I recently received a letter from Duke (only two weeks before notification date this Thursday) saying that they “enthusiastically expect” to offer admission and inviting me to the Blue Devil Days. It never had the word “likely” in it, but seemed to be pretty clear for the most part. Does anyone know if this is basically the non-Ivy equivalent of a likely or if it’s just more bulk mailing?
Yes, that is a likely letter. Duke really wants you! Congratulations. For anyone else, don’t panic–most successful admittees DO NOT get likely letters. Good luck to everyone.
Congrats! Welcome aboard, fellow Dukie! >:)
Wow that sounds great. Were you invited to the BSAI event ? Or is this something different?
It wasn’t BSAI, just an early invitation to Blue Devil Days I guess
Nice work - would you mind posting the content of the letter (after redaction)?
