who else is freaking out? like 10 more days omg. I’ve wanted this since 8th grade ever since Grayson Allen won duke the NCAA championship
should I be concerned that I got a B in AP Calc and a B- in normal physics this year? my major is classical studies (humanities) and in my 4 other AP’s I got A’s/A-'s
Okay, I have a question. I submitted both my SAT score and my ACT score, but my SAT score was quite a bit higher. Will my ACT score still be considered during the admissions process if it is lower than my SAT score?
@sanjanagupta1 That’s correct, don’t think they would round to more than 2 decimal points.
Oh but I have also heard that colleges covert everyone’s gpa to their own internal gpa just to be consistent across the board in which case not sure if the third decimal place is considered. Regardless that’s extremely close to 3.8.
I hope Duke ends up releasing early on the 13th or something, I’m getting super nervous and I just want to find out
Did anyone else’s portal go blank?
yep!! ohh boy they better not be updating our decisions now I’m not mentally prepared for this eeeeeeeep
Hahaha…same here. Blank page.
but I hope for the best for all of us!! hoping we can all meet each other at Duke one day; most of you seem super nice and chill and we can all bond over our shared misery hahaha 
@stayshining and @sanjanagupta1 I also heard way back about some schools converting everyone’s GPA, but I did hear consistently from Duke AO when I visited the campus and when they visited our town that they just look at your GPA within the context of your school. The problem they said is that so many schools use different formulas, and there are too many applications now to go through a conversion process. I’ve heard this from other elite schools too. Georgetown AO visited and said an “A” at one school is not necessarily an “A” at another, so G-Town relies more on SAT Subject Tests and AP test scores. Don’t know if that’s really the case or not, but I’ve heard the conversion isn’t as common as it once was.
Hey Guys! I’m Maddy and I applied ED to Duke and im freaking out LOL!
I run track and the Duke coach said if i get accepted I’m on the team so does anyone else Run track or do any other sport? I also Just had my alumni Interview about a week ago did anyone else get one?
@maddyb577 does this “if accepted” condition give your application a boost? Are you a preferred walk-on? How exactly does that process work?
Does anybody know why the portal is now empty?
Seems Duke is updating admissions system. Hope we can receive result soon.
@Obliviostar I don’t think it give my application a boost but I’m not sure. I don’t know the kind of pull the coach has with the admissions people. Also it just means that I will be added to the roster immediately if I get accepted I don’t have to tryout or anything.
I also attended the Nike Track and Field camp at Duke over the summer so I was able to meet the coach and he got to see me run
@maddyb577 Hey! Im in same boat. I was invited for an official visit and have been communicating with the duke coach as well for track! They had limited supporting slots so he told me if I get accepted ED, I will be on the team automatically as well but he told me to include it in my application so admissions knows. Hope to be future teammates together!
@bostonmade2018 OMG! I’m so glad! What events do you do? My main event is 400IH but I also do the 4x4, 800, steeple and 55 Hurdles and 100 Hurdles. I’m a girl btw lol
@maddyb577 sprints, hurdles, and jumps! i’m a girl as well
