<p>Does anyone know when Duke will send out its RD letters?</p>
<p>I've heard that RD decisions will be up online next Wednesday.. if it's like ED, those who live close to Duke should receive the letter in the mail the day after while those who live farther away should receive it by the following Monday.</p>
<p>does anyone know how many people got waitlisted this year at duke or what the stats have been like for previous years?</p>
<p>I think there were fewer applicants than last year, but I got in. :)</p>
<p>Yes, there were fewer applicants than last year, but according to the office of undergrad admissions, this year was still second on the record in terms of the number of applicants, after last year (naturally). So congratulations and give yourself a pat on the back for getting in. :D</p>
<p>Got into Pratt but not so much luck at some other top colleges.... Hope this helps give some guidelines or ideas for those who havent heard</p>
