<p>Last night, I had a dream that I got deferred. I was about to cry and then I woke up. This waiting is driving me insane!</p>
<p>omg, keikblue2, i know exacly what you mean. i keep having these dreams about december tenth. in one dream, i couldn’t even muster up the courage to put in my username. i just sat there, looking at the screen, and then i ran away.</p>
<p>O_o…</p>
<p>at least you guys have been able to sleep!! i stay up for hours just thinking, oh crap what do i do if i don’t get in?</p>
<p>Oh man, you guys had better not apply to MD/PhD programs then…I don’t get some of my decisions until late march and I interviewed like a month ago O_o</p>
<p>Anyway, good luck to you guys, I remember how nerve wracking this was, especially at that last second when the decision letter page is loading at 6:01PM :/</p>
<p>15 days! aaaaand it’s 11:11 right now, so make a wish ;D</p>
<p>Good luck, guys! It really is a wonderful place. Can’t wait to see the class of 2014! :)</p>
<p>i’ve been playing 3 scenarios in my head since i submitted my apps!!
getting accepted, getting rejected, getting deferred
i wanna get in so badly, i havent even started thinking about other schools yet. i mean i have my list, but i haven’t done anything
plus i recently tore my ligament in my ankle playing rugby, so it makes me sit and day dream even more :S</p>
<p>i hope this 32% increase in applicants won’t hurt, but i’m stuck in the wrong pile (international students) :S</p>
<p>good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Less than two weeks away…</p>
<p>Yep. 12 days 8 hours ladies and gentlemen. I’d like to wish everyone good luck again. We’re beyond the point of being competition: we’re all in the same place (you know, except the ******* legacies and recruits :P), and we’re all probably feeling the same anxiety.
I honestly can’t wait for this day to come! Even a rejection will make me happy in a way: Every time I look at Duke I’m like “Omg this place is amazing” but I get a similar (though SLIGHTLY weaker) feeling looking at BU, my second choice. The colleges are so awesome but so opposite that it hurts my head not knowing which one I’ll be going to. On December 10 my mind will be at ease…unless I get deferred. >:O</p>
<p>Aw, I’ll miss this board when I get rejected. 
Haha this girl at my school got recruited by Duke. I wanted to beat her.
Ah I know what you mean Moxess! I have a really strong love for my 2nd choice, but obviously the feeling’s not as passionate because it’s not Duke. Sigh. 12 more days… I still haven’t even worked on my other college applications yet. Oh man, I’m so screwed.</p>
<p>I feel like getting deferred would definitely be worse than getting rejected. I’m sooo nervous, I haven’t done any other applications either, keiko. We can be screwed together :)</p>
<p>What’s with all the expectations of rejection? Take heart, your chances of getting in ED are much greater than for RD. </p>
<p>Besides, you should take the adage “expect the best, prepare for the worst” to heart. Expect to get in, but start working on those college apps in the meantime ;)</p>
<p>T-minus 10 days and counting</p>
<p>Good Luck everyone! My son has put these applications, especially to Duke (ED) out of his mind…so I’m the mom that’s freaking out, quietly.</p>
<p>Do any dads get as nervous as this mom?</p>
<p>7 days and 21 hours (for florida and the central time zone folk).
i can’t wait ya’ll, but im terrified that i won’t get in - even though ive always known its a long shot.
GOODLUCK!</p>
<p>Good luck to those Duke EDers!!! </p>
<p>My son applied to Duke RD so we have a couple of months to wait and to start worrying about. </p>
<p>May God bless you!</p>
<p>1 week 1 hour…</p>
<p>1 week, 16 minutes.
CA, pacific time.
i had a dream last night, where i was rejected. right after i read the letter, the dean comes up and tells me that, it was like a joke reading my app. i am not feeling well.
1 week 14 minutes now.</p>
