karebear12892 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just submitted my application to Duke! Definitely a long shot, but you can't win if you don't play, right? :) Visited the campus last fall and absolutely loved it. Good luck to all!

didymus Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Way to go submitting early! Looks like Duke gives priority to those submitted before August 15, so you are definitely on the ball.Seems like CASPA processed your transcripts very quickly, which is great. Mine have been sent in and as soon as they are confirmed by CASPA, I'll be submitting as well.Best of luck on your application cycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didymus Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just submitted to Duke as well. I contacted CASPA to ask if transcripts needed to be verified before submitting and they said to submit now, and that the information from transcripts will be updated for the program at that time. So it just got real! I'm submitting to all of my programs today now that I have this info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStillwagon Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I've submitted also. They won't mark your application "complete" until your transcripts are in. I interviewed last year at Duke and it was really great. Unfortunately, I didn't get in just because of the sheer volume of applicants that are all highly competitive.

didymus Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 I've submitted also. They won't mark your application "complete" until your transcripts are in. I interviewed last year at Duke and it was really great. Unfortunately, I didn't get in just because of the sheer volume of applicants that are all highly competitive. CASPA's website says that it could take up to 4 weeks for programs to get the applications materials after they are marked "complete" by CASPA, which could take from 2-4 weeks alone. Did you apply to many programs last cycle @DStillwagon? Is there any insight you can offer applicant this cycle on how the process was for you last year? What was great about the program in your view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karebear12892 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 @DStillWagon, when did you submit your CAPSA application, and when did you hear back about an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStillwagon Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I only applied to three programs last cycle. I assumed I'd get into my local program and the other two were "eh, why not?" choices. I didn't get an interview at the local program (West Liberty). I was invited to Duke and put on the interview wait list for Elon. I submitted my application at the end of July. Got an invite in November. It is very nerve wracking because of the waiting and uncertainty. Duke's program was very nice. The interview was an all-day process. Presentation in the morning, lunch with current students, class observation, individual and group interviews in the afternoon. Lunch was delicious too!

DStillwagon Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I should add that the entire interview day was pretty laid back. Obviously, we all had a little bit of nervousness but I felt pretty comfortable. They really try to get to know you as a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DStillwagon Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Absolutely holistic. Duke loves diversity. I interviewed with 9 other people who had a very diverse background. One woman was in music for 20 years before deciding to do PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdizzl11 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 That is funny that you say that because that is my situation. I have been an audio engineer for the last 15 years and have made a career change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karebear12892 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Has anyone heard anything back from Duke at all? Even just a confirmation that materials were received? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStillwagon Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If I remember correctly you won't hear anything until the supplemental apps go out. After that you won't hear anything until interviews are offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
