if the mid year report was on our checklists, wouldn’t it have us shown as admitted/deferred then? like does that make sense? i don’t have it, getting kinda nervous

I felt really good about all of my essays. for my common app essay I talked about the impacts of a nationally recognized shooting in my community, and how it impacted my family and ideologies directly (bc my mom was on the jury and I know a girl who was there).
I also felt really good about my duke specific essays, so fingers crossed!!!

@theboyoverthere wait so do you have it on your portal? (confusion intensifies)

WHO HAS IT ON THEIR PORTAL?

No, I don’t. Someone I know does

im just gonna hope that it doesn’t mean anything specific^^

Also, if I’m being completely honest, the Duke portal isn’t the ~best~ at updating so HOPEFULLY this isn’t my doom

Show me your transcripts bitches

Seeing how qualified everyone on this thread is, chances are at least one of us is going to be admitted or deferred, meaning they’d have to send in mid-year reports. If it’s not on anyone’s portal, I wouldn’t worry about it. Besides, they wouldn’t hint at decisions before they’re officially released.

@theboyoverthere If that is accurate, only admitted or deferred applicants would have that request. Which means rejection for everyone else. Screenshot please?
