Shall we begin an official ED countdown?

<p>I'm getting kind of excited... and I can't believe it's so soon. I mean, next week I have trimester exams and Thanksgiving break, the week after I'm going on a band trip, and the week after that we could potentially find out (hope, so- the sooner the better)! But going with the latest possible date of December 15, let's say 28 days! Hooray! How are you all doing with the waiting anxiety?</p>

<p>i can’t wait. i can’t.</p>

<p>i’m sooo excited! i don’t know what im going to do!!! are they going to send emails when the decisions are up or should we just start checking early December?</p>

<p>I’ve had this anxiety since freshman year!!! My dad went to Duke, my uncle went to Duke, I have breathed Duke my entire life. Now that it’s less than a month away, I can’t even believe it. It doesn’t even seem real!!! On one hand, I don’t wanna think about it because then I get freaked out, but I can’t stop thinking about it!!! So nervous…
And also, I haven’t started any other applications, so if I don’t get in, those last two weeks in December will be torture haha</p>

<p>The site where we would check our decisions says they’ll be available at 6:00 p.m. on December 10, 2009.</p>

<p>wow, we can get the answer in 22 days?! i’m so anxious and excited!</p>

<p>Are you sure it isn’t December 15th?</p>

<p>I am worried about some of you kids- with such low acceptance rates it means getting in has as much to do with luck as anything else. So please prepare yourself for the possibility of not getting in. Then, if you are accepted it will be a wonderful surprise, and if you aren’t, your world won’t fall apart.</p>

<p>WHOA biner, where/how did you find that site?! -has a minor freakout- the sooner the better haha.</p>

<p>hahaha yeah i had december 15th marked on all my calendars and i went through and changed it all to the 10th and now it says d-day on all of them</p>

<p>tungsten - I dug it up from an old CC thread. It’s the first result when you Google “Duke decision online.”</p>

<p>i’m worried that i was already rejected</p>

<p>that i was in that pile that was rejected by the first regional reader and am not even up for consideration by the committee</p>

<p>21 days guys! Get excited! I don’t even feel like we’re competition anymore. We’ve all gone through the apps, jumped through the hoops of getting teacher recs and stuff, and now we all just have to wait. Good luck to everyone…including myself. :P</p>

<p>When do we find out our Pin and stuff?</p>

<p>on the website that biner posted (<a href=“https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=duke-u[/url]”>https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=duke-u&lt;/a&gt;) it says they’ll e-mail up the pin and password on december 7th</p>

<p>dang it… i cant breathe…
i am so worried.</p>

<p>I’m hoping for the best and expecting the worst. That way, I won’t be surprised. (Maya Angelou’s Caged Bird, anyone?)</p>

<p>OMG I’m so nervous and excited I can hardly wait. And I’ve told myself over and over again that the world will NOT end when I don’t get into Duke but it will be a crushing blow nonetheless. Plus I havn’t worked on any of my other college applications at all since work has been so hectic as well. This is driving me insaneeeeeeee!!! Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>20 DAYS! the worst part is that I have exams to study for, and this duke excitement is quite distracting :&lt;/p>
