<p>^No, there’s nothing to do but wait. Interview evaluations are not due until mid-february and most likely the admissions office is busy sorting through new applications right now and most alumni are just coming off the holidays. If your S is not offered an interview then it doesn’t count against him. </p>
<p>What others have referred to above is only for those offered an interview. All interviewers, once assigned an applicant must provide a final disposition regarding the outcome of their contact or their attempts at contact. Thus, they are required to differentiate between success (with accompanying evaluation), failure due to unavoidable timing conflicts, failure due to lack of interest, etc. In the latter case, the alumni are also asked to try to determine whether the applicant is still interested in applying to Duke. This shows the perspective with which the admissions office views declined interviews.</p>
