I am in. So relieved at this point. Thanks to everyone for their help.

P.S. I was worried at first because I saw "Application Status: Incomplete", but that's just pending the official transcript I think.

That first one is the best one tbh... B/c then you know "worst case is X..."

I am in! I got accepted for the MBA portion of a joint degree program with the Nicholas School of the Environment (MBA class of 2013).

Thanks for the tip to check our actual application status. I had not received any e-mails from Duke today.

Scholarship notifications are supposed to come out approximately two weeks from now according to the decision letter.

Don't give up, stay on the waitlist and show that you have interest. You never know.

waitlisted....ugh.

looking at last years numbers, it appears that those waitlisted got in. This year though it appears they have waitlisted many more. Any idea how many and when they will accept wait listed applicants?

Ouch, dinged twice this week (ucla R1 and duke R1)! Here is hoping that my R2 applications are much stronger. Congrats to everyone who got in! And to those who got dinged, don't give up until the very end. :P

No - the FAQ specifically says they'll accept people up through August, and I'm definitely not waiting until then.

I'm leaning towards putting in my deposit, and moving on. Then at least I'll know what I'm doing. It would have been a tough choice for me otherwise. Now, it's a relatively easy one. :lol:

As a corollary, I think, b/c of the large number of applications AND b/c they have a whole other round, they probably only took "sure bets", and put everyone else on the WL. I think they're saying they have an INCREASE in app volume, so they basically have more to choose from.

If you look at the deadlines, Rd. 1 and Rd. 2 submit their deposits around the same time.

The WL could be a good way of "filtering" out the people who are really interested, and the ones who are on the fence actually.

If you withdraw while on the waitlist, how does that count towards their stats?

Just got the email to check status...couldn't bring myself to do it otherwise...and I'm in! Whew. Big deep breath. The journey is over for me, but I wish the best to everyone else out there. I'm 31, so I hope that gives some hope to somebody somewhere.

waitlisted here as well... It seems like a disproportionate amount of us have been WL! May really be to sortthings out for them I think... Do ou have any idea of how\when people get off the WL? Does it happen simultneously with R2\R3 decisions or not?
Thanks!
