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

i’d trust it since it’s them making an official announcement

I emailed Duke Admissions and they said that they had not finalised the release date yet. They will notify applicants about the decision day and time once they are ready.

@herickxz hope its this week!

When did you email them? @herickxz

@parisgeller I emailed them today and asked about confirmation for the instagram post.

Oh hm thats weird that they posted that on instagram then

I dont know why I applied to duke bc I virtually have no chance but…
ACT: 28
GPA W: 4.00, UW: 3.78
Extremely good extra-curriculars
Two very good interviews…
Mediocre essays

A friend of mine contacted an officer and was informed that it would be the “middle of next week.”

I called and the person answering the phone was vague and non-committal. I mentioned the instagram post and she said she was unaware of a firm date; however she said that they would send out an email to students, informing them of the decision date, approximately a week in advance. So…given that that email has not been sent out and given that the instagram account just posted a 9 in the counting down theme AND that @chipotleforlife has a friend who said it would be middle of next week, I am betting on March 29th.

Yep, one day before Ivy Day sounds reasonable.

Instagram has it counted down to 9 now

does anyone know if Duke has stopped sending out scholarship finalist invitations?

Got a likely letter a few days back… Looking forward to March 19th now

@tacanadian I guess the merit scholarship finalist invitations had all been sent out by 10th March. I received one on 9th. Most - maybe more than 85% - of the students get accepted without merit scholarships, so no need to worry on this.

@iamrebus what you talking about? It’s 21st today, buddy!!!
Does Duke send likely letters? Never heard that.

@identification
Typo, sorry
I meant 29th

@iamrebus Duke sends likely letters? Or are you talking about the letter they send to black students?

The Duke admissions instagram looks sketchy. I don’t really trust that countdown.

lol why? @acceptmike

I’m 99% sure it’s the real instagram for duke admissions, so I think the countdown is probably right haha
