Why are you going to the admissions office? What are you going to ask? Wish I could go and find out where they are with the waitlist.

I want to talk to someone face-to-face as opposed to e-mails and phone calls, explain to them my situation and hopefully get some feedback that is better than the generic "wait and see". I'm going to Darden Days anyways, so Duke is just a stop-over on the way.

Theres a poster on another forum that states a duke alum told him Duke's yield was around 60%. If thats true its devastating as their yield is normally around 40-45%/

Interesting. I definitely didn't.

By the way, I never made it to the admissions office. The day of my trip I got an e-mail telling me they were on some kind of a retreat. Will most likely be withdrawing in favor of Darden.

I'm not sure what else they can do. They are basically notifying people as they get withdrawals and they don't want to overfill their class. I'm sure they probably have an ordered list (or a few ordered lists) and they'll basically admit more people as spots open.
Wharton didn't seem to have that problem...

They dinged me. Honestly, at the time I much rather preferred closure to being strung along and then denied. Of course, by then I had Darden in the bag, so maybe it would have been different if I didn't.

Bump. Has anyone heard further news? Seems that if we are still on the waitlist and the deposits have long been due, that we are probably going to be on the summer waitlist? Do you all think we may get any information on how that may work or are we just left to the guessing game?
