Duke ED Class of 2020 Applicants Discussion Thread

I sent in my ED app a few weeks ago and it took almost 5 days before I got log in info. Also, it says it could take 3 business days before the CSS Profile thing will show up on your account as completed, but it is due today I believe, whether or not it is showing up.

@cheerleader34 see I got my log in info the next day and I submitted all my items Wednesday but the other stuff hasn’t shown up on my account. What I’m hoping is that it’s just not updating right now or if both really haven’t been recieved yet that they’re understandable about it.

@Lift35 It took a few days for it to show up for me as well. I would be willing to bet it has been received but the system just hasn’t processed it yet.

Does anyone has not-high rank? I’m ten percent…although for some systematical reasons

plus my school is huge… so my rank looks like a huge number… :-S

@njsdcisdjk Duke will see the number of students in your class

So even if my and my parent’s ED agreement is in, I won’t be considered ED if my counselors isn’t in by today? My counselor hasn’t done mine yet, is there anything I can do?

My S applied ED last weekend. We submitted his CSS on Monday but it doesn’t show up as completed. On Friday I called the College Board and they told me that Duke received his CSS on Tuesday (24 hours after we submitted it, they told us it doesn’t always work that way. It depends on when Duke uploads it and they happened to upload the next day). It still does not show up in his Duke account as completed. So just know that they are slow to update the information.

I think I read somewhere that CSS won’t be looked at until the 23rd of November. So it will only show up then, I assume.

@anxiousenior1 thanks for your encouragement :wink: good luck to all of us!

@njsdcisdjk luck needed indeed! Hoping I stand out from the 6 others at my school for what tends to be just 1 acceptance!

@a1h313 @anxiousenior1 my regional admissions officer replied and she said that it will take some time to match applications with other materials. So don’t worry, she said that if anything is missing they will email you to have you submit or resubmit the missing materials so we should be perfectly fine.

@Lift35 thanks! still sitting here anxiously waiting for my Duke and UChicago logins haha

Did anyone not submit that optional essay?

@soosoo948 I didn’t

@Lift35 Yes. There are also lots of students in my class applying :-S as I know there are 3 of them beside me

But I believe there might be more

Duke sent me the login information and I went online, and it says Duke is missing the Early Decision Agreement, School/Counselor Report, Teacher Evaluations, and High School Transcript. I thought all of these are attached to the common application when you send it. Could anyone clarify? Thanks!

@Mango920452 i know at least at my school, we had to turn in a form and our school counselor/registrar submits that stuff. if your school doesn’t do that, then your Duke account probably just hasn’t updated to show your information yet. when in doubt, talk to your school counselor or Duke admissions officer!

@Mango920452 You are not alone! I have submitted all the stuff, but I believe Duke hasn’t updated yet. But I’m also missing test scores, which I have submitted weeks ago.
