Anybody from Asia accepted with Financial Aid?
@GreenSweetness I am from India and I did receive fin aid.
Did all those admitted receive an email from their regional admission officers?
@clueless96 I did
I did as well.
Did anyone else receive a handwritten note from their regional admission officer in their acceptance folders?
@AnastasiaAliyev My son did and it was really sweet, very specific to his essay about himself. I thought it was a beautiful gesture!
“Email”
I did
is it true the duke acceptance letters include personalized messages on why they accepted you?
@debatejunkie Yea they do. Mine was about how they liked my passion for music and hope I bring my rock and roll to Duke. It was awesome.
@debatejunkie - You get a handwritten note from your regional admissions officer about one or a few things he/she liked about your application, but they don’t tell you WHY, exactly, they admitted you.
Same for ED. My son received a handwritten postcard from his regional admissions officer that talked about how much she enjoyed his application and listed a few things she particularly liked. It was a nice way to personalize a process that can often feel impersonal.
@Alamom I thought it was really touching as well! It definitely made me love Duke even more.
@nonetaken Yeah, my stats are on there! 
Mine did too. It’s adorable! Love Duke!!
Same here. I had another school do the same thing and I loved it. Seeing it from Duke was a big plus as well.
I had a personal note as well. It was a really nice touch.
My son was not admitted but I know there were so many great applicants. He had a 34 ACT, 4.33 GPA, numerous AP’s but is just a regular kid. I am happy for all that got in as it is a great school.
