Duke Class of 2029 Official Thread

I agree!!

Can I ask where this info came from? I noticed it on the decision calendar but did Duke post something somewhere?

From counselors

Oh ok! Thank you!

Did anyone else’s FA checklist dates update? I had everything submitted and dated by 3/01 and Duke accessed my IDOC around that time as well. However I log on now and all my IDOC docs are listed as Received on 3/18 despite previously being dated earlier. Anyone the same?

Yea a couple of us have had the dates continuously updating for the last few weeks. My latest update is also 3/18

Is this a good sign? Since they might be finalizing your fa packet

I hope so. I’ve checked with others who applied for FA and I’m the only one at my school to have this. A lot of people have waived docs.

I got a feeling that ur gonna get in! :wink:

You’re kind haha! Hope so, but I refuse to get hopes up because astrology can be wrong.

Not sure if this is good or bad… but everything gone from checklist as of Monday… just boom not available. While technically S25 has a chance… it has to be << 1% … but I guess don’t make the shots never taken.

Checklist is removed for everyone, however I still have a financial aid checklist, is that gone for you?

Never submitted FA … and I cannot tell if that’s a good thing or bad thing in AO decision making process… on one hand do they think full pay cool, or do they really do need blind, or what not. Now a school like DUKE seems certainly does not care b/c folks are going to pay full price almost no matter what as everyone is elite… and only the very very lucky get something special.

They are need-blind for domestic and need-aware for international. If you’re international, then your full-pay is ā€œbetterā€ than requiring lots of aid. But yes everyone’s checklist is removed. Best of luck to you.

hey same here my last updates were 3/10 tho.. im domestic and requested aid hopefully a good sign

My son’s most recent update is 3/18, too.

Hey guys! Does anyone know why my mom’s stuff was waived? She’s my custodial parent & my step dad & dads stuff say received (I stated that they weren’t contributing towards my education). I got an interview too and my FA portal was last updated on the 17th

I was deferred ED and my dates haven’t changed? Does that mean auto reject?

Finances are not considered. Two different departments. Anecdotally my son had a friend apply without FAFSA and stellar candidate( 1580,etc etc) denied ED this yr.

Any interview?
