I know 2 students who were deferred ED and got in RD to Duke (one applied elsewhere for ED2 and did not get in), so it does happen. Stay positive!!
Yup! I know a girl who was deferred ED and then kept up her grades and submitted 2 additional rec letters, she got in RD!
Was talking with someone who’s child applied ED and had a letter of recommendation from a Duke professor. Does this have any impact on acceptance? This year looking at this thread as well as articles look to be more challenging then others…especially with holding spot for kids who took a gap year. My child is a bit nervous this kid will “beat him out” of a spot thinking they only take a certain amount from a school or area.
Not too sure about that…I think we are competing against others from our area. What types of letters of rec did your kid get?
I don’t remember what he submitted to each school. He got 2 from his teachers and one from an organization he volunteered with for years.
I’m so nervous and stressed out!!!
omg, same! I definitely have a Calc midterm on Friday but I can’t focus on studying
i don’t think that just because the other kid might get in, it means your son is out of the running. yes, it may mean they are compared, but not necessarily that they are competing for one single spot. if your son feels like he has a strong application, there is nothing more he can do except wait and see.
Just curious if anyone has gotten an email yet? I wanna make sure it didn’t go to my spam lol

I’ve had a really hard time motivating myself to work on other college apps. Anyone else?

For sure. I got nose surgery this week too so I am even more tired and impatient than usual, just sitting around the house with a cast all day.
