<p>On the page timeline it says December 15th, but in emails it says mid-December. Anyone know?</p>
<p>December 15th. Last year, they released them early on the 12th. But since they had to extend the deadline, I doubt that will happen this year.</p>
<p>However, please remember two important facts:
- Twenty-six percent increase in Duke’s ED application this year (in comparison to 2012).
- 2013 submission deadline was extended, due to the Common Application’s software problems.
Therefore, while I have no specific knowledge concerning when ED decisions will be released, I would not be surprised if it were a few days later then last year’s. Simply stated, many more applications and a week (or more) delay may well mean that the final Committee decisions necessarily slip slightly.</p>
<p>It has always been between the 10th and the 15th. Considering that the 15th is a Sunday, I would expect to know sometime between December 10 and 13.</p>
<p>Does Duke email decisions, or do they snail mail it? Do we check the portal?</p>
<p>Portal I believe</p>
<p>All of the above. You should get an email notification to check your profile and they’ll also mail you the same letter that day</p>
<p>Office of Admissions (spoke with them yesterday) says you will be notified by email with instructions electronically.</p>
<p>And this is on the 15th?</p>
<p>By the 15th.</p>
<p>Not that it matters but 2013’s deadline was extended because of Hurricane Sandy, not any technical issues. </p>
<p>Good luck 2014!</p>
<p>Bummed into a friend whose daughter is a current sophomore at Duke who said she read in some on-campus literature that ED notification will be 12/14 this year….anyone heard this?</p>
<p>Possible, but December 14 is a Saturday.</p>
<p>don’t think that matters since it’s all done electronically</p>
<p>Duke has never released ED decisions on the weekend or a friday for the past years. According to old ED threads, the notification dates were as follows:
2012- 12th Wednesday
2011- 14th Wednesday
2010- 14th Tuesday
2009- 10th Thursday
2008- 11th Thursday
2007- 10th Monday
2006- 14th Thursday
Even though Duke had to delay apps this year, because of hurricanes and snow storms apps have been delayed the past couple years and decisions still came out on time. My bet is on next Thursday at 6:00 pm, which means just under a week! Although, with the app increase they may need to go against the system.</p>
<p>Very nice analysis.</p>
<p>wow- @rubyfriday - how did you find that out?? Fingers crossed for 12/12!</p>
<p>Ever year prior to this one there has been a early decision discussion thread and everyone freaks out about decision dates. Since I’m absolutely crazy about Duke, I went back and checked (I’ve been lurking for years, but just joined today).
We’ll probably get an email tomorrow or the beginning of next week giving us the exact date and time.</p>
<p>Thanks for that ruby friday. Glad to know it will likely be sooner than expected in order to calm my nerves a bit…</p>
<p>Emails are out! Next Thursday starting at 6! So nervous!</p>
