~DUKE 2020 RD APPLICANTS DISCUSSION THREAD~

I just got my Black Student Alliance Invitational in the email this morning and I’m honestly so excited! Like I didn’t think I was ever going to get in so this is crazy!

@allthingstesla Congrats!!! Haha, it must’ve felt amazing to see that email :slight_smile:

Is there a merit scholarship thread? When do we find out? Does finding out mean auto admit?

Got the likely letter in the morning! I half black so I am kind of surprised lol.

@EYeager mail or email?

^^ or portal?

Does anyone now have a “worklist” tab on the upper right hand corner after you log in to SISS? This tab recently appeared next to the Sign Off button, but the table that appears on the worklist page is empty, with no access to “detail view.”

@archersbow My D has the same thing

@archersbow Yup I have it too, I don’t think it means anything

Does anyone get this error when they’re trying to login to their portal?

@graceann yes! I get that exact same error. I just haven’t had the time to call Duke and sort it out.

@graceann I kept trying to open it on chrome to no avail but if you open it with Firefox, you can log in just fine

Hey i was just on my school’s naviance page and duke sent me a request to “connect”, and that wasnt there yesterday. What do you guys think about that, like does that mean anything?

@ThatGirlCoder

I usually use chrome but tried with firefox and safari but still no luck @NaijaBoy

so are the invitations for finalists for the duke ab scholarship and the university scholarship supposedly coming this friday?

I guess so, @donkeykong466 . In the past, that’s how it has been.

@archersbow the ‘worklist’ tab is now on my son’s applicant login page, too. When the tab is clicked it leads to the blank template also saying you are not authorized to visit this page if you attempt to click ‘view detail.’ The home screen for the worklist tab has a 7 digit number next to his name. The number starts with a 2, and I read on another Duke site that the student ID’s for Duke students are 7 digits and begin with a 2. Since the student ID’s are only for admitted students, does anyone think this means anything hopeful for my son?

@2020SDG same thing of my D…one can hope it’s a positive sign

@2020SDG @greeny8 that number is simply some kind of applicant number. The reason I say so is because I had once sent a message to the financial aid office via the Duke portal. Then, the reply I received had the number in the subject line. So, that number, I’m guessing, has little to do with an acceptance. It was there a long time ago.
