Am excited to see what sort of non-Mordecai offers Duke will be giving out. Hopefully they're generous!

What do you mean? My email also said provisionally.

Now it's only provisional if you're applying for merit aid. If you tell them you don't intend to apply for aid, they autochange it to official.

Do the fafsa and need access forms need to be complete before the financial aid interview? I filled mine out today but idk if they'll be processed by then (Friday)

Also I need to redo some steps since I forgot to put Duke in my list of 10 schools lol

[gentlemanscholar]

my status checker says my scholarship letter was mailed on Feb. 6. I think I am an unlikely candidate for a mordecai, so this might be one of the first regular merit aid offers. should get it in the mail soon.

Nope, they just have to be completed before you get a scholarship decision.

[Wackyjack1215]

I've been UR since the middle of December and had a date change (UR2) today, does anyone know if there is any standard for how long it will take for a decision to come? Does a UR date change mean anything at all?

thx!

[supersplittysplitter]

any other "priority reserve list" people out there? have any of you heard anything new from Duke/ been accepted yet?

Ok so maybe I'm a bit naive (excuse me), but is a provisional offer essentially an official offer? I mean is there anyway my offer is rescinded at this point? I would like to be considered for a scholarship but don't want it to hurt my chances for an official offer.

Your offer could be rescinded but only for a major reason - you end up not getting a college degree, you commit a heinous crime, etc. Applying to be considered for a scholarship is not going to make them revoke your offer. The reason they don't give you an official acceptance until after you receive a scholarship (or until you say you don't want to apply for scholarships) is probably for yield protect reasons. If someone doesn't really care about Duke, they may not end up going through with the scholarship interview/paperwork process and that helps the school's acceptance rate.

Priority Reserve mid December. Sent in a LOC/Why Duke mid Jan. Haven't heard anything..

Priority reserve mid-November. LOCI, extra LOR, updated transcripts. Not expecting any movement until April at least. Wish I had the $$ to go down for an interview.

[Mack.Hambleton]

anyone check their mail for $$ yet?

[Ris19]

This might have been answered but if I won't have my FAFSA information until much later, can I use last years information ?

[Beanie14]

anyone check their mail for $$ yet?

Nothing here for me (I'm in the northeast).

[tonysoprano]

"Scholarship decision mailed" on 02/06/15. Hoping for some good news!

You can estimate for 2014, then resubmit later once you've submitted taxes.

Thanks! I'll have to get started on that

[chs1619]

did anyone have their scholarship interview in early january but NOT have the February 6th update on their status checker? does that mean i didn't qualify for aid of any kind? my fafsa and need access are in as well

[LawBron James]

Nothing for me in the midwest. Hopefully by tomorrow or Wednesday it'll be here.
