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

nope, why do you ask?

no

:!!

I got the summer program email as well

anyone else here got schedule D, E, K on financial aid portal?

I got schedule D but not E or K

However, it seems like itā€™s just tax return information, in the sense that if you didnā€™t have that information already included in past submissions, those docs specifically ask for it. In one of the To-Doā€™s it says to submit ā€œall schedulesā€, so I think if you didnā€™t submit all of them, they specifically ask for them. Donā€™t think this means much.

So I have my FAFSA filled out and submitted to Duke but not my CSS profileā€¦ Is that bad? Does that mean that if I do get in that I wonā€™t get financial aid or can I still submit it later?

What do you guys mean by schedule D or E? I just have two things: CSS Profile and Earnings Statement

Any International Student here got an interview? I didnā€™t get one.

Yeah Iā€™m an international student. I got one

Hey guys, current Duke student here! Thought Iā€™d scroll through your cc page instead of studying for my finals because I had nostalgia about being accepted ED around this time last year. I just wanted to say good luck to all of you, and remind you that even though Duke is a awesome school, acceptance isnā€™t the be all end all. Ultimately, youā€™ll all end up going to a great school!

Also, to those of you freaking out a lot about test scores and volunteer work and extracurriculars, know that honestly no one talks about any of that stuff anymore, and that while selling yourself might seem like the most important thing now, youā€™re not going to remember in one year whether or not you got a 2340 or a 2330 on the SAT (instead, youā€™ll be wondering if you passed that last organic chemistry test)ā€¦ So definitely make sure that youā€™re doing things that you enjoy during your last year living at home, rather than things you think would look/sound good on an application. And even though application stuff matters to some extent, wherever you get accepted youā€™re going to meet people that applied with entirely different credentials and still got in.

If you have any questions about anything at Duke (particularly RD students, but also anyone thatā€™s curious), Iā€™ll try my best to answer them! My ā€œspecialtiesā€ are first-year classes, Pratt requirements, the first year dining plan (which I am generally not a fan of, nor are most people), the general atmosphere of Duke, LGBTQ life, basketball games/tenting, and club sports to name a few.

Once again, good luck and I hope to see many of you next year!

Where you from AES12345?

Iā€™m a U.S. citizen but I live in India right now

all of the details of my application have disappeared. Like my to-do list has completely disappeared.

@AES12345 Same here.

The only thing I can see is the Review/Update Application Details. The check list is gone. helpā€¦

@DukeShama is your financial aid tab up

For me the fin aid tab is still up

@sputnik13 Thank you! That was very helpful
