Likely Letter!

<p>I'm also from florida, no word. Although I'm nothing spectacular. 35 ACT(32 Eng, 34 Math, 36 Reading, 36 Sci), 800-Math II, 770-Math I, 740-Bio(M). No class rank. 4.5 WGPA. ECs are half decent. Applied to pratt tho, donno if that has something to do with it.</p>

<p>Nothing spectacular? Your stats are better than mine and probably one of the best here.</p>

<p>Hey DBS, we have very similiar stats and I also applied to Pratt. Another kid from my school got a likely letter, but I did not. Congrats to all those who were accepted.</p>

<p>i got a letter too, but i don't think numbers are the sole criterion for getting one of these. i don't consider myself to have a hook so yeah i guess its just all it says it is - a letter to the top 350 applicants (top in a holistic sense)</p>

<p>I got mine in the mail some time this weekend.</p>

<p>SEW, you're in LA, right? So the letters have reached the west coast? Hmmmm....</p>

<p>yup, 10 char</p>

<p>hey anyone who got a likely letter was it on your personal website? if it is please tell! since im in cali maybe i can see if its on there</p>

<p>^I doubt it. I don't think the admission office would waste their time posting the likely letter on the website.</p>

<p>i'd give it a couple more days for us west coasters. If we don't get one, we'll prolly havta wait for another wave of likely letters, or until the actual decision time.</p>

<p>Is it possible that east coasters can get another wave of likely letters if they don't get one?</p>

<p>Yes, mine didn't come until the first week in March. Don't worry if you don't get one; only 2% of applicants get them and a much larger percentage is accepted.</p>

<p>i got one, surprising since I didn't do an interview and all that jazz. Certainly not a bad feeling :p</p>

<p>congrats icefalcon!</p>

<p>i'm from az... i guess you might get yours soon then if you are in CA! haha
oh for ppl who wanted stats...3.96...34...1540/2300...2 national level hooks</p>

<p>it's funny that they only send out 300 something letters, but so many people on here have gotten them already. Shows what genious all you CCers are!</p>

<p>well, judging by the rosters here, the tippy-top of the Duke applicant pool seems to frequent this board....</p>

<p>I'd be seriously intimidated if the stats posted on the roster were of the "average" Duke applicant.</p>

<p>Hey icefalcon,
I got the letter today and I haven't gotten an interview either. I guess were just so good that they don't even need an interview to admit us. Are you just forgetting about asking for an interview? I think I am.</p>

<p>congrats testace. What state are you from?</p>

<p>You could say the same for 99% of the admitted class. Interviews at Duke aren't normally a factor in admissions, hence the reason why they are optional.</p>
