I asked my counselor today if they had any movement during past couple weeks and she said no, we didn't have anyone drop out in June. That contradicts the earlier WL admit. So frustrating.

Honestly, all this zero movement stuff sounds like nonsense to me (and clearly there are people reporting admits to disprove it)...Duke is a great school, one that I can't get personally seem to get into, but its not like Stanford, which I'm sure has even reported some movement. I find it hard to believe that every school in the top ten has wait list movement and many of them have movement that is actually quite considerable, but duke has virtually none...i mean do they shower you with 100 dollar bills, beluga caviar, and dom perignon or something at blue devil weekend?
Good point hookem. I don't consider myself an expert, but the lack of movement is very surprising. I honestly feel that there could be two reasons: a) Duke really did over admit this year which is odd because the Gmatclub yield for Duke is fairly low (based on what I observed on this forum).
B) they are waiting for all other schools to trim down their waitlists before Duke opens the flood gates.
The only WL admit reported here is from last week. That person is coaching a Russian hockey team so it could be very possible that he/she told Duke that a decision is needed at least a month before the school starts.
It's all speculation at this moment. Lets hope that my theory of Duke opening flood gates holds true. If not, given the fact that we are still on WL, our chances will be very high in ED/R1. Are you going to Darden?
