That’s normal with the amount of indian applicants. In the slack channel with early decision admitted students there are already a lot of indians

Can you share the slack channel?

I also received the "Not the final decision mail" . Should I be hopeful? Is this how Duke traditionally operates?

You should have received it in their acceptance email and I believe it’s also in the admitted students portal

What exactly did the email say? And we’re you sent an interview invite?

Ok I wasn’t aware that it’s for official students. I’ve applied to R1 and have only received interview invite

Did anyone receive a total reject mail as well or did they send this ’polite rejection’ email to everyone?

I think, everyone who was not invited for interview got the same final decision mail

Hello R1 applicants! Please take some time to update the decision tracker when you get a chance. I already helped some people update theirs. This is important for future applicants that rely on the information when making application decisions.
Please reach out if you have any questions!

Duke usually is

"Polite" in sending their rejections

They give you an opportunity to produce a higher score and do something about the profile. But, most of my clients end up getting other offers in the meantime and then send a polite email back to them.

Generally what is the timeline for applicants who have interviewed in the open interview period? Because that doesn’t necessarily mean they were invited for the interview
