Thank you!! I didn't send an update letter, and scheduling in early December (but I'm not sure if it was because they're trying to avoid scheduling in late December with the holidays since I know some schools are)!

Duke seems to have lower stats compared to other top schools. What is their focus more on?

3 point percentage

I've always gotten the vibe that Duke is very diversity driven. I've also heard that they don't look at MCAT scores when sending IIs.

They look at the MCAT...their median is 519 , bottom 10% is 511...

Eh, WashU, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, and Pritzker are ranked lower and have a higher median. The bottom 10% of JHU and NYU is a 518. Sure, they care about stats. But it’s more like UCSF/Harvard/Stanford where a lower than excellent MCAT won’t keep you out. Seems like they value research and diversity.

edit: misswrote

 

[amateurbater]

All of these schools have a higher median than Duke's 519 (521, 521, 520, 521, respectively). Duke's 25th percentile is a 515 which is the ~10th or lower for most of the aforementioned schools.

My bad, I miswrote that first sentence. I corrected it. Thank you.

Just sharing what I read earlier in this thread! They may look at MCAT after the interview or what was shared earlier could be wrong and they may look at MCAT prior to sending IIs. There's no telling, just a thought that may explain their lower median MCAT for such a highly ranked school.

How is 519 low median MCAT ?

No. They update at the end of the cycle as per their complete email.

 

[Blueshirtguy]

So is it me or does it seem like all like the t20s seem to only reject at end of cycle and most don't give Pre II rejections...

 

[gasstationsushi]

How is 519 low median MCAT ?

Nobody said 519 was low, just that it is a few points lower than the average MCAT scores of some of the other top schools that Duke is ranked alongside.

I got an interview a little over a month ago with a complete date of 9/18. However, I applied PCLT, and these applicants might be prioritized for review?

 

[deleted1139574]

I am now thinking to myself, why did I spend so much time on the duke secondary

[Scume]

[bigoliver101]

Duke interviews around 10% of applicants.

 

[deleted1139574]

They give interviews invites until January . It’s not over

So when a school says they stop interviewing in January it means they stop handing interview invites in Jan right

 

[splovescandles]

No I think they mean they stop interviews in Jan, meaning the last invites probably go out in late Dec or early Jan.

 

[hotcrossbuns]

Interviewed last week and at the end of the session one of the members of the office of admissions mentioned that update letters could be sent two to three weeks after the interview. However, on the website, it says that update letters are only acceptable one week after. Did anyone else who interviewed hear similar news or know what the correct deadline is?

I sent mine in a few days after my interview just in case.

 

[dazednconfuzed]

anyone know if duke adcoms are still reviewing through Friday? or when they'll be back in office?

"The Admissions Office will be closed December 19-January 3rd to celebrate the holidays."

I emailed them...

I saw on their application timeline on their website that their virtual interview season is from early Sept to early Feb so we have until early Feb to know. MSAR also has the earliest acceptance notice is 02/17/2022. I also have not heard anything, complete on the later side on 10/03/2022.

No update letter, and they’re scheduling for January 12 to 14

 

[PlayNoGames]

Hey y'all. Are they allowing post-II updates longer than a week after the interview? I can't quite remember if this was touched upon during interview. Thanks!

 

[Scume]

Is Duke done sending interview invites??

 

[Unconditionalloves]

Yes, maybe, and no.

lol

 

[lifesux]

Is Duke done sending interview invites??

last year they sent out a final II wave end of January... lets start crossing fingers and toes lol.

 

[LostDarkness]

I am a little confused, could someone help me? What is the deal with post interview update letter? Are we allowed to send them and if so how?

On the supplemental application site it says they’re allowed 1 week after interview but I am similarly confused if they were perhaps allowed via email or something . Can’t remember

did you interview ?

 

[wysdoc]

Would anyone who has interviewed here be willing to answer a few questions about their experience for me via PM? Would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

Duke has asked the interviewees not to share the content of the MMI stations.
