Yep I did. I’m still secretly hoping that by first week of April they meant this Friday

Yes! I wonder if they go back and re-look at our entire file or if they go off of interviews?

From what I understand from my interviewer, the interviewer writes up a report/review from the interview, and that is added as a piece to the admissions packet (with all our other submissions), and the whole thing is treated as a composite. That’s what I understand, at least.

They have one person review your file in depth when submitted and make a report, a separate person do the interview part, and then the admissions committee looks at everything and ranks everyone and makes decisions.

Yes, me too! I just found out this afternoon that I was accepted to a second school, which is great, but I need to let them know around April 1. I’ve already put a deposit down on one, but this second one trumps the first, but I don’t want to forfeit a second deposit. ??‍♀️ Don’t get me wrong—I’m super thankful to have options, but the waiting is getting more and more difficult, and I don’t want it to get more and more expensive. ?

I'm reminding myself that God’s in control—it’ll work out. Let’s all keep encouraging each other. Here’s to finding out sooner rather than later! ?

Congratulations!! My only suggestion would be waiting till the last day to decide whether to leave a deposit at that school as well. Fingers crossed to finding out our decisions ASAP.

I have a question for everyone. Is anyone still contemplating Duke due to their cost? Just reading about their program gets me excited and keeps me going but I’m honestly super nervous about incurring the huge debt.

I have the same feelings. I would wait until you get your acceptance, review your financial aid package, then make your decision.
