Duke ED 2025

please, I hate that a comment I made a two days ago inspired this. Can we talk about midterms or something?

Absolutely! My school just announced that all teachers must still administer finals, so now I’m freaking out because I’ve been so lost in some of my classes.

Same here. My school split half of the students to learn from home and half face to face. I’m learn from home and I don’t think it’s going so well for me

Did the “received date” change for anyone else’s financial aid forms in the portal?

it changed a few days ago for me i think idk why
also does anyone else still dont have the “final grade report” in their portal anymore?

i don’t think anyone has it anymore

(my received date for a few of my documents also changed but not for all of them)

I would venture ALL who get in ED are “ivy” competitive. Come on. Duke does not have lower caliber students than all of the ivies. The Ivy worship is sometimes laughable here.

agreed. don’t know why the words “ivy league” make so many people go blind to anything else. i wouldn’t say many people regard duke as inherently lower than ivies, but for the record, USNews ranks duke higher than dartmouth, brown, and cornell. i know there are people who probably apply to duke because of its name, just like people do at many other top schools, but i also feel like duke applicants often have many reasons other than “it’s well-known/prestigious”

@baconfan30 Yepp, I still don’t have it
@onceanartist03 Mine changed a while ago, is your new date 12/03 by any chance?

mine is 12/08

Mine changed to 12/08 as well

mine changed to 12/06

Mine says 12/06, but I don’t know if that’s any different from what it said before.

I’m trying to gauge when these decisions will be out bc we were given a window instead of a date… do y’all still think it’s going to be next Thursday?

I think it will be, but maybe I’m just being optimistic

Mine says 12/06 as well!

i really hope it’s thursday or friday… after that i’m going on a trip with my family and i’d rather not be stuck with them when i open it

this is freaking me out because my financial aid docs haven’t been redownloaded from the original date :frowning:

does anyone else still see an X next to the midyear report?
also, my financial aid received dates have not changed

To save yourself more anxiety, call the FA office Monday. We called several of my D’s schools to confirm they received items that did not show on the portal. In all cases but one the portals had not yet been updated and they were able to confirm for us they had received everything required. But that one was an issue with the transfer of docs from the CSS profile and I am so glad we called. It was past the deadline at this point but they assured us it was not an issue as they could see they were uploaded well before the deadline. The FA offices were all very nice and helpful. They are there to help you! Good luck and don’t let this worry you too much. :slight_smile:
