Duke Class of 2029 Official Thread

Same for us. Is there anyone who does NOT have LOCI option? By the way, we have not received interview invitation. Very worried.

does anyone else have “Parent Federal Tax Return” marked as waived? It wasn’t uploaded until today
 Just interviewed on Saturday. Does this point anywhere?

Where is this “Parent Federal Tax Return” located in the portal?

btw, do you have LOCI in your drop down menu? Thank you.

I don’t know about the LOCI as only my child has access to the portal (and I’m not going to ask them) but as far as interview goes - when did you submit your application? Duke has December 20th as a priority interview deadline for the interview. We didn’t know this and submitted after December 20th and haven’t received an interview. It’s not published obviously on their website but is printed in an undergraduate bulletin under polices.

I don’t have any Parent Federal Tax Return form on my financial aid tab- Interviewed in Mid-Jan and submitted app on the 31st roughly. Not sure why I’m not seeing anything there.

We also submitted in Jan.

it’s located under the financial aid tab if you chose to apply!


Got this recently. And had dated changed. Mean anything?

I didn’t have anything in my financial aid tab (other than css and fafsa) until today- duke sent an idoc request and now W2 and federal tax return form are in the portal showing as awaiting

An IDOC request is usually good

Is it indicative of admissions in any way? I got one too.

Same here.

My son’s portal changed today and shows awaiting for Parent Federal tax form and W2 form now.

My son submitted his application on Dec 28th and got interviewed last week. He also submitted a glimpse video.

My son got an idoc request today but the email doesn’t say which school. I guessed it’s Duke since the financial checklist now shows awaiting for Parent Federal tax and W2. How did you find out that it’s Duke that did the request? Thank you

marked as waived also

My child just received an invitation to interview last night. So they must have gotten through all of the priority interviews (at least in our areas) and are moving onto the non priority ones. My kid also submitted a Glimpse because they did not think they would get an interview.

Just curious to know why would you feel that your kid is non-priority one? Also, is Glympse helpful to the application?

Duke has a December 20th deadline to submit your application to be considered a priority for getting an interview. My child did not submit by December 20th, so missed the “priority deadline” (because we were unaware of the deadline at the time). I have no idea whether or not the Glimpse is helpful to the application. My kid only chose to do it because they felt they were not going to get an interview, so wanted the Glimpse instead. I just hope the Glimpse can’t hurt the application, because we only learned about them the day before they were due, so there was not a lot of forethought or preparation that went into the production of the Glimpse. (We learned about the interview priority deadline and the ability to submit a Glimpse all the same day, which was the day before the Glimpse was due. Prior to that, my kid was expecting to get invited for an interview.)
