know that decisions will be emailed 12/14 @ 7
Haha ya my regional admissions rep just confirmed as well!
Y’all, I was feeling dreadful about the decision, but my horoscope is ~super~ promising for December so I’m pretty excited about that.
Also, does anyone know if Duke compares you to other applicants from your school? I just found out that two boys are applying ED, but I don’t think either of them are applying to Pratt (also, I’m a girl, so I’m thinking that we maybe won’t be compared).
I feel they want applying to Pratt and you are you will be compared separately anyway
Yes I would agree. Because you are applying to a different school within Duke, I do not think you will be compared but I do not know for sure. Good luck to everyone!
@dukies thank you for the update. I wonder if it’s standard that the head of admissions emails a GC to alert them to the time of notification. I don’t think they do that for our high school. Thanks for sharing!!
@therealdeal23 did you email your regional admissions rep to ask?
