Hi. Cat12! I was originally waitlisted after the second round of interviews! I received an acceptance offer last week (I believe it my offer was sent out at the same time decisions from the third round of interview were sent out) so don’t lose hope!! From firsthand experience, they are pulling individuals off of the waitlist along the way. Stay positive

Thank you @sawood for telling me your firsthand experience that definitely gave me a little bit more hope back haha! I really appreciate that you took the time to respond to my post!! I hope you have a great holiday season!!

I’m not certain of this by any means, but I don’t think the waitlist is 150 applicants long! According to their website, they interview 250 applicants. I cannot remember if it was in the information they sent out, an information session, or exactly where, but from my understanding they accept, waitlist, and decline an equal number of applicants from each interview, meaning around a third of those interviewed would be waitlisted, ~83 across all interviews.

I think this makes sense because if 150 people were on the waitlist with a class of 90 matriculating that would mean basically everyone who interviews is accepted or waitlisted (which is possible but was not my understanding).

Again, I could be wrong! Either way, stay hopeful and I wish you the best of luck!  

That does make sense!! I hope you are right haha! I am really grateful that you took the time to respond after my post!! I hope you have a great holiday season!!

Nope, nothing yet. Do we think they are still accepting or are we just waiting for a waitlist/rejection email?

Same I have not received anything

Hi! So last year there were 4 interview sessions like this year, and in total, they build a waitlist of ~150 (don't quote me on that, but I know it's a big waitlist / that sticks in my head). They will pull people off the waitlist in between interview sessions. I was in interview group 2 last year, waitlisted a week after, and then found out my official rank in Feb. I do not think it will be Feb this year given interviews ended in Nov / Dec last year. I was #49 and never got off (and didn't expect it, I laughed / cried that day). They kept me on the waitlist until August 12th and then I got my official rejection.

Hope that helps!

Yep! Did the link on Tuesday when I got the email (like immediately lol) and got the conformation yesterday around 4:30pm.

Oh wow I did not know the waitlist was so long. I defiantly lost some hope reading this but I am really appreciative of you responding! I wish you the best of luck on the interview!!

Just got an interview invite today as well! I do think it's for an actual spot in the class. I interviewed last year, and was waitlisted (obviously never got off haha, hoping for a better round this year!), but that's how all the sessions were last year - for actual spots (and of course you could get waitlisted or rejected as well). I'm also going by the fact there were 4 sessions last year, and this January one would be the 4th (and I'm assuming final) session.

My date is Jan 12th, and I selected the morning slot. I look forward to meeting y'all virtually, and best of luck to everyone!

Hi! I was wondering if you had some insight of how the waitlist is for duke since you were waitlisted last year? I am currently waitlisted(since the first round of interviews and I am really interested in attending this school)! P.S. Goodluck on your interview!!

During my interview day, they said that they had already begun pulling people from the waitlist of previous interview days.

Thank you so much for letting me know!!  I interviewed in oct & was waitlisted!

Regular grading.

Thank you!!  

Hi I was wondering if anyone from the interview or in the program knows if the PA program itself grades pass/fail or regular grading system (A, B, etc). Thanks in advance

Has anyone who interviewed on Sept 19th received a call? Or any other news? Didn't they say October 8th?  

Hi! I haven’t gotten any news! And I think they did say it was the 8th but I think it was tentative
