It took them a whole week and it wasn't even personalizedSame. And this is literally the only school that addressed its rejections "Dear Applicant" pre OR post interview that I applied to. Wtf.

Never give up! Trust your instinctsanyone here beginning to consider Caribbean schools?
It seems like they rejected a significant amount of interviewees.Did duke reject anyone post interview or were they all WL?
Rejected post interview here. I think most rejects on this thread are in the same boat. Really felt confident about this interview and the MMI. I had strong stats and letters but maybe not enough research?Did duke reject anyone post interview or were they all WL?
Ladies, for SLW, are you dressing business casual, casual, or casual casual?
I'd say pack for casual & business-casual unless you hear otherwise. I believe there will be dinner at a faculty member's home one night, and it wouldn't be bad to look decent for that. Definitely don't over-do it; it's supposed to be relaxed and comfortable, but maybe leave the Marilyn Manson tees home.I was going to say casual, but events with the deans and faculty may suggest less casual... Any current students to help??
"Dear John" style pdf attachment. Congrats on the waitlist, though I imagine two years in a row must be excruciating. Anybody else notice the big jump in II this year? 900 people completed the MMI. YeeshLetter? As in snail mail?...
A lot of those kids are also current med students (close to even a half, at least a third), so I wouldn't get too bummed about it. Trust me, I was to the point where I had a committee letter ready for next cycle. Anything is possible!Damn, there are hella people on the FB group. Doesn't look good for us WLers
I don't think much (or any?) merit aid has been offered yet. Scholarships should be released soon. I once asked about the average need-based aid across all four years, and the numbers were similar for each year. My understanding is that it can fluctuate a bit, but isn't likely to dramatically change, so long as you don't win the lottery. Maybe @Cambover can offer some clarity.Financial aid offer received today via email! Duke, while still not my cheapest option, was more generous than I expected. Does anyone know if the offer is guaranteed for 4 years, or if it fluctuates year to year pending resubmit sion of forms? Also, have all merit scholarships offers been made?

Financial aid is based off your financial situation yearly (no matter what school you go to) and off the estimated cost of living per annum. Second year, due to it being a 12-13 month period, is more expensive than first year (~11-months). There are a lot of scholarships during third year (+many outside scholarships covering tuition/room&board) so this year tends to be lighter. And if you didn't receive a merit scholarship as a first-year, there are several merit scholarships given for fourth year based on academic achievement.
So yes, it'll change. And if you're lucky, you can also get two years of med school paid for after matriculation.
I just can't get myself to cancel the acceptance... I might be coming to Duke with you guys!
Do you know how long it took to get your award after all of your forms were submitted?Financial aid offer received today via email!

I submitted FAFSA and NeedAccess in late February, and my tax forms by the 2nd week of March.Do you know how long it took to get your award after all of your forms were submitted?
You should have come to SLW! It was really well organized and a lot of fun! Every accepted student seemed extremely nice, and the current students were the best! I was pretty set on coming here but now I have no doubt I will be part of DukeMed class of 2020!I just can't get myself to cancel the acceptance... I might be coming to Duke with you guys!
Does Duke require a Dean's Certification or anything similar before matriculation? I'm trying to decide if I need to start trying to contact my old university. Thanks!
Were you accepted to DukeMed/any med school during the program? Trying to decide whether or not to attend Duke MBS but having a hard time finding information about the success of graduates. Thanks!Incoming Duke MBS student applying to DukeMed this cycle! My #1 choice!!
