Duke take very few after Thanksgiving applicants. More so than any other t14. Wish I knew that sooner lol

15:23

@UnnaturalLikeGoat: I don't remember if I submitted it December 1st or November 30th... it would be ridiculous if they did that when their deadline is February

@saulgoodmanprotege: how do you know this? is it historically this way or did they post about it somewhere??? I need answers :/
Just look at lsd admits last few years

Duke has already accepted 50+ more people then they have in past years (that have updated LSD) should we be concerned if we haven't heard back? prob
NonchalantPuppy
21:16
Ig there were more 2020-21
NonchalantPuppy
21:16
ugh i want to get in
4:35
@NonchalantPuppy: There's also like 300 withdrawals that will probably happen. There's that person on reddit that posts data of application date and if they've heard back and they've barely touched after November. I wouldn't worry about it.
Is Duke gonna have an R/WL wave today?
does duke call or email for an A
They email

Just got waitlisted. From the looks of it, only one person on lsd last year got an acceptance from the WL. Oh boy.
10:16
@8888887777776t6t: keep in mind those decisions happen after everyone’s cycle has wrapped up! If I got in off a WL in July, I probably wouldn’t think to come back here and update my profile. For that reason I don’t think LSD is indicative of waitlist movement
