<p>I doubt any applicant, unless they are a recruited athlete has gotten a likley letter. They are mainly used as a tool to persuade students who otherwise may be snatched up by ivys to come to Duke. Since early descion is binding however, it is a slightly pointless exercise since anyone who has already applied has made a binding commitment to come to Duke.</p>
<p>No, does that exist??</p>
<p>My son has received a likely letter.</p>
<p>Anyone think Duke will release decisions Wednesday, December 12th? Last year they released it on a Wednesday</p>
<p>amdmom, stop lieing. Your son did not receive a likely letter.</p>
<p>I don’t think they would release the results on a Friday.There is always the possibility of cliches and imagine no one to talk to until Monday. I think it will be the 12th or 13th.</p>
<p>Why would they have likely letters for ED applicants? </p>
<p>What a joke.</p>
<p>They have likely letters for RD recruited athletes that have been coming out for the last couple of months.</p>
<p>^RD, I understand.</p>
<p>@amdmom,
When did your son receive a likely letter?</p>
<p>A couple of days ago. But let me clarify he is a student athlete.</p>
<p>@amdmom,
Did he apply Early Decision?</p>
<p>Yes he did.</p>
<p>@amdmom,
I just read your earlier posts and see that your son applied ED to Pratt. Good luck to him!
By any chance, did the likely letter provide any indication of the date Duke will be issuing its ED decisions?</p>

Thank you very much.
The letter mentions ‘mid-december’ (no date) regarding the ED decisions.</p>
<p>I know it’s a sample but the below link gives a pretty interesting, hilarious, and almost discouraging glimpse of how admissions “used to” (maybe it’s still the same) worked about 10 years ago:</p>

<p>Does anyone know if the December 10 RD deadline for interview priority is for just the common app or also the supplement? In other words, do I just need to submit my common application by Dec 10 or do I have to submit the Duke supplement too by then? Thanks!</p>
<p>@edown321, you need to submit the Duke supplement OR the student portion of the common app.</p>
<p>hauteStandard - just spent a long time reading Rachel Toor’s stuff. It’s exactly as you said - interesting, funny, and almost discouraging! Hard to read and not try to imagine where my son fits into the applicant pool. I tried to imagine his numbers (the 55344 thing) but he is one of the “engineering rounds”. Numbers driven. I like that. ;)</p>
<p>LosAngelesMom: ok thank you very much!!</p>
