Does anyone know whether parents and/ or significant others are invited/ encouraged to attend second look? The email makes it sound like they're not
I was told after the second look weekend. Wasn't excited to hear that since cost of attendance is what I am using to narrow down which second looks to attend.Does anyone know when Duke releases your financial aid packages? Similarly, would Duke have already notified any scholarship recipients?
I was wondering the same thing! Could any current students provide any insight?Does anyone know whether parents and/ or significant others are invited/ encouraged to attend second look? The email makes it sound like they're not
I called them earlier and they said they are definitely invited/ encouraged to attend!I was wondering the same thing! Could any current students provide any insight?
Are you me? This happened to me last night and I got my daily cardio in those 2.5 seconds between seeing the email preview and opening the email. had me likeWhen you read “resend” as “rescind” and your heart stops for a second
I think we just wait. There’s no change in the portal for us to do anything, and the email just mentions contacting them if you don’t want to be on the wait list.
FAFSA and CSS Profile. Good luck!For financial aid/scholarship do we have to fill anything out such as a fafsa form??
So it’s not necessarily a school specificfinancial aid form. It’s general through FAFSA and CSS?FAFSA and CSS Profile. Good luck!
Just those two forms (with Duke as a recipient) and then you’ll submit tax documents via the CSS profile as well. Nothing school specific.So it’s not necessarily a school specificfinancial aid form. It’s general through FAFSA and CSS?
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
Never hurts to reach out and ask/explain the situation and they’ll see what they can do.Does anyone know if they care about hearing about scholarships you've gotten from other schools? I.e. do they match at all?
Congratulations! You got the notification just now?!1st A.
I love y’all.
Hey! Yeah I remember you had like up to a week after your interview to submit updates on the portal. I submitted an update after my interview, and I am able to see the file that I uploaded under the "Upload Files" tab. Hope that helps!Did any of you submit updates to the portal before it stopped allowing you to? I can’t remember if I submitted an update a while ago, and was wondering if your updates show up under “Upload Files” if you did

Does anyone know what percentage of the incoming class typically receives merit aid?? (regardless of whether that is partial or full tuition)
Anyone else get a surprise finaid package last night? A lot earlier than expected
did you get notified by email?
Merit or need-based?Anyone else get a surprise finaid package last night? A lot earlier than expected
Merit or need-based?
It is unclear? Seems all lumped into one, but it's enough that I think merit is a part of it
I’m not sure if we are supposed to do this. The email with our acceptance lays out the instructions and it wouldn’t make sense that we would have to accept before second look. I would stick to the instructions on the Duke decision PDF.On the MSAR it says that Duke must be notified of acceptance of an offer within 2 weeks and also requires a $100 deposit, but there is no spot for this to happen in the portal, and they did not send any post-acceptance emails stating when/how to do this.
Can anyone expand upon this - just scared that I will miss a deadline and get the acceptance revoked.
Also, are we supposed to do anything with the Student ID # on the acceptance letter? Thanks!
I would not recommend ignoring MSAR just in case. Please call admissions office lol.I’m not sure if we are supposed to do this.

Actually I saw the MSAR section you are referring to. Interesting as the instructions that Andrea Liu sent w the acceptance does not refer to this at all. @MC_Infarction or previous duke students, can you provide Any insight? I just sent an email to the office of admissions.I would not recommend ignoring MSAR just in case. Please call admissions office lol.
Lol at your meme but yeah there’s no way they would put admissions information behind an optional paywall. That would be cruel and a lawsuit waiting to happenView attachment 297441
I'm glad someone is reading things like that and checking on the admin office. Would not be a good day if I can't go to Duke because I didn't read something in MSAR which I don't have.
Very valid point. I'm still glad to hear someone is reaching out. Because putting something behind a paywall would be really cruel. But I think I have just come up with my summary phrase for the entire med school admissions process: "Cruelty behind a paywall" .... wow this process has made me cynicalLol at your meme but yeah there’s no way they would put admissions information behind an optional paywall. That would be cruel and a lawsuit waiting to happen
Thank you! You're a real MVP.Hi guys, I just spoke to the admissions office via phone and email. They stated that this was the first time that they had heard about the MSAR "two weeks allotted time" and assured me that we have until April 30th. Chandima also sent me an email immediately after! See below:
Very bottom page of our duke decisions PDF has a link to the bursar account! So then you use the student ID number and last name to pay for it! Office of admissions then emails you letting you know they received it.Where/how do we pay the $100 deposit? Maybe I missed that in one of the emails but I haven't seen anything about it...
Think y'all got this taken care of!Actually I saw the MSAR section you are referring to.

Is anyone else crazy disappointed about the cancellation? I'm really torn between Duke and University of Washington (strikingly different schools) and I was really looking to this weekend to re-assess my opinion of Duke. I was blown away during interview day, but it's a huge deal to move across the country (and pay more in tuition), so I was really looking for a critical re-exposure to the program.
