Yeah several

But this mail doesn’t state a $75 reduction. It mentions the app fee is waived for this cycle

Wow. They did not give a full app fee waiver even after I visited the campus. Just got the 75 dollar waiver.

They recently revamped their whole waiver process

It used to be a 75$ discount earlier
Now it seems like they're waiving the fees!

Until last year they used to waive the entire fees. They didn’t waive the fees this time in EA and R1 atleast.

Maybe the application volumes were low

I have my doubts about this!

But in any case, it's awesome that they started giving out full waivers!

I sent them some professional updates regarding the new project I am working on and how I can contribute to Duke with this experience. I even spoke to current students and alumni and mentioned that. I was also following the Duke’s basketball game and mentioned that under personal update.
