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

@LEX1422 * I went to Duke Summer Academy this passed summer and I had the opportunity to go to an admissions expo where we learned more about the admissions process. The admissions officer said that participating in the program does not affect your chances of getting in. I mean I would think that it gives an advantage but he said it does not.

I have my Duke interview in 2 weeks!! I just got an email from the guy whose interviewing me

@Houston1021 @“LEX1422 *” It was the Summer College for High School Students program which consists of one college credit class and one non-credit class.

@argos5 thank you thats exactly what I was talking about! I think I am going to study abroad in England instead, since they are about the same price and it doesn’t help my admissions chances.

should we contact interviewers

Hi everyone; if you got into Duke ED, did you get a letter in the mail?
What about people who were deferred or rejected?
I applied to Duke ED and received no letters. Obviously I know this isn’t a good sign, but I would like to have something in hard copy. I could never find my admission result because they blocked me out of my onelink account.

Yes, we received letter in mail, one from admission office and one from Trinity.

Did you get accepted/ deferred/ rejected?

Accepted.

Okay; How about the people who were not accepted. Did anyone who was rejected or deferred get a letter in the mail?

You need to call technical support and get access to your online decision. The date to accept your enrollment has already passed if you got in.

@r.eality919265 . I was also locked out of my account and they helped me fix it within 20 minutes.

I was deferred and was only notified via my portal, no letter. They can give you your admission decision over the phone.

I had my interview a few weeks ago and my interviewer said that RD acceptances are around 1/15, but for applicants with very high gpa and test scores, she said its around 1/4

@CrabCakes735 How high of test scores/GPA?

@LaikaDoodles did’t say- she just said really good scores. I’m assuming it’s around near-perfect test scores

For RD notifications? So they aren’t all released at the same time in late March or April 1st?

maybe yes. the same day ,1st April

Well, it’s not necessarily April 1st. Last year it was March 24th. But yes, all decisions are released at the same time.
