Just got the acceptance call! I literally was in my robe from getting out of the shower and am dying from the flu so I sounded absolutely terrible on the phone I'm sure. I pretty certain this is my top choice!!!!

Lmao I should certainly hope not based off my name. It’s gotta be totally random.

 

[Isa1996]

Just got accepted, so blessed. Best of luck my friends! Be patient!

 

[ThomasShelby]

Got the call about an hour ago!

Nothing showing up on my portal and no email


Sent from my iPhone using SDN

 

[peanuttbuttah]

accepted wtf

 

[Medsthetic]

accepted wtf

Congrats! just now?

 

[sshar118]

Congrats! just now?

How long should I be waiting today? Until 5 p.m.? Or even later? Or just not pay attention to this? Because I have been checking my phone and this SDN page about every 15 min since 11 a.m. today... Lol

 

[sadpremed121]

accepted wtf

Was your interview essay still in the portal?

 

[Medsthetic]

im gonna assume since they stated early in the week we will probably get R/waitlist notifications by friday. maybe not but seems probable!

 

[jcp23]

Are we thinking they're done with calls for the day?

 

[tinytrain1]

Are we thinking they're done with calls for the day?

Last year calls went until at least 7pm so don't give up hope yet!

Crossing my fingers, Duke was one of my favorite schools that I visited!

crossing my fingers, i just want 1 acceptance

 

[Medsthetic]

although im sure it slows down tremendously at this point

 

[jcp23]

crossing my fingers, i just want 1 acceptance

Hoping it works out well for both of us!

 

[neurosabre]

Think they'll call over multiple days? Or is today it?

 

[Medsthetic]

Think they'll call over multiple days? Or is today it?

im guessing the bulk of the calls have gone out today, maybe a few more will trickle out tonight/the next few days?

 

[NCIguy62]

Got the call about an hour ago! My essay also disappeared, if anyone is wondering. Best of luck to the rest of y'all, Duke is a really, really amazing place.

Also, I think Dean Yee said that emails and portal updates will be out in a few days, so for now it's just a call! Pick up those 919 numbers y'all!

 

[sadpremed121]

Damn I think having the essay still there is a bad thing

 

[deleted965528]

No essay here, no call.

 

[omegalulz]

No essay here, no call.

same

 

[sadpremed121]

No essay here, no call.

I think there was a theory floating around where not having essay meant either accept or reject. Having the essay meant waitlist since they’re like still considering you. That’s probably what’s happening here.

That would answer the acceptance percentage disparity.

 

[Medsthetic]

I thought the best theory was if your essay was your best or worst MMI station they would remove it.

I'd say, with multiple acceptances, including UCLA!!!, and as an INTL applicant no less, your dreams have come true in a big way! Some folks here have zero acceptances, so please be sensitive to that!

ETA: not UCLA, but other schools!

 

[Medsthetic]

Guys the 2020-2021 applicants will be reading this part of the thread and seeing the essay shenanigans. Hello out there!

 

[lactoseintolerant]

I'm sorry, didn't mean to be insensitive in any way. (fyi, haven't been accepted to UCLA, and I'm grateful for A's nonetheless...Duke is my top choice atm so this is particularly painful) And, congratulations to your 6 A's!

Just wanted to cast my vote that the essay disappeared but there's no phone call, so I'm not sure how well our sdn theories are holding up about the portal. Hoping for the best for everyone though—especially because Duke is such an amazing school!

 

[premed375]

So... do we think that's it?

 

[callmedr55]

ACCEPTED TO DUKE AND PCLT!! Susan Rogers called me at 4:15. I’m over the moon! Essay disappeared lol

 

[marcosma]

got the call about an hour ago

(essay not there and was never there for me. My friend also got accepted and her essay WAS there and then wasn't anymore after a few days)

 

[YerAWizardKhalifa]

So... do we think that's it?

I'm guessing so. Does anyone know if they will continue the calls into tomorrow/friday? Or did all the A's go out today...
