Duke ED Class of 2023 Discussion Thread

Is it bad that I didn’t get an interview?

Anyone else have like a really important week of school (lots of tests/exams) and not able to focus AT ALL haha

@kamalk where are you seeing information posted for the Parent ED Agreement ? The checklist is no longer visible.

mine says submitted. does this mean anything? @kamalk

@TeamBlessing on common app under recommendations and ferpa

I can’t focus on literally anything. I feel sick.

My IDOC documents haven’t been received though we submitted them last week… is that bad :confused:

@Poindexter No, interviews are purely geographical, doesn’t mean anything if you do or don’t get one.

@sanjanagupta1 someone else posted a message that if it says downloaded them it means you might be in, but then that person deleted the message. I think it shows submitted for everyone… Good Luck just one more day…

guys thinking about just clicking the button that says “view your application decision” makes me so scared idk what to do omg

@TeamBlessing its in your common app account and not the Duke portal

@kamalk mine used to say submitted now it says downloaded. do u think this means anything??

@sanjanagupta1 is it your counselor or parent ED agreement that says downloaded?

My counselor says downloaded but my parents says submitted

Only Counselor ED agreement needs to be download. Learn here how ED works: https://recsupport.commonapp.org/recommendersupport/s/article/How-ED-works-in-the-Common-App-online

@kaurae oh wait I meant the other way around. mine says submitted rn for my parents but downloaded for all other docs.

Do you all think any of these top schools that attract the best and the brightest like yourself would have a loophole (i.e. submitted, downloaded, etc.) That would allow you to figure out your decision before the official release? I don’t. The admissions teams at these schools are far too savvy for that.

less than a day now…

Hey guys I’m a freshman at duke and just wanted to let you know that the submitted versus downloaded isn’t a real thing. No ones says downloaded. In fact mine didn’t even say downloaded in April even though I was ED. There are no predictors you just have to wait until tomorrow. Just a heads up mine came out about 10 minutes early but I have a friend who was also accepted ED whose came out 25 minutes late so be ready for that. Finally, there is no “view decision” button it just pops up and the window automatically. Good luck and I second what others were saying. These past 4 months have been the best of my life and Im so glad I chose duke.

How many of you guys mentioned basketball in your why duke essay (kville/march madness) ? i’m really worried my app wont stand out bc it seems like everyone did
