Everyone has had the same status for a few days now, don’t worry, doesn’t mean anything.
we’ll find out prob tom when decisions are coming out. ugh the wait is excruciating
someone told me their college advisor called the admissions office and the office said they’re releasing decisions on the 13th at 7pm
Duke is operating under their Severe Weather Policy until Tuesday at 7 am. I think this means only Essential services are working tomorrow. So the notification email to let us know when to expect the decision date may be delayed??
When the portal stuff disappeared, I felt like they were possibly done with their decisions because in prior years that happened much closer to their announcing than it has this year. Many ED applicants are going to have a lot of apps to submit by 1/1, it’s difficult to motivate and make it convincing for other schools while you await your first choice. I hope that they release decisions as soon as they can, to give everyone maximum time for other applications. I’m sure Duke has seen that they have so many well qualified and deserving applicants, who unfortunately are going to have to look elsewhere soon.
The admissions office knew the storm was coming. Hopefully, they made plans to keep the timelines on track.
So email will still come out tmrw morning confirming the release date?
@collegeisstressful: My post was wishful thinking and speculation. We’ll see.
If Duke Admissions website says December 15th will be the release date, why do people here think it may be the 13th? Is it up in the air?
@kaleyssss: Below is the reason I think it is likely to be Thursday, 12/13 at 7pm. I posted this about 10 days ago:
I looked back at the ED release dates and thought you all might be interested:
2017 - Class of 2022 - Thursday, 12/14
2016 - Class of 2021 - Wednesday, 12/14
2015 - Class of 2020 - Thursday, 12/10
2014 - Class of 2019 - Thursday, 12/11
2013 - Class of 2018 - Thursday, 12/12
2012 - Class of 2017 - Thursday, 12/13
The date is typically released by email to the applicants about a week before the decisions are posted.
Based on this history, I would guess the decisions will be released on Thursday, 12/13 at 7pm.
@Doublekk2 As you said “The date is typically released by email to the applicants about a week before the decisions are posted.” But there no email from Duke yet about the release date
@kamalk: You are correct. My post was based on the historical pattern. There is no guarantee, only a likelihood based on history. Others have indicated that the email came a few days before.
I posted the data so readers could come to their own conclusions, and as evidence for why I think it will be 7/13. Good luck to everyone!
I looked on Duke’s website about the weather today, and it looks like a lot of Duke will be open – possibly with modified hours. If anyone gets any kind of an email stating that we will find out this Thursday, please post it. The emails might be sporadic. Thanks.
According to last year’s thread, we are most likely to receive an email 1:00 pm EST today.
Waiting for Duke to release their decisions is unbearable! I really hope that the snow does not have any effect on the decision date. Good luck to you all!
@gnr283 my guess is that they already made pretty much all their decisions and should be released by thursday. I’m freaking out waiting!
Did anyone get an email?
I have nothing yet
Im refreshing my email constantly
No email
