First time applicant this year! Nervous and excited to finally be submitting. It was my first interview so I was pretty excited/nervous. Honestly, my experience wasn’t any different from what I found from others online. It was a nice chance to learn more about the program and ask questions directly to current students. The interview itself was pretty standard, and the format is in their site. (I am not saying that to be snide- just to say it was exactly as expected!) As far as the application process, the supplemental applications were sent out later in the summer. It wasn’t anything surprising, either. Just standard questions about you and your experience, and an additional place to write a small essay to basically let them know why you’re interested in Duke/why you think you’re a good fit!

Did you change your personal statement a lot? Or any thing in the supplemental applications?? I did not change my personal statement. I thought about it, but my story about what led me to this point remains unchanged! As far as supplemental and CASPA applications- I updated the new courses I had taken and the tutoring I have done since. I interviewed in November last year. Honestly, not a whole lot changed in that short of a time frame. The biggest difference was that I applied much earlier this year. Good luck to you!!

Guest thatgirlonabike Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I've thrown my application into Duke this year as well. I kind of wish I had applied last year since their program starts so late in the year. The other programs I am looking at start in January.

This is my first cycle, so I'm really keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that I interview at a program that isn't my top choice to start. Just to work some of the nerves out and get a feel for things. You don't come off as snide at all. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrebsCycle Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Has anyone received a Supplemental yet? Did anyone inquire about it at paadmission@mc.duke.edu like they ask us to do in CASPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmelzar Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I contacted them- it won’t be out until after July 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you worried about not hearing back from Duke before your other program begins? ((I am!)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packman PA Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I just submitted my application after getting all my letters of recommendation. I am a re-applicant and hope to make it this year. Best of luck to everyone and now the fun game of waiting again...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellosummer Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I applied late last cycle and was wait listed to interview. Although I wasn't offered an interview, I appreciate the individual feedback Duke provided on my application. It was helpful in preparing to reapply. I used the extra year to write a new essay, retake the GRE, shadow, and continue working. CASPA verified 5/21/18. Still on the look out for a supplemental app/e-mail. Their website asks to allow four weeks minimum to receive the supplemental after CASPA is verified. I just sent an e-mail to the Admission's Coordinator. Automated response: "If you an applicant, please note that we have NOT begun sending out our supplemental applications yet, but plan to by next week."

I am a little but it seems from going through the thread last year that they interview in Oct and Nov and decide the entire class by then. If I am waitlisted and accepted into another program I will probably just go there instead. I'm not getting any younger and need to get this education under way.

Ella0106 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Good luck to you all in this application cycle! I'm a current second year student (as of 2 weeks ago!) and remember being in your shoes not too long ago. Feel free to message me with any questions about Duke. Personal advice: don't get caught up on your stats or comparing yours to others in this thread (or those who get interview invites). As long as you meet the minimum requirements, definitely apply and see where you land! -El Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choops517 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Relieved to come on here and see I'm not the only one who hasn't received any email yet for the supplemental app. I'm noticing a lot of wait list re-applicants, is it common for people to attempt twice for this program before getting in? Also curious how other peoples stats are, this school is a huge reach for me but I can at least say I didn't try. Ive got: -3.56 cumulative gpa -3.44 science -302 GRE -about 2500 PCH give or take as a home healthcare CNA and EMT in an urgent care -about 150 volunteer hours as a campus EMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TayPrePA Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I received the email for the supplemental this evening. It’s being glitchy too and didn’t transfer some of my information over from my CASPA app accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packman PA Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I just submitted my application this past weekend so was not expecting anything yet. Also, CASPA still has not verified my application to Duke but know it can take a bit of time. About the question of applying to Duke more than once, when I spoke to Duke about my application last cycle and areas to improve they did tell me that a number of people do apply more than once. I also want to say that Duke taking the time to let me know what areas to work on in my application was a big plus and hope to get a interview and accepted this year. Best of luck to everyone.
