Couldn’t agree with you more. I would’ve thought that Admissions departments would have a heightened awareness of the excessive stress that students have had to endure this past year.

Completely agree. The kids (and parents) would like to start making decisions, housing arrangements etc etc and we can’t do that without decisions.

It won’t be later than 4/6, I’d assume that date and be pleasantly surprised if you hear earlier.
Amen!
well, someone here on the thread said that they called the admissions office and they said it would be out around Easter. So for me, I’m not expecting the decisions to come out for another week or two; especially with putting the fact the Duke usually releases decisions with the ivies in mind.

Based on the reference in the application confirmation email, the plan has always been to announce next Thursday, 4/1. So, I would expect it to be the same or earlier unless they send an email update (and I would have expected that to already come like the ones from the Ivy League schools that noted a delay to 4/6).
"Your 2020-2021 Regular Decision application to Duke University has been received. We’re delighted you applied and look forward to reviewing your application.
Between now and the April 1 admissions decision announcement date, we will send a number of important messages that may require further action on your part."
What important messages have they sent you that required action on your part?
It notes “may require”. My understanding is that is in reference to if you are missing some items (eg. Mid-Year Report from school) or need to update financials.
I did call the AO and they said a rather non-committal response: Last week in March…

Woah when did you call?
Yes, waiting anxiously to hear from Emory in about an hour and 20 minutes!
Last week
On the discoverduke instagram page, if you click the photo with the woman sticking her tongue out, they claim they will release the date in April in the comments.

Is making virtual tour for the college going to make difference in the decision?
The only formal/official input is the date of April 1st sent on the application confirmation email. Duke University Class of 2025 — Regular Decision - #167 by hope777believe
I would think if it was delayed (later) that they would have sent a formal email like the Ivy Leagues did.
Hello. I’ve send an email to Duke yesterday asking about the decisions date. Unfortunately, they tell me this: “ By mid April.
