WAITLIST...earliest possible notification date? i'm in a predicament!

<p>has anyone else heard recently from the waitlist…or does anyone know if they are still taking students off??</p>

<p>i know duke is a great school but i just really like northwestern better and i want to go there so badly! i feel like i have done everyhting that i could; sent in an additonal rec, sent in a business letter about why NU is right for me, my counselor sent in my third quarter grades…i called last week to check my status and they wouldnt tell me anything except that i was still on the waitllist.</p>

<p>i don’t get it, becuase i thought duke was supposedly a harder school to get into than NU!</p>
