<p>Hi!</p>

<p>Anyone else applying RD received the following email from Duke?:</p>

<p>[...]</p>

<p>However, if your travel schedule permits, we invite you to an earlier unique invite-only reception for this year’s most outstanding Duke applicants. You will receive a special welcome to campus and have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with a cross-section of Duke's most distinguished leaders and faculty. These special receptions include breakfast and begin at 11 a.m. on the first day of the April 11-12 and April 17-18 Blue Devil Days sessions. You’ll receive more information about the reception after you register</p>

<p>[...]</p>

<p>Does this imply acceptance or do they send this out to applicants randomly?</p>

<p>results out in less than 24 hours but still anxious >.<</p>

<p>Now I’m depressed. :/</p>

<p>It certainly sounds like a “likely” if you’re one of Duke’s “most outstanding applicants.”</p>

<p>I hope that the email is really just a ‘likely letter’ and not all the admits received it.</p>

<p>Well, all admits are invited to Blue Devil Days after they are admitted. The fact that the OP was invited to BDD early, and was invited to a special reception for being “outstanding”, suggests that certainly not all admits received it.</p>

<p>I think this is for special group of students, not for all. They want to give those students time to think and prepare to attend. Hopefully they will decide to choose Duke as their first choice by May 1.</p>

<p>I got the same thing. I got a likely letter in February though.</p>

<p>I got this too. Does this mean we are accepted?</p>
