<p>Regular Decision applicants should file either the Duke Student Supplement or the student portion of the Common or Universal Application by December 10, 2011. You should file the remaining parts of your application by January 2, 2012.</p>
<p>Does this mean we need to finish the whole application for Duke by Dec 10?</p>
<p>With the big caveat that there is an alumni presence where you live. This isn’t a big issue for most applicants in the US unless you live in Nowhere, Wyoming. But some international applicants will not get interviews no matter how early they file.</p>
