Official Fall 2018 Duke University Transfer Thread

Agreed it isn’t hacking but it is a deliberate attempt to circumvent their process. Having recently spent some time with their AOs I am virtually positive they would share my old school view.

Proceed as your own peril. Also if your going to do so I would include discriptions such as I am at Ohio State on a public forum. Makes it kind of easy to back track and find the person.

Anyone else applying as a physics major?

i apply as a physics major

Just a couple more days now!! And yet I’m still so impatient :(( Do we know how many applicants they’re accepting this year?

I would say 80+ since Duke is currently expanding their transfer class. After being waitlisted by Columbia, I feel like waiting is even more painful…

Less than 24 hours!! Hopefully the quiet nature of this thread means not as many people applied this year… How are you all passing the time? I have finals but it’s so hard to stay focused :frowning:

Daydreaming about being rejected:)

@avocadough I am in the same boat as you. I had two finals but all I am thinking about is transferring. Well, 18 more hours to go!!!

@FutureIbanker/hfmanager Hopefully all the waiting is worth it… I guess we’ll know soon :,) Also since we applied to some of the same schools-- have you heard back from any yet?!

@avocadough I got rejected from Northwestern, UChicago, and UVA-McIntire. I’m still waiting on Penn, Dartmouth, Brown, Duke, BC, WashU, UMich- Ross

Good Luck Today Everyone!!!

I have been rejected to Columbia, U Chicago, and Cornell :frowning:

Waiting on Responses from Duke, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and Princeton.

Accepted: Rutgers University (Full-Ride)

Applying as a CS major to Trinity.
Community College GPA: 4.00 ~ 50 + Credit
HS GPA: 3.5
ACT: 31 Composite (Taken this February for the first time)

Extracurricular: Undergraduate research at a National Lab, Honors Society, Community Service, and all that good stuff.

Recommendations: From two professors who know me well, along with my advisor from the National Lab

Hooks: I have a good story - did not do well in high school for medical reasons. Essays were fairly strong.

Biggest weakness: White and Middle Class

I hoping for an acceptance into one of my reach schools, but If not – I am fine with attending state college and making the best out of the opportunities in the future.

Once again good luck!

I wonder why a lot of people applied to cornel transfer but duke has very few transfer applicants, comparatively. Both schools are similar right (ranking wise at least)

Cornell has guaranteed transfers (students who applied as a freshman out of high school can receive this option ) which is why Cornell has such a high acceptance and application volume in general.

Cornell is transfer friendly whereas most other top universities specifically are not due to their low acceptance rates. Good luck all! Princeton announces decisions today as well! Even though I already SIR to Cal, super nervous to hear from these two and Stanford!!

Yeah I think the other one reason for Cornell having higher acceptance rates is that they offer many GT?..

@choser We are in the same condition I got rejected from same schools and I am waiting for same schools as you are. I am currently attending the school that you got in so (RU). Good luck.

@deliciousSteak definitely the GTs…

I really hope that not many people applied for Duke transfer and by looking how dead this thread was, it looks like there aren’t that many applicants. Hopefully, that raises our chances of acceptance. Just 2 more hours.

FutureBanker good luck!!! Either way given your obvious enthusiasm, passion and persistence you have great things ahead. Would be great to have you join my son at Duke!

@Nocreativity1 I really hope me and your son get in
