shellyk Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Anyone interviewing on 1/14? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rknowle Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I just received a phone call offering me an interview for next Wed. I declined the invitation due to already attending another program. Good luck to whoever gets the spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellyk Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Can anyone remind me what the supplemental application entailed? It feels like forever ago and honestly they all run together, but I want to be prepared in case they ask about it in the interview. Thanks!

Cindi23 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Can anyone remind me what the supplemental application entailed? It feels like forever ago and honestly they all run together, but I want to be prepared in case they ask about it in the interview. Thanks! It is the one that took me the longest:D But the main essay was describing an experience of personal significance...and how it helped you to grow as a person. There were some optional questions like explaining any gaps in employment or education and if your academics reflect your abilities. Does that help?? In my interview, they did not directly ask me about my supplemental application but it would be a good idea to review it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellyk Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 BnjoeGrl, Any advice for the interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdgraham39 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I interviewed last year and will again on the 29th, but the interview is not application based. They know everything they need to know about you as far as what is on paper. The interview is more behavioral, the will ask questions that are scenario based and see how you answer them in order to determine how you are as a person. They are aware that you can do the work, that is why you got the interview in the first place. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindi23 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I agree with kdgraham39...they did not ask me anything about my supplemental directly. Most of the questions were behavioral and about my past experiences and involvements. They really want to get to know you further...what they can't already tell based on your applications. There is also a group interview which basically tests how you can work in a group. Other than that everyone was very nice and welcoming. They make sure to get your questions answered and want you to feel like you get a really good idea of what the program is like. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASkagg Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Anyone from the January 12/14 interview heard anything yet? I don't remember when they said we should expect to hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStillwagon Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I interviewed on the 12th and they said that the adcom would talk on Friday and start notifying accepted applicants on Monday. However, I didn't realize that Monday was a holiday so not sure if they'll be delaying that until Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enzobenzzo Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Does anybody know how many more interviews they are conducting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellyk Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 From what they said during my interview last week, this week is the last of six weeks of interviews. But I saw that someone on here said they have an interview on Jan 26....so I really don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLStoPA Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah I'll be there on the 26th.. anyone else? It would be quite interesting to be there alone or one of a small number... Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsrustomji Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I interviewed on 1/13/15 and received my acceptance email today :) i OBSESSED over these forums during the application process... so hopefully these posts will help current and prospective applicants estimate the time frames for their application/interviews/acceptances. This has been a three year process for me and i am SO SO happy and grateful to have made it this far. THE BEST OF LUCK to everyone else still in the process or looking to apply in the future!! For those with upcoming interviews.... I will repeat the same that others have already emphasized... be yourself!!!! you received the interview for a reason- they already like you! now make yourself shine even more than what was written on paper. emphasize your devotion, passion, and excitement to be in this field and the obstacles you've overcome to make it this far. Looking forward to meeting my future classmates!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkPeonies Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 mxs, I got the 're-review' email. I interviewed in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAhereicome Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I did as well. I wonder when we will hear back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agee85 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I interviewed 1/13 and was accepted on 1/21! So unbelievably happy :). On my interview day, Wendy said decisions will be made by Feb 1st, so I believe you all should hear back the first week of Feb. I don't know if that applies for those being rereviewed, but adcom seems to make acceptance decisions pretty quickly. Best of luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxs Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 mxs, I got the 're-review' email. I interviewed in November. I did as well. I wonder when we will hear back? I am thinking if they are rereviewing us, they will do it at the same time as the last admissions meeting - so if there are new interviews next week still, their last meeting will probably be on Friday 1/30. If they notify us similar to past notifications, I would think we'd know by Wednesday 2/4 if we're accepted. I think acceptances come by email & rejections by snail mail. So hopefully only two more weeks of waiting. I interviewed in October. I have been accepted elsewhere but I haven't entirely given up hope on being accepted to Duke. This waiting period has been intense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAhereicome Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I agree! Very stressful! Does anyone know how many people have been accepted so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLStoPA Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 PAhereicome, I interviewed on Monday, Jan. 26th and as of that moment Wendy said that they still had about 1/3 of the class to fill, so there were still many slots open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
