virrg Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Does anyone know how long the waitlist usually is? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPAP-2018 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 First year student here: The Waitlist varies in length each year, and the number of students that gain acceptance off the list also varies considerably each year. And it doesn't become clear until a little later into the Spring. I know it's tough to not have more specific info. There just isn't any. Hold tight and hope for the best! :-) Does anyone know how long the waitlist usually is?

PAJamesy Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Did they only send out waitlist emails today? Any acceptances or rejections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVK17 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi, Everyone who was waitlisted... were you part of January Interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercedeslongton Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I interviewed mid November and got an email from Wendy in December saying that I would hear about final decisions by the end of January/early February. I still haven't heard back - no rejection/wait list/acceptance or anything. Good news for those on the wait list though - if I am accepted, I won't take the spot because I'm going to a school on the west coast. (Though the odds are against me for being accepted at DUKE). Good luck, and I'll post if I hear anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkerallisonk Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Same, interviewed on Jan 10th and was waitlisted today. Any accepted students out there going to decline Duke? Second on the waitlist here and scrounging for any nuggets of hope! So excited for everyone accepted and sending positive energy to fellow waitlisters ????

Jeepy02 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Also received a waitlist email this morning. Interviewed on 1/26. Keeping my fingers crossed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluidworks Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 So did anyone towards the end of January get an acceptance? It seems like a lot of us were waitlisted given that there was supposed to be around 30 seats left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA2017m Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 yeah i got an email in november stating that i would be reevaluated in january... i haven't heard anything yet though? Probably not good news then?? :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerallisonk Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 For those further down the waitlist hoping to hear soon, I was #2 on the waitlist and was accepted today. Hugs! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenside Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm curious...has everyone received a waitlist number? I received a number, but considering there were approximately 30 seats available during the last week of interviews and in the email I was told they were still reviewing applications it seemed a bit unconventional to rank a list while still in the process of reviewing.

They could conceivably add people to the waitlist if some of us withdrew from the list. I'm also hoping (maybe naively) that any review of tabled applicants won't end up pushing me further down the waitlist!

That's basically my concern at the moment. I wonder how many seats have actually been filled at this point. Reading earlier post they have already dipped into the waitlist a bit, but I'm not super high up so I'm just hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleister33 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Has anyone else from the waitlist heard of any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenside Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Has anyone else from the waitlist heard of any news? I emailed Wendy about a week ago and was told that I, including everyone else on the waitlist, have moved up a couple spots as expected from the most recent comments about admission from the waitlist. It's still strange to me that there really hasn't been much noise about flat out acceptances. Usually I expect to see some kind of update on the forums about people getting the good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPAP-2018 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Dont worry about that so much — same thing happened to us last year. Here's the thing – not everyone uses this Forum. Boom Shakalaka! And movement can happen as time goes on. I know someone in my class who got in really, really late when someone else withdrew super late due to some big-time family issues.

uwec96 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 There are two things I'm doing as a waitlister: 1) Keeping $1125 set aside so I can pay the deposit 2) Downsizing my junk so I'll be ready to move on short notice If I never get The Call, I'll have money in the bank and a really clean house:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepy02 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Last update I received, I had moved up 3 spots on the waitlist. How did you receive the update?

fluidworks Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I jumped ahead 6 spots. Still seems too high to get in but maybe stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
