~DUKE 2020 RD APPLICANTS DISCUSSION THREAD~

I’m confident that all are not out. I know for a fact that University Scholars and Karsh will be declared over the next week. Was the person whom you contacted via email, a member of the scholarship office?

Do you guys think that decisions are still being made? Or are they just wrapping up now

I’m hanging on to your every last words, @clueless96 :-SS

The second time I called the office, they were a little frustrated. They said they need more time, perhaps a week or so.

@clueless96 no idea it was just a response through admissions. They could’ve just wanted me to stop pestering them for all I know

Was this response when you asked them for the second time? If so, then they might have just said it so that you do not ask them again.

I spoke to the office today. They said University Scholars and Karsh finalists will take a while, possibly a couple of weeks.

If those take a couple of weeks then when will we get our admission decision lol

Called and they said that the Reggie Howard was out.

I think they have might have exaggerated a bit. In the past years, it has been coming out by 15th March or so.

For all of the scholarships?

Woah, you guys got answers! I called and asked about scholarships and the response I got was that they can’t disclose if they’ve been released yet or not. I did get told that Duke will send an official email that with give the date for when to check the portal for our decision. I know I sure have my fingers crossed every single day that I get accepted!

The ABs, BNs, Reginaldo Howards and University Scholars’ finalist site is up. The Robertson finalists have been notified as well, but I don’t know about the Karsh finalists.

@critter, can you provide a link for these finalist sites? Thank you.

@critter they said university would be out later this week when I spoke to them and emailed them yesterday.

@clueless96- I know they have sent out at least some notifications and there aren’t many total. Plus there is a very short turn-around time for sign-up, travel arrangements etc. Finalist Weekend 2016 is only a few weeks away.

From the Scholarship (OUSF) Office Site:

"The next finalist weekend for the Ab Duke, BN Duke, Reginaldo Howard and University Scholars programs will be held March 30-April 2, 2015. The Robertson Scholars Finalist Weekend will be April 2-5, 2015. The other programs have different processes.

All finalists will be notified by early March."

@Lovelearning7- If you google it I believe at least one recent site will pop up. Each year all 4 scholarships are on the same site.

Hopefully those waiting here will get good news very soon! Good luck!

If it says 2015, is that from last year?

I guess it is from last year. For those of you concerned about University and Karsh, I think both will be out by March 15th. This is the latest news from the office.

do you need to apply for any of the merit scholarship?

@anythingforDuke i was actually wondering the same thing!! can anyone let us know?? thanks :smiley:
