Decision mailed 2/29 but the letter is dated the 26th. Also up north so it took a few days.

Generous but maybe not enough. Lots to think about!
Got mine in the mail too (don't know the exact date, maybe yesterday?). The scholarship isn't enough though :(.

Just checked for the lolz and saw my scholarship decision was mailed. Pretty surprised as I interviewed 2/23 (a week ago) and was told to expect a 3-4 week turnaround.

Good thing Duke has an excellent hospital, they just gave me a heart attack by sending me a packet of brochures while my financial information is also in the mail (per status checker).

Anyone try to negotiate yet? I'm trying to figure out if they would be receptive this early.

I was going to wait until after ASW. But that was kind of an arbitrary deadline I set. Interested to hear what others are doing

So the scholarship offers they mailed out combined need AND merit, right?

Yeah bc it will seem like you don't care BUT it's also a 30 min Skype interview so you should hopefully be able to find some time.

No. If you cant make time then dont stress it. They are optional (helpful but still optional). But if you want to do one, email dean hoye. They may set you up with an interview after hours.

Curious about this as well. Did they actively negotiate or did you get a "let's wait and see" response?

Just got my scholarship package. Fairly generous but I have a better package from UVA, which is a better fit for my interests so I'll be withdrawing. Best of luck to everyone here!

The offer is basically what I expected and in line with the other offers I've received. Feel free to PM for details.
