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

@LaikaDoodles what are your stats?

@uncledrew16
34 ACT, 3.98 UW/4.3W GPA, top 2% class, 10 APs, all Aā€™s

youā€™ll get in, mine are worse than that haha @LaikaDoodles

@uncledrew16 @LaikaDoodles guys they view the application holistically, the best thing you can do for yourselves is relax ~ iā€™m sure youā€™re both bright & wonderful.

Does anyone know about how Duke views the early college program? Because of my program my school offers no AP but I do have about 20 dual enrollements that or equal or more to AP (ex Calculus I and half of II is equal to AP Calculus BC , and Iā€™m in Calculus III). I know schools have different views. As some like it due to its advancement but others donā€™t since the tests are standardized and teacher made.

I believe they wonā€™t be bothered by it since APā€™s are not offered. They would just like to see you challenging yourself in what is offered at your HS.

Guys this article states that RD should come out March 30!

^^ prob will get an email about it on the 24th then

I really doubt theyā€™re doing it on Ivy day lol

Iā€™m tempted to think that date is wrong because the article is so old, but my gut tells me if they were willing to make that statement at all then they were confident about it.

maybeeeeeee someone could call the admissions office to confirm :bz just to clairfy if the article is consistent with their current plan

@collegeliz17 They said that last year. They will probably finish reading apps earlier. Most colleges do that, and then send letters earlier.

@uncledrew16 lets hope, it would be nice to know sooner.

Everybody, decisions are going to be released on the 29th or 30th! It sucks, but just remember that weā€™ve already waited this long, so an extra week wonā€™t kill us. Oh, and I found this out through the Duke Admissions instagram.

They posted on instagram that there are 10 days until decisions are released, so Iā€™m assuming that means the 29th.

Looks like the ED press release always states March 30th as RD release date. I checked the past few yearsā€™ and all of them show the same. But I guess the actual release dates were different.

Duke Admissions Instagram seems to confirm the date. I guess I was wrong. The 29th everybody!

ah good luck everyone

the 29th?! im dying out here :stuck_out_tongue:

Is it certain that the results come out on the 29th? Cuz I donā€™t think that the instagram looks that reliableā€¦
