Duke Fall 2015 Transfer

Anyone else trying to transfer to duke in the fall?

Applying too! Good luck.

Good luck to you too…Do you know when decisions come out?

No idea, looking at last year’s thread it was May 8th. I assume it’ll be around there, definitely before May 15th.

Applying!
Computer Science major. Currently a freshman.

I applied as an incoming junior for physics.

Does Duke have an application status portal? I think they said they communicate primarily by email, but they did give a link to a self-service page. I never received any credentials though.

You must have gotten email from siss-no-reply@duke.edu where they provide you with the portal account activation link.

Today I checked my portal and it says “You do not have any to-do’s at this time”, instead of the checklist there used to be. Is everyone getting the same message?

I don’t even have access to my portal. I resent a credentials request but got nothing. I guess I have to call them.

Didn’t have portal either.

anyone got any information when decisions come out?

@eyo777 I emailed the admission office and they sent me an activation email.

@jquery I called them earlier today, and they tried resending it but it just won’t show up in my inbox. I wanted to give them a separate email address but they said they didn’t know how to change it in the system. Then their office closed before I could resolve things, so I have to call them again tomorrow. :expressionless:

@eyo777 I activated according to their instructions but when I try to log in the username doesn’t work. I’m still contacting the IT department about it :frowning:

@jquery For me to change my email, they said I had to contact commonapp. Whaa…
Similar happened for to me for JHU, but they let me send them an alternative email just fine.

@eyo777 I’m really concerned because I’m worried about in case there are missing materials and it’s quite late now to resend them

@jquery Yeah, for sure. Is Duke your top choice? Are you applying to any other schools?

@eyo777 I called them today and it seemed they mixed up the email address I used for freshman application. I logged in successfully using the old email address and felt so grateful when I saw they have all of my materials.
I don’t have much preference over the 5 schools I’m applying to, and they are of similar selectivity, so I’ll be really happy if I can get in any one of them.

Got my portal. If everything’s completed, the to-do list should be empty, right?

@eyo777 Yes. If they have received everything, it must say “You do not have any to-do’s at this time”.
