<p>I may be totally paranoid, but when I load my Duke portal, for a split second in my URL it says <a href=“https://shib-external.oit.duke.edu/applicantdecision[/url]”>https://shib-external.oit.duke.edu/applicantdecision</a>. I don’t know if I am just paranoid, or if this is a sign that a decision was made for me. Probably the former and I hope it’s not the latter, because as a deferred early decision student, I probably was rejected if they have already made my decision.</p>
<p>My portal is also empty (unless I’m looking in the wrong place?) but two people I know have heard back already. I don’t think they were likelies?</p>
<p>Umm to be clearer, I get some ‘you don’t have the security to access this page’ violation when I try to access portal. But my portal is empty too? Anyone else similar ? Seems like a rejection or me haha if I can’t access the student page at all</p>
<p>My Duke University Applicant Self-Service is working. Is that what you guys are talking about? It shows what you have submitted. </p>
<p>(I received a likely letter from Duke. I don’t know if that makes a difference.)</p>
<p>By empty, I meant that the Self-Service page is working, but there is nothing to suggest that my application decision is ready. I can see all the things I’ve submitted and stuff like that.</p>
<p>Yep. That’s what I’m talking about. Mine was empty yesterday and a notice popped up saying that I didnt have access to the section. I think it had student homepage at the top</p>
<p>What do y’all mean by your portal being empty?
I’m an ED applicant that was defferred if y’all have any questions about what the site looks like when decisions are made.</p>
<p>^ If you could describe the change(s) that would be great!</p>
<p>I can still log into my portal, but nothing has changed. I can still view everything I’ve submitted for my application and financial aid, but there’s nowhere to view an admissions decision or anything.</p>
<p>WHAT WHAT!?!?!!! what’s going on with the portals omg I’m scared to check .__.</p>
<p>Annndddd just got my first rejection from Caltech -__- Duke is looking hopeless now.</p>
<p>They should not have any decision tab up yet. They didn’t have it available until the day decisions were released in December.
Sorry about Caltech. I thought about applying there because the tennis coach really wanted me to play for them and the volleyball coach expressed some interest, but decided it was too small for me and on the west coast. Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>um…not to add into the chaos, but i cant seem to gain access to my portal…I dont know if it is just me and the fact that Chinese internet connections can be a little screwy, or sth…</p>
<p>By “empty” I mean it literally only says “Student Homepage.” Then I press the backward and forward button and it’s normal. It’s probably just a screw up.</p>
<p>Wait. I can still access my portal and see everything I could see before (test scores, what I’m missing, etc.). I’m not understanding…is this a good or bad thing?</p>
<p>@collegeinfo1994,</p>
<p>I don’t think it means anything. I don’t know how my friends have heard back, but seeing as the portal is not showing any new news, RD decisions don’t seem to have been released yet for most people.</p>
<p>Ah, the usual pre-decision portal hysteria. Lol.</p>
<p>@APRookie,</p>
<p>As much as I hate it, being an applicant myself, there’s something about the communal frenzy and increasing anticipation that I have a soft spot for. :)</p>
<p>I do agree. :)</p>
<p>It’s a stressful time, but I won’t lie…I do take comfort in the fact that I am not the only one who is distressed!</p>
<p>Duke is a reach school for me. I would be very happily surprised if I was admitted.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what I thought. :)</p>
<p>Yep… my portal actually doesnt work. Keeps stating that I dont have the authority to access the student homepage. Can’t even see what I have/ havent submitted</p>
<p>Wait. Why is this happening? EA kids, give us some insight, please? What happened before you were accepted/ rejected?</p>
