If you applied for financial aid and submitted all your documents on time and didn’t get an email, it just means that the FinAid office didn’t need any more info for your case. People got IDOC requests in November because more financial info was needed to estimate their aid award. The FinAid office is completely separate from admissions, so IDOC requests have no correlation to acceptance.
@parrish if you didn’t get an email I wouldn’t count yourself out. they could just already have all of the needed info if you were accepted to make ur financial aid package
@parrish Duke is need-blind, so they don’t make decisions based on income.
So if we didn’t apply for financial aid and didn’t get the email we have nothing to worry about?
@stressedoutstu yeah i think we’ve nothing to worry about
@stressedoutstu yup you’re good
The email says not to check your acceptance in front of your friends. I personally have no shame in getting rejected and my friends will just be there to support me. Is there anything very confidential in the decision letter or is it fine to open it with friends around?
Any applicants from CA?

Er… Sorry, I thought CA was commonapp… I am from China
Received email says decision will be release on Thursday 7pm and please don’t share the decision on spot with classmates and parents etc as this is private matter, does that mean we are already been rejected and they are just nice to help you avoid some embarrassment?
I’m sure it is just a generic email sent to all applicants.
I’m from CA
I also posted my stats earlier in the thread
@fengjiang123 I got that too, I think it’s just in general for everyone. Realistically, I don’t think Duke has time to email everyone a little hint that they’re getting rejected.

I think the only thing that could hurt you in your height at 6’6". If that is your height and you can’t play basketball
Has anyone heard about the ED agreement thing: downloaded means acceptance, sumbitted is rejected? does anyone have downloaded?
@ThatGayOrphan69 if only you had lived out of a car for 4 years and overcome bowel cancer would you have a shot. Sorry.
