Duke Class of 2027 Official Thread

even worse here. Only 2 docs (FAFSA and CSS), and they were never updated since January!

I’m pretty sure more docs doesn’t mean higher chance of admission.

I also have 3 items but that literally all that I have sent. I have the CSS / Parents tax returns / student tax statement.

  • I’m also international.

same for me

Mine is still on ā€œcompleteā€ and still says ā€œapplicant.ā€ I know some people were on ā€œcompleteā€ but it said ā€œcurrent decisionā€ and at least one person said theirs was on ā€œdecidedā€ a while back. Not sure any of this means anything, lol. I’ve been trying to stay off slate and avoid portal astrology in general but sometimes I can’t help it. Waiting is so hard!

This was debunked in last years thread:

where did you see this? Duke application portal doesn’t look like that?

its from slate.org

Interesting. So maybe they are still deciding on me or maybe they are updating by region and haven’t gotten to mine yet. Or maybe it means nothing, lol. Mine still says ā€œApplicantā€ and when I click on the link the circle is still on ā€œComplete.ā€ Is there anyone else who still shows ā€œApplicantā€ rather than ā€œCurrent Decisionā€?

could be - I would think it would be more positive than what we are seeing…

All I think it means is that at the time of sync the decision has been made. I suspect they make decisions in batches and upload them. So effectively no conclusion can be drawn from it other than the application was handled in an earlier batch. That’s my guess of course :slight_smile: :grinning:
Good luck to your son and everyone!

Thanks! I see. But after I logged in slate, I can tell you that it didn’t mean anything. As I was admitted to certain schools, but they still show ā€œcompleteā€. The status for some other schools is even ā€œin progressā€. So, I guess that the status there is not in sync with a school’s decision.

I know of two people with Duke BSAI and Merit Finalist invitations (ie: both admitted) who have their slate as complete.

Yes, each school uses a different kind of method to track – one school’s slate can’t be compared to anothers

As of 3/22 my slate says ā€œdecidedā€ and it said ā€œcurrent decisionā€ all of last week…

When I clicked an Upload submission button on Upload Materials session, I could see an item called ā€œAdmitted Student Health Formā€. I don’t know it was there before or not. I just checked it today and it was there. What is it?

My daughter has the Admitted Student Health Form also so unless many others don’t I would not read into it.
