<p>Since no one has started one up this year...I'll start it :)</p>
<p>Has anyone received a likely letter from Duke?</p>
<p>Any guesses when they'll be released?</p>
<p>Good luck to all, let this be a small distraction pending the April 1 release date</p>
<p>Curious to know too…:)</p>
<p>when are they supposed to come out? How rare are they?</p>
<p>Likely letters get sent to 200-300 students (so basically, it’d be presumptuous to expect one lol). They usually get sent out in early March.</p>
<p>last year they were received the last week of february…so this week. then scholarship notifications came out the first week of march</p>
<p>Is likely letter a letter or an email?</p>
<p>Has anyone received a likely letter or likely email from Duke?</p>
<p>I haven’t heard anything about likely letters from Duke yet. I didn’t even know they sent out likely letters! Crossing my fingers for any sort of semi good sounding information/letters!</p>
<p>I think I received a “Minority Likely Letter” today! I am so excited</p>
<p>@tiktok10 hey, congrats! what does it say? did you get it by mail or email?</p>
<p>I got my admission through email today. I also got nominated to be a finalist for the Angier B. Duke Memorial Scholarship. Today is a good day.</p>
<p>congrats TikTok and Vince! Good for you! You must be thrilled.</p>
<p>Care to post any stats to share? Have either of you received other admissions so far?</p>

Dear Prospective Blue Devil:</p>
<p>Greetings from Duke University! In recognition of your strong academic and extracurricular accomplishments, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the entire Duke community are thrilled to invite you to the 11th annual Latino Student Recruitment Weekend (LSRW), being held from April 8-11, 2010. During LSRW, you will join fellow Latino applicants from around the country and the world in an exploration of the amazing community that our talented and eclectic students have built over generations. </p>
<pre><code> Very shortly, you will be receiving a brochure in the mail that provides more detailed information about the weekend. You may respond to this invitation by visiting the LSRW Registration Web site at: (i took it out because i don’t think it should be posted) There you will be able to submit your on-line RSVP, tell us your travel plans, get a sneak peek at the invitational brochure and tentative schedule of events, and download the required liability form. Because we have a limited number of spaces available, please respond as soon as possible.
</code></pre>
<p>There was more stuff, but it wasn’t really pertinent.</p>
<p>Congrats Outofcash! That certainly sounds like a likely letter because of the whole ‘recruitment’ thing.</p>
<p>that’s what I got but I am worried to jump the gun… but if you got to the FAQ’s page on the website it says this</p>
<p>Naturally, inviting you to campus means that we think
you’re a very strong candidate for admission. Very occasionally,
something happens or we receive new information between
the time we mail our invitation and the time we finalize
admissions decisions, and we find we can’t admit someone
we’ve invited. But that’s very rare. Your chances of being
admitted are excellent. </p>
<p>AHHH so excited… I think haha</p>
<p>I got the email too!!!</p>
<p>is this an email or a letter? O.o</p>
