If you adjust the forum posting history to one year, you can go back and see the threads from last March. The first posting of an acceptance was on March 30th, 2011.
Hey guys! So, the Duke student portal said that we'll all be notified by April 1st, but one of my friends told me she got her acceptance notification today. She didn't apply early and get deferred, but was regular decision. (She also wasn't an athlete or anything, so no coach recruitment...just a great violin player! ) So, guess they're sending them out early! Good luck everyone!

Congrats to her! Are decisions sent via e-mail or snail mail?
Someone I know, international, received nitification today that he won a scholarship that will cover all his demonstrated need, and will give him an internship with 7k with it in the summer.
This is really bad...Duke usually takes one person per year form my country. This is so sad for me. And I was asking for a lot of aid.
Congrats to those who have gotten in already! It seems that these acceptances are coming out earlier than expected, is there some regional correlation or can I expect a decision within the coming week?
I'd say those are likely letters though... After all, if they were in fact generic admission decisions, should not everyone be notified...?
And @eatyoualive, an admitted student from your country won't affect your admissions decision. They don't have a maximum number of acceptances per country. Just depends on how good your app was...
This is so frustrating! I wish we could just know already. I was deferred ED, so it's like going through that all over again, except now there are likely's, which adds a new dimension to it all. When they released ED decisions they did release them like 15 minutes early though.
My portal is empty as well. By the way, my guidance counselor called Duke last week, and they were still in committee, so I really doubt they'll be released any time soon. It'll probably be two weeks.
