The Official Duke RD '14 Waiting Room

<p>well, i got rejected from UVA so… yeah.</p>

<p>Yeah, since Duke requires SAT reasoning tests which I haven’t taken, should I pretty much just assume that they rejected me?</p>

<p>(don’t say “IDK”, give me the blunt truth)</p>

<p>They require SAT reasoning plus 2 SAT subjects or you could have just taken the ACT with writing.</p>

<p>for the love of God, just DON’T waitlist me Mr. Guttentag…
All or nothing baby; don’t put this tea kettle on the back burner</p>

<p>and Stupefy, i wouldn’t stress about UVA. most likely, they understand that you’re qualified enough to go to some good schools and prolly won’t hit them up, so they want to reserve your spot for someone who probably will attend. it’s the truth, right? you consider them your safety, and if a Duke acceptance lands in your mailbox, your line of sight is gonna shift from VA to NC. anyway, look at who did get accepted & you’ll probably feel better about it</p>

<p>@sixstring91 Haha! Way to say it like it is.</p>

<p>

aha thank you, I really hope you’re right :D</p>

<p>stupefy, where have you got in so far?</p>

<p>haha stupefy u’r in the same boat as me. i got into MIT (sloan. i lucked out. not going there), bowdoin, northwestern, uchicago etc etc and got waitlisted at uva. hahaha. They probably waitlisted us coz they were sure we wouldn’t land up going there. relax.</p>

<p>

Just NYU stern, UVA was my second school to released decisions. I was deferred yale EA, and now I’m still waiting on 6 ivies, duke, georgetown and williams</p>

<p>

Wow. that’s very relieving. congrats on MIT thats awesome!</p>

<p>you know the ironic part ? uva was supposed to be my backup. lol.</p>

<p>this is very encouraging!</p>

<p>So far I’ve been accepted into UNC and rejected by MIT, Chicago, and Stanford. </p>

<p>Hopefully I’ll hear good news from Duke and the Ivies…</p>

<p>

same. hopefully I won’t need it</p>

<p>I don’t know if somebody posted this, but if I am a minority and I did not get a letter to the minority recruitment weekend, should I just consider myself rejected?</p>

<p>Yeah…idk I really hope Duke takes me.
So far, I got UCLA and UChicago…rejected from MIT and Stanford
Waitlisted at Caltech.</p>

<p>Apparently I got rejected by Berkeley, but I’m going to appeal because its just…really weird how I got rejected.</p>

<p>I guess that sorta proves college admissions is just completely random. Good luck everyone!!</p>

<p>lol ashwin xD ur still going off bout ur cal case. well… i igot rejected too. pretty much same scores. maybe not as good ECs as u have… but i totally didnt expect it either…</p>

<p>^LOL you know it! ;]</p>

<p>I’m only going to drop the case if I get into Duke or Cornell.
Princeton is a wild card. I lost hope lol.</p>

<p>Hey guys, what does your DUKE financial aid tracking system show? Does it show anything waived?</p>

<p>@*400#, what do you mean “waived”?</p>

<p>My financial aid tracking system looks the same as when I checked it after I submitted it. The green check marks showing confirmation are there.</p>

<p>The tracking system shows a lot of international students’ Parents IT/Earning statement forms waived! Why would they waive it?</p>
