@Tifejjewel Getting into Duke RD with a 29 ACT is nearly impossible, especially with that C you have, unless you are Uber-hooked and have stellar supplements. Are you a URM?
@Pastpower yeah I figured. What’s a URM?
underrepresented minority
black, Hispanic, native american
RD acceptance rate for class of 2021 was 8%, 7% for engineering.

All my financial aid forms are now marked as complete in my portal. before they said they were missing the tax return and w2’s.
I got in ED and did get the idoc request but I still don’t think there’s any correlation. Also the dean of admissions said this year is “shaping up to be the most competitive year yet” at early decision blue devil day, so he may be alluding to a drop in RD acceptances, or he could just be referencing the early rate.
is anyone’s portal blank
@Lemonade22 what do you mean?
@Lemonade22 The portal loads up fine for me
Does anyone know when RD decisions come out?
@IntApp2022 Duke says early April, but should be out by the end of March.
I called the office today and spoke to an admissions rep. who told me that scholarship invitees and bsai invites MIGHT be out this Friday, or the following Friday. He seemed a bit noncomittal and never gave me a definitive answer though.
Guess I’ll be looking out for an email this Friday…
For real I’ll be sitting at my mailbox @MaybeHarvard2022
@Pastpower
Good luck to us all!

In 2016, BSAI notices came out
Thu, Mar 3 at 11:13 PM.
Hmm, so it could even be earlier this year. Maybe even this Thursday. Nerves just got that much bigger. However, I dunno if this is a trend but a lot of colleges have been pushing things back for me. Hopefully it comes Thursday tho.
Wait, scholarship notifications come out earlier than RD decisions?
@lesjubilants Yes, Benjamin Duke, AB Duke, and Reginaldo Howard are definitely released before decisions, usually early-mid March. Getting finalist status for a scholarship means you get early admission to Duke.
BSAI invites started going out Friday, March 3rd last year. Fingers crossed for this Friday!
