Duke ED Class of 2023 Discussion Thread

@froshusa supposedly Duke doesn’t care about the number of other student applicants from your school

how much does duke look at what major you put down on your application?

@violinlover3 hopefully a lot. what did you major in?

Stanford will release EA tomorrow - 12/7
Cornell - 12/10
Columbia -12/13

Princeton’s are 12/12. My friend applied.

Wish Duke can let us know earlier…

@sanjanagupta1 sociology! if I get into duke, I want to double major in neuroscience and sociology. what about you?

@violinlover3 oh that’s so interesting! im majoring in classical studies but idk if im gonna do that throughout college yet

@mogs20201 so far I’ve submitted my apps to northwestern, Vanderbilt, upenn, BC, bing (accepted) & tulane. applying to other top tier schools and mid tier ones

@sanjanagupta1 I almost applied ED northwestern, great school. If I don’t get in ima have so many apps to write lmao rip.

@obliviostar I’ve held off on submitting apps due after I hear back from Duke, I’ve procrastinated Georgetown and Brown so much

@Obliviostar yes it’s pretty similar to duke I feel like in ways like the social scene. I have so many to write too ugh like 15 more

@frzngrapes33 brown’s supps are so annoying

none of you guys have recieved an email yet right?

nah not yet. Last year they recieved an email on Monday that they would be able to see their decisions on that Thursday.

Then notice on Monday that the decision would come on Thursday seems more probable than today.

Durham is expected to get a good bit of snow on Sunday. NC does not keep the road clearing equipment on hand that northern states do, so snow can have work or school cancelled for a couple of days until the roads are clear. I’m not sure if this could affect Duke’s timeline for sending out that email.

Apparently some people received a letter in the mail from Duke stating the amount of ED applicants this year?

@bludreamer My daughter is a legacy and applying ED. The alumni association sent us a letter stating the # of applicants were up 20% from last year, from ~4000 to ~4800.

Thanks for letting us know! Do you think it is a positive sign? because I am a regular applicant applying ED and did not receive that letter
