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

@hopelessopus12 Not at all! Last year my son was so sure he didn’t get in when so many received the BSAI. He wound up receiving it within a day of the official RD results. You just never know, so don’t lose heart!

@acceptmike On the Duke Parents FB page, the people who oversee it announced that this is Duke’s admissions Instagram: @discoverduke If that is the one wondering about, I bet it’s the legitimate site. Good luck to you.

Waiting waiting waiting…!

Hey, did anyone receive a likely letter for the Provost Scholars Program ?

Hey guys, how much does geographical region matter with respect to Duke admissions?

I ask because I have stats that would be considered average for Duke, but I have no other ‘hook’ such as being URM (as an Asian Indian, my heritage may hurt more than help me when considering admit chances). However, I am from an underrepresented geographical region. Does this help at all?

@rajandhisjourney It might help a bit. What region are you from?

@LaikaDoodles Appalachia (West Virginia). I checked some past class profiles and noticed there was a notable lack of admits from my region, like 3-4 since my cousin went in 2008 to be exact.

Does anyone know at what time duke will release the RD decisions next week Saturday?

Saturday?

Admissions come out next Wednesday at 7 pm ET, as per the Duke admissions instagram

@ladboy Yes, I received in the mail today! Super excited, but I don’t really understand what Provost Scholars entails.

@Dcunited7891 Congrats, I received one too!
Which state are you from or are you an international?

I got the letter for the provost scholars as well and I’m in state. From the letter, I believe that it’s just an honors program that doesn’t give merit scholarship money.

@ladboy I’m from MD! It seems that they give $1,000 for book expenses but I think that’s it

Does anyone know anything regarding notification for Washington Duke Scholars?

So when are decisions expected to be released? Date and time?

Decisions are gonna be released on 3/29 at 7:00 EST

@MSYP100 wednesday next week at 7pm eastern

I’m definitely getting rejected, but I’m glad I atleast tried! :slight_smile:
Good luck to all of the other applicants!! Fingers crossed

@StellarsSting Come on!!! Who knows!!!
