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

@svk12345 all in the article

Good luck from Northwestern 2021 ED thread. No matter the results, know that you are amazing and you deserve everything!

Just wanted to say good luck to everyone waiting for a decision tonight! I got my letter 15 years ago today (an actual snail mail letter because I’m old), but I can remember the anxiety of waiting like it was yesterday. I had a great experience at Duke, but keep in mind that you can have an amazing experience and get a great education at any college.

Just tried to log in to the portal and couldn’t.

@ellesbelles3 I was able to.

It tells me “invalid username and password” all of a sudden


@therealdeal23 it let you log in and didn’t say Error 403?

It didn’t let me login the first time but I just refreshed the page and entered my information again and then it did

I have been doing that for 3 weeks now though, so it’s not new

Just tried a different browser and it let me log in
just a bit longer guys! I’ve been attempting to do homework but just can’t before the decision comes out

Yea I tried to log into my portal and it says “error.” Maybe it won’t work until later?

Good luck from the Northwestern 2021 thread!

@macroam11 Don’t worry! That happened to my son too and we called. They explained that if you clear your cache and cookies it resolves the problem. Or if you don’t want to do that, you can log in with incognito (do you know what that is?) and it solves the problem. Incognito is a way to open a browser in mac (you can do this in different ways on other kinds of computers) that doesn’t interface with your user history at all. Try that and see if it works. Before we knew to do this, whenever we got the error message, if we re-entered the web address, it worked. You can call Duke tech support (they’ll be opened all night) to help you. (919) 684-2200

PLEASE TELL ME. HOW MANY HOURS TO GO FOR DECISION RELEASE?

A friend has applied and I think 1hr 40 min to go?

@cdvsdvsdvs I was just roaming through this thread, decisions appear to be releasing at 7pm EST

@EverLovinOwl Thank you so much! Best of luck to your son :slight_smile:

ONE MORE HOUR

The website now says this:

“Thank you for checking the status of your Duke application. This site will be unavailable Wednesday, December 14, 2016 until 7:00 pm due to the Undergraduate Admission decision release. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

I’ve tried everything- clearing my cookies and cache, incognito windows- it keeps saying error. what do I do??
