I’m so sorry, it’s likely due to yield. If they think a student is overqualified and won’t likely attend, they reject to protect the yield. They will find an amazing school, but the sting definitely hurts for a few days. Hugs to all!

OMG it is taking every ounce of self control to not check S’s portal now. He is home from school, so I just messaged him to check it. Hopefully he won’t leave me hanging for hours.

Same boat here. But he doesn’t get home until 3. I should actually try to get some work done
Daughter was admitted to both the School of Dance and Art. Her brother is a sophomore so we are so happy to be a Double Duke Family

Appeal Process
Guidelines for Submitting an Appeal for Freshman Admission
- The appeal must be submitted by the applicant, not from a parent or guardian.
- The appeal must be submitted within 30 days of receiving the notification of the original decision.
- The appeal process is not a re-review of the existing file.
- The appeal must contain NEW information that was not included in the initial application. An example of new information might include a new transcript if it is determined that a teacher submitted an inaccurate grade or the high school sent the wrong transcript. Additional letters of reference are not considered new information. Grades earned after mid-February and results from standardized tests taken after December will not be considered.
- The appeal should include an explanation of why the new information was not submitted originally.
- Personal Interviews are not part of the appeals process.
- The Admissions Committee will notify you of its decision in writing.
- Appeals should be mailed to:

Please posts stats and results on the RESULTS ONLY thread:
Honors College website just says mid-January… no other news here
Does anybody know when the school sends out the email to the students instructing them to check their admissions portal?
My S was admitted to Music today. But, he applied as BA, not BM, so no audition required (only interview). If you auditioned for BM they may need to wait until all audition rounds are complete.
