Got my acceptance email an hour ago. I think the reason it's taking a while is because each email has an attachment that's unique to each person

What's the attachment?

 

[donedonelondon]

I just called, the lady at the office said "all decisions will be emailed today by 5pm EST". Just a little over an hour left guys!

 

[nk430]

It's just the official acceptance letter

Lol so evidently they aren't putting personal attachments with the rejections

 

[Bumblenest]

Got an acceptance email a few hours ago!!!! No call at all, what a weekend..

 

[Eye-eye]

Well, waitlist or rejection, here I come!

 

[dguirg95]

well, it looks like thats all she wrote. Congrats to all those accepted, and best of luck to all those not accepted...its been a long cycle

 

[Kevin H]

To those all waiting.

Called admissions office just now. To confirm, all acceptances will be released via phone and / or email by 5:00pm EST today (as in 17 minutes remaining as of my post).

All rejections and waitlist notifications will be via email by tomorrow, Tuesday, 3/7/2017, at earliest.

Wanted the misery to end here. I've been so disappointed to not get the call or email from Duke.

Called admissions office just now. To confirm, all acceptances will be released via phone and / or email by 5:00pm EST today (as in 17 minutes remaining as of my post).

thats ridiculous...they cant just tell us today if we are rejected?

 

[dguirg95]

like im pretty sure rejections are a standard mass email anyway...jeez im so sick of this whole process. Ive been waiting since september and its exhausting and i cant do it anymore. I quit lol WL here is basically a rejection anyway so i take it as a rejection as of now.

 

[icebearsettledthatintheOR]

[n0name3]

[KPstudent]

Got rejected. Congratulations to everyone who got in, as a former Duke undergraduate I will tell you you will love Durham. make sure to go to Cameron and watch some basketball games for me <3

 

[Eye-eye]

Reject... Well, at least I won't maintain any hope throughout the waitlist movement season.

 

[dguirg95]

[dguirg95]

Lol i think god is punishing us for whining too much in this thread

lmao i totally believe that. if thats the case im hearing back last haha

 

[humanperson]

How long is the wait list?

 

[tarheelpenner]

Never been so happy about a waitlist in my life! Also, email said they were expecting "considerable movement", so maybe there is hope after all?

Where does it say that? Also WL but no mention of "considerable movement".

 

[Eye-eye]

Email

 

[tarheelpenner]

my bad. "a number of opportunities to admit from the wait list". close enough.

 

[mdapp2021]

Lol i think god is punishing us for whining too much in this thread

Crap I shouldn't have used the same email for my AMCAS as my SDN

 

[justlisten234]

anyone else still get nothing?

still nothin and it's been like an hour since the first WL/rejections

 

[dguirg95]

still nothin and it's been like an hour since the first WL/rejections

same, i guess tomorrow it is

 

[justlisten234]

same, i guess tomorrow it is

I don't understand why they would only send a partial batch of them out but not to everyone? I suppose it's no use questioning admissions offices' actions hah

 

[tarheelpenner]

maybe you guys got accepted!

 

[dguirg95]

I don't understand why they would only send a partial batch of them out but not to everyone? I suppose it's no use questioning admissions offices' actions hah

i have no idea but ive come to the conclusion (finally) that there is NO use in trying to figure it out, any of it. cause we will never get it and what happens will happen regardless

 

[mdapp2021]

maybe you guys got accepted!

Pls I can't refresh my emails for another whole day lol

 

[justlisten234]

maybe you guys got accepted!

I appreciate the sentiment but my unrealistic wishes don't need to be enabled

 

[MC_Infarction]

WL. So many WLs. Anyone know what's the chance of getting off here?

MSAR says 10 accepted. At my interview they said that they over accepted last year and that no one got off the waitlist (though people in this thread have said they know people who got off the waitlist last year).

The 10 accepted was for 2015.
