Woooop provisionally accepted. This whole super fast response thing really builds goodwill towards Duke, I think.

Got the email I was hoping for! Provisionally admitted! It feels pretty good to know I'm (provisionally) admitted already in September!

I wrote neither. In retrospect, probably a stupid decision, but it didn't hurt my app apparently.

Ok, so i thought I had a solid "Why Duke" written. When I went back and looked at it I saw that I had structured a sentence like this: "The thing can help with this; however, it can also open doors to that, or be useful if I wanted to practice this."

Pretty sure I have an inconsistent tense somewhere there. The "wanted" should be a "want", right?

Auto-Ding?

Yup, wrote both. But I had something to write for both. If I didn't have a legit reason to write the Why Duke I don't think I would have.

i disagree that you're worrying too much. IMO they will probably not only reject you, but also spread the word and blackball you at other top schools. enjoy cooley hth
