<p>So i was curious, due to a previous thread. I, myself am NOT applying to Duke, but I was interested to find out why or if a private university would offer rolling admissions. </p>
<p>I am surprised that no one in the Duke forum has commented on it. I tried doing a search. </p>
<p>Was anyone aware that there is such a thing called a “Cardinal Application” ? </p>
<p>That app is basically rolling, non- binding, and people who have submitted that app will know by Nov. (like NOW) if they are accepted or not. </p>
<p>interesting…i thought. If I WAS applying to Duke, I would hate that they would offer such a almost Discriminatory like ‘invited’ application. i personallly hate those, especially if they’re from a private school.</p>
<p>Oh believe me, i’ve never heard of this either. I heard it personally, from a friend/acquaintance. I don’t know her too well, like i’m not quite sure what her stats were. I guess, there is a chance that she’s lying to me. But she did say that she received it in the mail. She said it was called the “Cardinal Application” She applied. She got accepted. Except financial aid package doesn’t come out till January.</p>
<p>Usually the people who get likely letters are very qualified and have excellent chances at pretty much anywhere, although some are rejected elsewhere. Likely letters are a way to attract a student’s attention to a university (s)he might otherwise turn down.</p>
