The Official Duke RD '14 Waiting Room

<p>i havent seen any westcoasters get it though. so ocgirl chillax for now :smiley: maybe tomrorow! ): im waiting too</p>

<p>Has anyone from Texas got one yet?</p>

<p>Kinda pointless sending them now though, I mean with Monday being like SOON?</p>

<p>And that’s another thingg – WHY MONDAY?! :S</p>

<p>Srrinath,</p>

<p>I tried contacting the Admissions office like thrice so far about my recent achievements, but I haven’t gotten a reply yet.</p>

<p>Do you think thats k or should I try phoning them or something??</p>

<p>@5up3rG: Haha I’m losing a bit of hope… looks like a few people from the midwest got theirs today. So that leaves Friday and Saturday…</p>

<p>Whatever! Everything will be out by next Monday anyway.
( :</p>

<p>I am freaking out soo much and its crazy… Ive been especially obsessed with duke the past few weeks since i got waitlisted at my other two schoolS!</p>

<p>what is a ā€œURMā€ aND I DIDNT GET ONE EITHER.</p>

<p>@ blissfulting: You’re RIGHT girl~/guy~ haha </p>

<p>@XoKiwiKisses: I got mine at 5:19 </p>

<p>The one thing I would like to vent about on here is that, even if I don’t get accepted to Duke, I’ve already gotten accepted to a great school: UT AUSTIN! and Maybe into their Hindu/Urdu language flagship which is such an opportunity. </p>

<p>And I’m SURE all of y’all have been accepted to great universities! I’m not trying to BRAG, but just APPLYING to Duke makes us special! :slight_smile: GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p>@ bibsuv: Wait, you got the letter today? As in it wasn’t an email? Congrats! :)</p>

<p>Anddd high five on the UT Austin thing! I applied to the Hindu/Urdu program too. What school did you get into?</p>

<p>@mathlvr: I’m not sure why you’re asking me specifically but my answer is that it depends on how recent these achievements and your correspondence to the admissions office was. If it was anytime after mid-March, you can safely assume that it no longer will have relevance to your admissions decision because by that point, the committee starts wrapping up its work. If it was prior to early-March, you can assume they’ve taken note of said achievements even if they haven’t replied to your mail. It’s a little futile in either case to expect a reply from them at this late stage.</p>

<p>@ srrinath: She asked you because you’re sucha pro at college admissions :P</p>

<p>I sent in ma stuff in mid - Feb. I think that should be ok right??</p>

<p>And good luck guys…</p>

<p>@XoKiwiKisses: 5:19 is the time that the email about my PIN and password came! Not my ACCEPTANCE letter… I misunderstood your question. At UT, I am going to be in the College of Natural Sciences? My major right now is pre-pharm, but I think I’m going to change it to a double major in Chemistry/Biology! What about you? :)</p>

<p>EDIT: AND OHHEY! DO YOU NEED A ROOMATE? Bahahhahaha…for UT…I haven’t found anyone…</p>

<p>Decisions have already been made… Why must they wait until Monday to release them??? They just enjoy torturing us… Ugh…</p>

<p>I think they timed it to be in between the Ivies and the schools that are releasing at the end of this week (most of their peer institutions fall into either category).</p>

<p>I just want to know. And its nerve racking to know the decision has been made but i cant know it yet…kinda like SAT scores, only worse. anyways good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I am nervously waiting for Monday… I don’t really know why I applied, though. I will never be able to afford Duke.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone else!</p>

<p>^Ha yeah, it seems like getting in is the relatively easy part. Now I have to find a way to pay $50,000 a year w/no FA…</p>

<p>^I don’t have financial aid either, and there is no way my parents can afford the $50,000+ it will take to attend, especially with two children in college. I’ve been working on every scholarship I can get my hands on, but I’m afraid it won’t be enough.</p>

<p>Same as everyone else -</p>

<p>My parents said that they’re willing to pay half, and that we should take out a loan for the other half.</p>

<p>Haha I already see more than a decade in debt coming up for me - I want to go to med school too. ( :</p>

<p>i just got waitlisted by UVA</p>

<p>wow there goes my chances at duke or any of the ivies :(</p>
