Duke RD Applicants for Class of 2016!

<p>Around what time do you think they’ll release the decisions?</p>

<p>@indiranger</p>

<p>6PM EST</p>

<p>So, if someone gets waitlisted off the RD cycle…what exactly would be the point in that? Most schools have already started the process of taking care of getting things set up for their incoming freshman class…setting up your class schedule events, etc.</p>

<p>??</p>

<p>^ In most cases the things you described (class registration, etc.) don’t occur until at least mid-late May…</p>

<p>Good luck everyone! </p>

<p>My D was accepted ED, and we logged into her account around 5 pm. Tried desperately to wait an hour… checked the computer at 5:45 and the decision had magically appeared!! It was truly a memorable moment, watching my daughter’s shock and thrill at the same time!!!</p>

<p>I hope you all will experience the same feelings today!!!</p>

<p>Thank you for your well wishes, SouthFloridaMom.</p>

<p>OMG! The waiting area in the portal is now active.</p>

<p>Hey all! I was accepted ED at Duke this year, and I wanted to just drop by and wish you all LUCK tonight. You’ve done everything possible, so just sit back and go along for the ride. All of us are empathisizing with you–we remember the angst! We can’t wait to meet all the new additions to the class tonight! Don’t forget to join the Facebook page if you enroll!</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL :)</p>

<p>Just like Tojoursduke, I was also accepted ED this year and want to wish you guys the best of luck! Remember that whatever happens says nothing about your achievements, character or qualifications. I’ll never forget what it felt like on the day of my decision so I completely know how it feels, but just keep cool and hope for the best. I cannot wait to meet you guys! If all goes well and you decide to enroll, join the facebook page. It’s really helpful!</p>

<p>Once again, GOOD LUCK. I have my fingers crossed for all of you!</p>

<p>Toujoursduke and dleftyguitar, THANK YOU for the well-wishes; I really, really do appreciate it, as I’m sure other RD’ers on this board do as well. </p>

<p>Whether or not I join you guys at Duke, Congratulations on your ED acceptance to Duke. </p>

<p>Have FUN in Durham, and hopefully I can join you guys.</p>

<p>@Toujoursduke and dleftyguitar, Thanks so much! I REALLY need it, I’m confident I won’t get accepted, as many other elite schools have rejected me already.</p>

<p>hopeful1993, be HOPEFUL of your chances; all school’s admissions departments work in differant ways. The schools where you were rejected, may have been looking for a certain type of student and you weren’t it. At Duke, they may be looking for a student like YOU! So, be confident, and ride the roller coaster to 6 P.M. Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>On a side note, DAMN only 3105 students were accepted, which is a 11% acceptance rate.</p>

<p>Thanks WhatsaUsername, I’ll try my best to be confident and calm. I knew when I applied to these schools that there was a very slim chance of me getting in, but I decided to try anyways.</p>

<p>Yes, it’s so damn competitive. I hate the admissions process.</p>

<p>You’ll all do wonderfully wherever you go! The next two hours are going to be wild: you’ll sweat, you’ll scream (either way), you’ll cry (either way) and you’ll keep trotting along either way! </p>

<p>My advice: get some REALLY CALM MUSIC on during the next hour or so… Memoirs of a Geisha, Gregorian Chant etc. Take a walk to relieve some stress, take a shower or work out. And, be at your computer at 5:45! That’s when the ED results were published!</p>

<p>I can’t wait to meet all of you who choose to enroll tonight! </p>

<p>Ahhhhhh, 118 minutes to go! :)</p>

<p>Ah, I won’t be able to check my decision right when it comes out, I’ll be in class. Crap…</p>

<p>Ask to go to the bathroom, lol. :)</p>

<p>We’re on SPRING BREAK! So, I’ve been off this entire week, and go back on Monday.</p>

<p>Hopefully when I go back, I can call myself a BLUE DEVIL!</p>

<p>Just kidding I miscalculated the time change! I’ll be out!</p>

<p>Oh, okay, then. GOOD LUCK! :)</p>

<p>97 MINUTES!!!</p>
