Did any fellow waitlister apply for financial aid?
I called shortly after being waitlisted and the lady from the admissions office said not to.
Did any fellow waitlister apply for financial aid?
A Duke financial aid representative explicitly told me that they don't.Does anyone know if Duke has previously worked to match offers given by other competitive programs?
Can someone post the match list 2015 if it is out? Thanks!
Last year the only reported waitlist acceptances were the day after the one acceptance deadline. Fingers crossed for next Friday!
so are you saying there will be less waitlist movement this year?I have a classmate who was accepted later in the summer, so it's possible. They are aiming for less movement this year.
judging by the demographics at SLW, @CTU Surgeon and I postulate that mostly girls will get off the waitlist.so are you saying there will be less waitlist movement this year?
You see that is a dangerous thought, all hopeful and stuff, if you're female. I just need this process to be over so I can figure out my lifeeeeee. Whine.whine...wine.judging by the demographics at SLW, @CTU Surgeon and I postulate that mostly girls will get off the waitlist.

There are substantial female prospective students on the facebook page. So I don't think @ProbablyAPenguin and @CTU Surgeon's postulation is necessarily right since SLW is not always an accurate prediction.You see that is a dangerous thought, all hopeful and stuff, if you're female.

I'd rather not speculate at all and just wait for Friday, this is making me nervous hah.There are substantial female prospective students on the facebook page. So I don't think @ProbablyAPenguin and @CTU Surgeon's postulation is necessarily right since SLW is not always an accurate prediction.
+1Withdrawing here also. Hopefully their super generous full tuition offer goes to another worthy candidate still on the fence!
5PM tomorrowSo to be clear, does the National Reply Date mean I have to withdraw all offers but one by midnight tonight, or by the end of the day (5 PM) tomorrow?
can someone please post the fb group link? I've tried searching here and on fb but can't find for some reason...
did Duke SERIOUSLY just reject me a 3rd time? dudeeee

I would LOVE to hear their response if the ever send you one, pedis! I too was rejected for a third time today.3rd rejection. At least it was scanned in straight this time. I replied "This is my third rejection. I understand I will not be matriculating at Duke this year."
Could not stop laughing when I got their email! Looking forward to my fourth rejection.
I also responded to them, and I got the following response:I would LOVE to hear their response if the ever send you one, pedis! I too was rejected for a third time today.
So a friend of mine just posted on his facebook that he got into Duke Med-I'm assuming off the waitlist...
when did you receive the call?I also got off of the WL today via phone call.
Between 11AM and 12PM ESTwhen did you receive the call?
Are you withdrawing?Well, it was fun while it lasted. I wish everyone the best of luck during their medical school careers and congratulations to those of you who had a successful outcome ad Duke!
Are you withdrawing?
I don't think it's necessarily bad news. I think they're calling a few people at a time, similarly to how they gave out decisions in February. It's not over until it's over. Don't count yourself out!No I'm not, and I apologize if it came across that way. Just hard to stomach what doesn't seem like good news after such a long process.

Rejected a third time as well.
Do you think I should give up hope yet?
