Official Fall 2018 Duke University Transfer Thread

Hi! So I didn’t see anything for the Fall 2018 transfers, so I decided to make a thread! This was made so applicants can connect and provide helpful tips/advice in anticipation of the release of admissions decisions. Good luck everyone!

It seems that back on May 11th, 2017 around 6 PM is when everyone received their decisions. So, potentially our date is May 10th, 2018 around 6 PM.

Hey there! Thanks for creating the thread and for the info. May 10th seems to be a common day for transfer admission notification with some selective colleges.

@SmartJarhead , another one for the bookmark :)) I enjoyed writing Duke’s essay, and have been learning a lot more about the university lately!

@AGoodFloridian Hey! We got a thread for Duke now that’s awesome!

@AGoodFloridian I loved writing the essays too! I felt like they offered me a better opportunity to show who I am and what I am capable of.

Any idea on when decisions will be released?

@thehoff007 Last year decisions were released May 11th, so we might hear back then, maybe sooner. It’s hard to tell but second week of May is always a safe bet!

I wish it was earlier… I have to give my replies to the colleges I was accepted to next week and the 7th

Hey did you guys submit a midterm report or a resume as additions to your applications? I submitted my midterm report but the AO said they only had my mid year report on file and the front desk woman was quite impatient lol

I didn’t submit anything except an update letter on my activities. On their website, it says that they are not considering resumes in the app process for this year.

Does anyone know when decisions will come out? I am trying to get this thread going lol

May.11th I guess

Word sounds good. Did you guys apply to Trinity or Pratt Engineering?

Does not seem like a lot of people apply to Duke for transfer, so this should be interesting.

I applied to Trinity!

I applied to trinity as well!

I applied to Pratt :)>-
6 more colleges left on my list!

I applied to Trinity as well! Hopefully not that many people applied this year since this thread has been kind of quiet haha Where are you all applying from?

Trinity

Trinity Anthropology

Anyone applied to Trinity Program II?
