Go to ND if you have the chance. You will not regret it.
actually duke puts more emphasis on academics,or extracurriculars or experience/essays?
since i know schools like vandy puts stats at the highest priority
not sure if duke works this way too…
7:37 and no notifications yet?? :-S
^ 7PM EST is when decisions are released.
Praying for acceptance
I’m logged in while I work and hitting refresh every once in a while, hoping they post it early.
@woeychan from my own experience, Duke’s emphasis on students is a little bit of everything you described. I have seen people with perfect or near perfect scores get rejected while those with lower (below 25%ile) grades and test scores are accepted. So I would say someone with average (according to Duke standard, that is) test scores and gpa but good essays & extracurriculars would have better chance than someone with better gpa and test scores but so-so essays/ECA’s, or vice-versa.
Good luck to all of you… this was just posted up by the Duke Chronicle… overall admit rate of 9.4%.
This reads like 28,000 RD applicants + the 3100 or so ED applicants total = approx 31K applicants …but I could be reading it wrong.
For the third consecutive year, Duke’s regular decision acceptance rate is in the single digits—coming in at 9.4 percent for the Class of 2019.
At 7 p.m. today, the University will release admissions decisions online to more than 28,000 applicants—and for 2,650 of them, the news will be good. An additional 69 students who were deferred from the early decision process will be accepted.
“There were some very difficult decisions we needed to make,” said Christoph Guttentag, dean of undergraduate admissions, in a Duke News release. "Most of the students applying to Duke are extraordinarily well qualified both in their academic credentials and their extracurricular accomplishments.
This year’s acceptance rate is up slightly from last year’s record low of 9 percent.
“We end up disappointing a good number of exceptional, deserving students, Guttentag said in the release. "With only 1,705 places in the class, we just don’t have the room for everyone who did their part to be a competitive applicant.
This year’s early decision process admitted 815 students, filling 48 percent of the total class.
Regular decision students have until May 1 to make their final decision.
Check back for updates on this developing story.
trying to read a book to calm myself down…
not working lol
@jasonkos same here lol. Shifted to FIFA now XD
anyone know how many were deferred from ED???
Well, if 3100 applied Ed and they only accepted 815 of them, 3100-815 = approximately 2285 that were deferred. @Hersheybar315
@safireonfire no, that isn’t how it works. Few are deferred ED. Most are either accepted or rejected.
@safireonfire I dont think they deffered everyone who didn’t get admitted on the ED round…
2,650.
How could I dream that I’m within that group among 28,000 applicants?
It just seems so impossible! >_<
@Hersheybar315: 598
@house17 haha I might as well go play some fifa. (or watch past episodes of suits :P)
@Hersheybar315 out of 3,180 ED aplicants, 815 were admitted and 598 deferred; the rest were denied admission.
