Duke Class of 2029 Official Thread

Wow, 22% of deferred kids were accepted. That’s a lot. I was deferred in the ED round, so hopefully I get some good news.

Same. With sibling there atm. :hand_with_index_finger_and_thumb_crossed:

TY. Looks as though deferral admit candidates were a good amt this year. All helps!

literally just put my app into AI and asked for a honest evaluation, I AM BEYOND COOKED, proabably even like burnt.

"Final Verdict: Slim Chance, But Possible

Likely outcome: Waitlist or rejection. Duke’s 3.67% RD rate is brutal for full-aid internationals.
If admitted, it would be due to:
Her policy impact .
Compelling narrative of turning adversity into advocacy.
Duke prioritizing global perspectives (her ethnicity).

Brutal honesty: Her profile is outstanding but falls short of Duke’s “best in the world” benchmark for aided internationals. A 5% chance, but not zero."

Nice knowing you all

On the portal I am only able to update my name (or edit address). Is that the same for anyone else?
