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

When I try and log into my portal it gives me an error. Anyone else have this problem or know how to rectify it?

@Math557 Are you logging in with Google or did you create a specific account?

Hey guys! I was just wondering if Duke accepts supplementary materials (ex: research abstracts) , and if so, how does one go about sending it? Thanks!!

I vaguely remember when I submitted my Duke application in 2014 a program called slide room that works in conjunction with Common app thatā€™s used to send portfolio of various academic subjects to your respective school. I submitted one of the papers I wrote for the Concord Review through Slide Room. You should look it up.

@PeregrineFlute Iā€™ve used google as well as Firefox and safari

RDer here for Pratt. Good luck, everyone! :slight_smile:

have any RDers gotten an interview yet?

@TikopiaRock28 applied by the priority deadline but still havenā€™t even been notified :frowning:

@TikopiaRock28 my daughter was contacted yesterday by an alumn in our area about setting up an interview. She wasnā€™t expecting one (given that we live in a rural part of Ohio) & she is pleasantly surprised. Now Iā€™m on here trying to find information about what she can expect

My daughter was contacted this week via email to set up an interview with a local alum.

My D has her interview on Wednesday, after being contacted about 10 days ago, which was about 1-2 weeks after applying. There is some luck, I assume, based on the availability of a local alum interviewer, I would think. We are in an urban area, so Iā€™m sure it was easy.

Has anyone else applied before the priority deadline (the 20th) and still not been notified for an interview? I still havenā€™t been notified, and I live in mississippi, so I wouldnā€™t be too surprised if there werenā€™t any Duke alums around where I live.

@biologylover I applied in November and I havenā€™t been notified for an interview, either. I live in Ohio.

Floridian here - I applied on the 20th and I still havenā€™t received an interview request.

I applied before the priority and nothing yet either - SoCal

Applied on the 20th, no interview contact yet, from Boston area

I just got an email for my portal (submitted my app on 12/31) and itā€™s showing my writing supplement (as well as all of my school materials) as not received, even though the common app says itā€™s downloaded. Anyone else having this problem?

@margaret1332 It took a while for my portal to show that all of my information had been received. Donā€™t worry!

Just got contacted for my interview :smiley:

Would anyone be so kind as to critique my essays?? Iā€™ll pm my essays if you can.
