whats everyone’s opinion on legacy admission stats? I’m just curious if you guys have heard if they get any advantage automatically over everyone else
Not at Duke. They sent an email addressing this.

I don’t remember an email but I do remember seeing somewhere that legacies are “guaranteed a second pair of eyes” whereas some candidates are only looked at by their regional AOs. It probably has something to do with the alumni verification process.
ohhh okay thank you! cuz i know some schools (harvard) love legacies and wanted to make sure duke wasn’t the same way
Same here. And Feb is in the middle of FRC (robotics) build season so by the time my kid was able to take it, it was canceled. She doubled up on ACT and SAT applications and was deferred from ACT 3 times and SAT 4 times. At that point I told her to just forget it and work on her college apps.
duke doesn’t love legacies the same way that schools like harvard and penn do. it’s my impression that they’re only granted something extra if their parent’s name is well-known/recognizable. i did hear about a legacy whose interview was with the dean themselves but i’d imagine that’s a very special situation. in any case, i think duke grants less of an advantage to legacies than other schools do.

can someone link the article that says duke is coming out Friday? i cant find this info anywhere…
If the decision come out Friday, would they announce it tonight? Or would they announce it three days ahead of time (so tmrw)?
it doesn’t exist, i’m not sure why that person was so confident. we’ll know when they send us an email confirming it, until then, everything is just speculation

So… at what point do I give up hope for this email? 7:30 maybe?
no idea lol. probably 9:30EST at the latest
just looked back at the past couple years, class of ‘24 got an email around 5:10PM EST, and class of ‘23 got an email around 9:12PM EST. after around 10pm if we haven’t gotten email i’d say we aren’t getting one tonight.
Maybe there is some truth to that Friday rumor…

i think it’s so funny how much speculation we do… like i’m very guilty of it too but sometimes we reach so far out of pure desperation and stress
