(I am RD with interview)
Where do you see this? Is everyone discussing this menu?
My last update was 3/12, one of my docs is waived tho.. No interview
I know there has been multiple mentions of the different departments. Operationally wouldnāt it make more sense for the Financial Aid office to only work on files for students that have been admitted or waitlisted? Otherwise the Financial Aid office would have to work on 10 times as many files as they need to.
Yes. docs updated = accept usually. Waived = reject
FYI, a few years ago when my older D applied, Idocs were updated, which we took as a very positive sign. She was waitlisted and ultimately rejected.
This time we did not apply for FA, so canāt comment on any updates this year.
Good luck everyone.

Yeah i think when your SAI from FAFSA is like several factors multiplied by $100,000 they waive looking at it, cuz they know you are full pay. Why waste time.

Whatās SAI? I just know I donāt qualify
Yes. But thereās no way to determine if an update means accept. Thereās a post indicating their student was updated then rejected. We have one at Duke and there was no updates. I have another awaiting decision and no updates nor waived info, simply ā received ā info checked.
has there been any astro for duke in past years?
Student Aid Index - the number the govt calculates you can afford based on your income, tax data you provided, assets. When they say your SAI is $200k, $300k, $400k you arent getting any need based aid even for ivy level tuition costs.

How do you check when Duke accessed your Idoc?
I understand that portal astrology is fun, however, in the past there are numerous examples in old threads that show IDOC and any other updates have zero correlation with acceptance. People have had multiple updates and have been rejected , and people have no updates and get accepted. Same with WL, defer , etc etc. It means nothing.

Yes. Under my sonās financial aid checklist. he has more items than yours. Parent federal tax , w2 , all the schedules and student w2 in addition to CSS and FAFSA and the dates received. He received an interview late Feb.
My checklist is full (Parent business tax, W2, K-1s) and has been updated to 3/18. However Duke also had be submit a verification form in the beginning of March. I donāt know if thatās a good omen or not.
My DDās IDOC dashboard does not list Duke while several other schools she applied were listed from the get go when we created her IDOC account. I am not clear whether all schools requiring parents tax info will be listed on the dashboard. Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks!
I submitted that too but let me make sure it was for Duke, Iāll reply to this in a minute
Nevermind it was for another institution.
Update about decision date: the email said BY March 31, so it could very well come out during Ivy day as expected.
This is a post from Reddit:
