***Duke Class of 2021 Discussion Thread***

OMG me too. And we’re both Malaysians?!

oh dang youre Malaysian too? darn. thought I would be the only Malaysian applying ed.

Yea I’m from Penang. Are you studying in the US?

I’m actually American but of Malaysian descent. Yes, I am studying in the US.

Ah I see. Well I guess we are in different pools since I’m applying as an international applicant. It’s surprising to find how two Malaysians both chose Program II though.

@pinkluvr26 I’m looking at UNC Chapel Hill! I already applied early decision (not binding). I love both Duke and UNC so I’m happy with going to either. The only thing I hate is that UNC’s decision date is the end of January! Such a long wait if I don’t hear a “positive” back from Duke. What about you?

3 days. Good luck everyone !

8-|

Does anyone know how many people applied ED this year?

So I have a class on Wednesday night… 5-9pm hahah why does this happen. I want to wait until after class so I won’t know until 9 and it’s going to kill me.

@emmalini use the bathroom and check then

@stressedsenior99 I think that will be released in the morning on the 14th

the email clearly said decisions will be released on December 14th 7pm eastern, though the actual time depends on where you live lol

@TheTennisNinja I’m kinda indifferent about it right now, but I think that if I see “denial” on my computer screen I’ll probably break down. Haha. So I’m choosing to wait until class ends so I can have privacy in case that happens.

ah just 2 more days to go (not counting today)!!! Good luck to everyone! I’ve never been more nervous in my life, but just remember that no matter what the decision is, everything really will be alright :slight_smile:

@stressedsenior99 In the past years DukeToday has posted the statistics the morning of the release! So this year I predict we’ll find out about that Wednesday morning. Here’s the class of 2019: https://today.duke.edu/2014/12/ed2015

Why I want to go to Duke: I visited Duke this past June and absolutely fell in love with everything about it. My tour guide was phenomenal and his passion for the school was infectious. The research facilities, study abroad programs, school spirit for the Blue Devils, and environment (location) made me feel welcomed and at home. I truly feel as though this is the place for me! Though some people say that Durham is a bit of a drag, I really enjoyed the city. The southern hospitality was unlike anything I had ever experienced. (side note: the food was to die for. Southern food>anywhere else in the U.S.)
Legacy: I don’t have legacy

I applied ED!!

@parakeet40 numbers wise it looks like you’re set. As long as your course rigor is up there with wha’s offered at your school and your essays are passionate and original you will have a solid shot.
