~DUKE 2020 RD APPLICANTS DISCUSSION THREAD~

@soccerboy16 yes

@soccerboy16 yea lol

@WATTBA can you post the email you got?

Did everyone have that part about don’t check it at school/around your friends and family?

This was the email…
"I want to let you know that Regular Decision applicants to Duke University (and Early Decision applicants whose admission decisions were deferred to Regular Decision) may view their admissions decisions online beginning 7:00 p.m. Thursday, March 24, 2016. Financial Aid decisions will also be available online for those whose applications were complete.

Since we deliver our decision letters to applicants, we expect only the applicant will be checking his or her decision online. When you decide to check your decision online, we strongly encourage you to do so in the privacy of your own residence, not at school. We believe your decision is a private matter, and for many reasons we have found it is best for applicants to be away from friends and classmates when they check their decisions.

You can view your admission decision letter upon logging in to your application checklist. If you previously activated your account, you will log in here: https://applicants.siss.duke.edu.

If you have not yet activated your application checklist, please check your email - including your “spam” and junk mail folders - for a message with the subject: Important Information about Your Duke Application sent from siss-no-reply@duke.edu. This email will contain an applicant-specific URL you can use to activate your account.

If you are unable to locate the original email, visit idms.oit.duke.edu/applicants-self-barn-resend/ and request a new activation email.

If you do not have internet access on Thursday, we can provide your admissions decision by telephone beginning Friday, March 25, 2016.

If you have any technical questions, please direct them to the Duke Service Desk at (919) 684-2200 or email help@duke.edu. You can direct all other questions to the Admissions Office staff at (919) 684-3214 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Remember, though, that we will not provide your admissions decision by telephone until Friday, March 25, 2016.

My staff joins me in thanking you for applying to Duke!"

Same email

Did anyone else who was rejected ED get an email about the decision day??? Does this mean I was actually deferred instead of rejected??

OK, just wondering if everyone received the same email basically saying to be alone, etc. Kinda sending a gloomy message hinting that you don’t want your friends to see you crying. I know I am being totally neurotic and reading way too much into it but anything to give me a heads-up that it won’t be good news would help the process if that is indeed the case. Would love to hear from some of the scholarship recipients/candidates or LL recipients since you guys are a lock, if you got this email then it is clearly the same for everyone. I know I’ve got what it takes to get in but so do way more than what they can take. Good luck to everyone !

@itsmyusername I did. The email I received looks exactly like the one @BureaCat has just posted.

@cinnmom2 Yeah I got a LL and it’s the same email, so don’t think about it too much.

I did also @savvyitup, but it seems it was just a mistake. Sorry, they kind of kicked is when were down

Thanks all! I was busy posting my comment so I didn’t see the letter that was posted…sorry for the redundancy! Thanks @allthingstesla ~ great to hear that I’m still in the running!

Is it a bad sign if I didn’t receive that e-mail?

Wow Duke. Create another email list. That is so rude and uncaring. They should apologize.

Did anyone else not get the email?

I got the email an hour ago. I have to say, I’m pretty nervous.

just curious, why it is ’ best for applicants to be away from friends and classmates when they check their decisions’?

Im honestly not anymore. Ive gotten rejected or waitlisted from everywhere else so Im expecting the same :frowning:

I thought it comes out at 7 Eastern Time?
