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

next wednesday is my birthday lol

I just received an invitation to the Latino Student Weekend, has anyone else??

@esalinasgt That’s awesome! Congratulations on your acceptance!

@esalinasgt Are you international?
Congrats!!!

How did you know you were accepted? Are the decisions out yet?

@elay1202 He/she recieved a Latino Student Weekend invitation

That does not mean anything. All Latino applicants were invited

@elay1202 You’re completely wrong.

@smm yes, I am international

@elay1202 the e-mail says “Please understand this invitation is meant for you. We ask that you do not forward this email to fellow Duke applicants. We are unable to invite every student who applied for admission and will continue to invite students as space allows.” Which would lead me to believe that not all Latin American students are invited

Well maybe not all, but a lot of them were. And they even say that they “will continue to invite students as space allows” So this invitation clearly doesn’t mean acceptance. Stop overthinking guys

The diversity weekend invites are likely letters. They’ve been around for a while and those students are later officially offered admission.

They’re similar in nature to Rice’s “Vision” invite.

@elay1202 I never said I was accepted nor am I overthinking it, someone else said congratulations. However, the email does say “Naturally, inviting you to campus means we think you are a very strong candidate for admission. Occasionally, something happens or we receive new information between the time we send invitations and the time we finalize admissions decisions, and we find we can’t admit someone we’ve invited. However, that’s very rare. Your chances of being admitted are excellent.” Take that information as you wish and we’ll see in a couple of days

@esalinasgt ok i hope you hear good news then!

@esalinasgt That’s exactly what likely letters always say. Unless you do something terrible and they rescind, you’re in. My son received the BSAI last year and everyone who did was offered admission. The same has been true for the Latin weekend version. Again, congratulations! Duke is awesome and I’m sure you are as well.

@Alamom thank you so much!! :slight_smile:

aaah I’m trying to keep my hopes down! It’ll crush me if I expect anything more lmao

FAM! I just got a likely letter from Duke! Does anyone know what the Provost Scholar thing is?

@esalinasgt That is a Likely Letter! Congrats again!
Do you mind telling where you are from?
