Does that really mean no scholarship? The "Financial Aid" tab on SISS says "not ready to release info". Should I still have hope?

Just checked my SISS (got a call this morning) no second page on the acceptance letter which means no scholarship. Oh well, I just feel lucky to have gotten in at all!!

That's what I heard. Also, on the letter it says, "an award will be included on page two of the electronic admission letter".

I think that is correct as well...The admissions person actually told me about my scholarship ahead of time, but not the amount, which I found out in the letter (page 2) when it was released

Waitlisted.
I was not invited to interview at first, so this was a surprise. My decision notice says I'll receive info about scheduling an interview in Durham.

I have a question- Does anyone know if international students admitted to Fuqua get loans for both Tuition and living expenses or just Tuition?

waitlisted after open interview (which I thought went really well but it was my first interview of the application cycle so i guess mistakes were made) but its ok. ross called yest with $$$$ so i'll be declining the waitlist (it feels quite empowering to reject THEM lolol). good luck to everyone on waitlist!!!

I was WL R1. I never got an email or call today, and when I log in to SISS it only has my decision info from December. Anyone else having this issue? Or does this mean that I'm still on the WL, and Duke doesn't confirm that you are still WL with another decision release?

Same issue here. Not sure what's happening

I also was WL'd without an interview. I am surprised they do this as I assumed my lack of interview was a ding. Oh well, I will continue to wait. This is my 3rd WL so hopefully I get in somewhere in the next couple weeks and can release my spot.

Yea, I got two of those myself, rooting for us :-)

Congrats to all that lucky badassess, who got in!

Does anybody know whether Duke's adcom provides feedback for dinged applications? I was dinged at Duke but it might help me to handle WL at Ross if I get info regarding weakness in my application.

As far as I know, adcom don't give feedback, but you may find it useful hiring a consultant? I know a very good one who did a useful ding analysis for me. Happy to recommend.

I am in same situation, since Michigan's begins Thursday, I am thinking about getting to Michigan Wednesday night to do all day Thursday and Friday, before flying out Friday night to Raleigh to do Saturday and Sunday's activities at Duke
