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

@Mustardseeds It said in the email that they don’t invite everyone that applies for admission, so you can still be accepted even if you aren’t invited.

Yes I bought my ticket! @oneandonlyx

Anyone else heard from Duke? University Scholars Program? I guess what you guys are talking about is BAIS. It’s just for black students, isn’t it?

Did you guys apply for these scholarships or do they just give it to people who they believe should get it? Because I don’t recall choosing/applying for any scholarships :stuck_out_tongue: Or are those the same thing as the “signature programs” that we had to choose on Commonapp?

Yeah, BSAI is just for black students. And everyone that applied to Duke gets considered for merit scholarships. ^

Hey people,
HELP NEEDED!!!

I just received a congratulatory email from Duke for making it as a finalist for Karsh Merit Scholarship. The first sentence says - “It gives us great pleasure to inform you that from over 34,500 applications you have been chosen as a finalist for the Karsh International Scholarship at Duke University.”

Unfortunately, the email doesn’t say anything about admission. Does this email ensure a place for me at Duke University?

You would not have gotten that letter if they were planning to reject you. Funny that they did not send an acceptance letter also. Maybe their league rules prohibit them from accepting you before the rest of the class.

@identification CONGRATS! YOU GOT IN!!!

WOW… it doesn’t feel real!!! :smiley:

Congratulations, @identification!

Congrats!!! I wish I was in your position rn lol!

@identification wow congrats, that’s amazing!!!

Congratulations for all who got the good news. I’m wondering if every one has got an interview? My D didn’t get interview information. So I would like to ask if she still has the chance. Thanks

I don’t think interview plays a huge role.

Are you guys sure that Merit Scholarship finalists are automatically accepted to Duke?

Does this mean that all Karsh Scholarship finalists have been selected? Those who didn’t get it are out of the race right?

Has anyone heard from Washington Dukes Scholarship program?

If someone’s a Karsh Finalist, does that mean they’ll get accepted with full need met, even if they don’t get the scholarship? Somebody please tellll

Is it possible to be accepted without a scholarship info email at this point?

Just got an email for the University Scholars Program!
