<p>Applied ED and still haven't got it.</p>
<p>However, Duke has sent me several emails that confirm the receipt of my app.
One of them was also about how my app was "incomplete" but i clarified that.</p>
<p>Anyway, on 12th November they did say that the id will be sent "soon". How long should i wait before i start panicking?</p>
<p>That’s strange…I got my ID 3 or 4 days after applying.</p>
<p>ikr!</p>
<p>I submitted the app along with the writing supplement on November 3 and common app says that it was downloaded on the 4th.</p>
<p>i sent them an email with a casual reference regarding this on the 20th, but am yet to receive a response.</p>
<p>Phone calls can be more effective than emails - politely insist on speaking with someone and don’t just leave a voice message.</p>
<p>And be patient - they are busy this time of year, especially with a week’s delay due to the Common App issues.</p>
<p>Have you checked the spam folders of your inbox?</p>
<p>rmldad - I’m not in the USA so the long distance call is kinnda an issue</p>
<p>Purpleacorn - yup i did. nothing!</p>
<p>i guess i’ll wait another week before i actively start emailing the admissions office again.</p>
<p>is it possible that my app already got “rejected” by the regional officer, since they can do that due to the new system duke uses… that would be very unfortunate…</p>
<p>Email the regional officer and check in, then. The office is probably SWAMPED at this point.</p>
<p>I ended up using the “resend” feature on their site to send myself the activation email!</p>
<p>now my financial aid app is shown as “incomplete” i guess i’ll wait till the 2nd to clarify that…</p>
<p>many thanks for everyone’s comments!</p>
