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

I saw ‘duke emissions continue to drop’ on duke today and I had a miniature heart attack for about 5 seconds.

@Emberry me too!!

@Emberry hahahahah

Hey!! I applied for the AROTC Scholarship and I did my PMS interview at Duke. The woman who interviewed me said that they won’t know about the application status (accepted/rejected) until after we do! She actually asked me to email her tomorrow to tell her the results! So don’t overthink any of this… we find out the decision before any of these programs know. @SpritedVixen Are you doing army, air force, or navy?

@SpritedVixen My son is applying ED & NROTC & he has been in contact with the commander at Duke, who told him to notify Duke’s admissions office a few weeks ago that he had completed his NROTC application & interview & PFT etc. He is now second guessing what that means… He also had an awesome interview for Annapolis nomination, so now he has a potential silver lining if rejected by Duke, maybe he will go to USNA :slight_smile:

Also – looks like 861 were accepted ED this year. You can see the headline, but the link is broken… https://today.duke.edu/

And…now a few minutes later, that headline & story is gone…

I don’t see that

Maybe they made a mistake?

It was gone a few minutes later when I tried to show my husband… the numbers are probably correct, they were probably told not to publish yet…

If the numbers are correct, I believe thats more acceptances than last year… which leads me to believe more applicants. Maybe 3650 applicants?

@crbine I’m gonna guess 861/3775, 22.8%

We’re you awarded a scholarship yet? I have a four year scholarship to Duke (AROTC) and also did my PMS interview there( havent been accepted but I had to accept the scholarship somewhere). What type of ROTC are you going for? Hope to see you there! @emmalini

Why wouldn’t they want to release that info?

Who knows…

so they published an article and then deleted it? Thats sus

the article is up now, 861/3516 accepted.

here’s the link to the article https://today.duke.edu/2016/12/duke-accepts-861-early-decision-applicants

I’m in the next board for AROTC and I’ll find out about the scholarship at the end of January! I hadn’t finished my interview by the end of October for the first board (that’s why I’m in the run for the second board), however, the woman who interviewed me told me my stats are very strong so at this point it’s between the 3 and 4-year scholarship! Also, I am considering both Army and Air Force (leaning Army). Good luck with your decision tonight. I hope to see you at Duke next year! @MrMojo

671 deferrals
