Duke Class of 2029 Official Thread

did you let duke admissions know about this? i reached group semi and let them know

yeah I sent an email to update them since they are two different committees

are you asking me or the other person?

oh nevermind I’m slow

I am mainly concerned because I never received an interview request from Duke and I am an international student seeking financial aid, so I was curious what percentage of Robertson Scholarship’s semifinalist gets rejected from Duke :sob:

same i sent it for group. i think it should help. can’t hurt. let me know your result. really hoping duke can clutch up…

Best of luck! Will update my result here. Hoping for the best after being rejected from every IVY I applied except being waitlisted from UPenn. Duke is quite literally my last decision and last hope. :sob:

btw.. did you get a duke interview?

woah congrats for cornell though! I hope we make it to Duke! (I didn’t get an interview and I am an international student)

good luck. i truly think you’ll get in!

for me it only shows my sat score

Wondering how sibling legacy affects outcome. Can’t imagine a lot but deferred and sibling may equate to 12-15% admit? Hard to know. I’m in this category :blush:

Duke is one of the few selective universities where sibling legacy matters. I’m sure it helped my D. She also submitted two LOCIs and an additional letter of recommendation after being deferred.

Same. LOCI came right after Hurricane and discussed my community impact. Transcripts for this sem was fortunately all high As. Couldn’t do much more, so just waiting..
