I have been waited listed.

I did not get an opportunity to interview. DO you think that is why I was wait listed?

Sorry to hear about some of the dings folks.

If nothing else, you may have been on the fence for them. An interview could have sealed the deal. I don't know what their procedure is, but making a trip down there might be part of your "get off the list" strategy.

Yeah, interviews are important for Duke. I flew coat to coast for my interview even though I qualified for an alumni interview.

Personal issues forced me to cancel my interview. I will plan to do an interview, but how will this affect my changes of being accepted. Will it mean that I go into the third round, where selectivity rates are pretty low?

I hope that they do not send emails informing us that our decision is ready! That would just be one GIANT slap in the face! :lol:

Congrats to everyone that is in! I hope to see y'all at the end of the month.

I am sorry to hear about those who did not get in - just remember that getting in/not getting in at one school has nothing to do with how you'll fare at another, so don't lose hope!

Is anyone still awaiting a decision? pelihu?

I think showing your face at the campus is crucial way to show your interest for the program.
I have never visited Kellogg ( I am not saying this was THE reason I got ding. but I certainly believe it was a reason)

As lhotseface implied, it is important!~

Yes.

Congrats to all admits and condolences to those who were not. I am applying next year, but I am just as anxious/nervous/pooping pants for all of you.

Kidderek, consider yourself lucky. You are watching the bittersweet pain that is admissions day. Remember it, because it'll help you cope next year.
