<p>i was just contacted by a duke alumnus for an interview literally 15 minutes ago. It seems a lot of them like to put it off. don't count yourself out just yet if you haven't been contacted.</p>
<p>my D just got contacted this afternoon and the interview is tomorrow at 4pm! but what i don’t understand is that on the website they said" if you r not contacted by the 02/05/08, don’t hope anymore for an interview… today is 02/06/09! the alumni said to my D (on the phone) that she got lucky because not everyone got to have an interview!! that is BS because all the kids in my D’s hs have been contacted long time ago… the only one missing was her…</p>
<p>same here i just got a call for a duke interview like 20 minutes ago, but i thought we had to turn in the common app before dec 1st to get a interview, but my app was turn in on jan 2nd LOL</p>
<p>Let’s keep in mind that the alum interviewers are volunteers. And further, that application numbers were up nearly 20%…</p>
<p>The deadline to turn in interview write ups is coming up. The alums contacting you may have just finished their previously assigned interviews and agreed to take on “just one more” before the deadline. They may also have had your contact information for a month and not gotten around to calling. You’ll never really know.</p>
<p>My D turned in her app before the deadline but hasn’t been called for an interview. We assumed it was because there weren’t any alums living in our city. Nice to hear there is still a chance someone will contact her.</p>
<p>I just got contacted for an interview TODAY. I applied 12/1/08 to Pratt. Gonna do it tomorrow.</p>
<p>D just got called 15 minutes ago and she will interview on the 18th!</p>
