20:38

Yes, they are still giving them, including today. They are also only up to November 27 for A’s. That December 19 app given an A today is an anomaly.

they also sometimes go back and release As for days they've already passed - theyve done a bit of that for early and mid November.

So Duke emailed a little while ago saying they've narrowed down their waitlist to something very small - any ideas what kind of size they're talking about?
13:17
