Anyone else? Wonder if the dual degree applicant waitlist emails go out in a seperate wave? (Hopeful, hopeful)

Hmm. No waitlist email either. A straight ding, then? I guess my GPA was more of a hindrance than I thought.

Just got the waitlist email as well!

I also just got a waitlist email. Waitlisting me seems to be the popular thing to do this year.

Hahahahahaha. Love it.

I just got an e-mail placing me on the waitlist. 167/3.7x/non-URM. Been complete since 9/26.

Based on the yield rate people have been talking about on this thread, and none of my own research or insight, I'll probably stay on and see what happens.

slightlyanonymous · Post by **slightlyanonymous** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 11:36 am

So the consensus looks like, overwhelmingly, 2/13 decision was a ding and 2/17 was a WL with a few exceptions?
Edit: and if this board is at all representative of the general Duke trend, the waitlist has about 7000 people on it?

WL! YES!

166 3.7x

I'd say so.

I applied dual degree and my status checker changed to the cryptic "Your file is under review. A decision has not yet been made." a couple of days ago.

waitlisted! 164/3.88. Waitlist seems to be the most popular outcome for me. But at least no school thinks I'm rejectable...yet!

Don't you remember me Duke? I think we can have a really special relationship... You should make a decision...

I received an email offering me a spot on the "priority reserve list." #s are 170, 3.4

Paichka · Post by **Paichka** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 11:44 am

Ah. Waitlisted.

Oh well.

dresden doll · Post by **dresden doll** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 11:45 am

I got WLed as well.

I'm curious to see how many people make it onto the priority reserve list. That's likely the first place Duke will turn to when accepted candidates withdraw.
