<p>I got a likely letter (Hawaii). I'm stoked.</p>
<p>Congrats everyone. Hope those letters convince you to choose Duke.</p>
<p>Got a likely letter. I'm in the northern widwest.</p>
<p>congratulations to everyone who got likely letters!! i don't know if they send likelies to international students but i seriously doubt i would have gotten one anyway...gonna have to wait a few weeks longer for a decision</p>
<p>New Yorkers? Anyone received a letter? There must be someone from NY who got one and who is on CC.......</p>
<p>I applied to trinity and got one.</p>
<p>I desperately want one...</p>
<p>How many of you "likely" receivers know you will be choosing Duke?</p>
<p>no letters from the New York/ NJ area yet? Anyone on CC from NY who is still waiting/expecting one?</p>
<p>Any of you who got LL is also waiting for Robertson notification?</p>
<p>10 on CC so far...</p>

<p>I was going to say maybe they haven't reached the West Coast yet, but 2 people haven't gotten them from Cali and Hawaii. Plus, it's been another day, and no one else from the West Coast added on.</p>
<p>an NJ or NY likelies yet? i assume theyve been recieved already, those people probably juts havent visited the forum yet</p>
<p>I'm from New York and I got a likely on Tuesday.</p>
<p>are these done...or are there more being sent out?</p>
<p>i know of someone who got a likely a few weeks after many others did. i guess it depends on duke's 'confidence level' this year though.
hell, that's probably how i even got into duke in the first place last year! :p</p>
<p>Those of you who received likely letters, did any of you apply early action to other top colleges, like Stanford or Yale? And if you did, what were your results?</p>
<p>I applied early to Chicago and was accepted, and I got "early approval" (i.e a likely letter) from Stanford.</p>
