East Coast ... hard to maintain optimism at this point.

On the negative side: A ding never feels good

On the positive side: All my previous dings were w/o interview. It is oddly comforting to know that I can be as unimpressive in person as I am on paper!

Kind of feels like this:

Congrats to the admits!

Anyone still getting calls in California?

Might have missed the boat on this one...

You got into Darden which is in the same tier as Duke, don't sweat it too much.

Have admitted students been sent emails in addition to the phone calls?

Many Congratulations to all the admits. I am very much looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you during BDW and/or Orientation. Also, make sure to buy your Duke jerseys for March Madness. Its quite an honor to put that jersey on.

For those who will be wait-listed, it's not over yet - people do get in off of wait list as we saw today. Also, if Duke is your no.1 choice, and you do decide to re apply, Duke looks upon you very favorably. I was wait-listed last year up until the start of classes and got in this year in EA.

For those who will be dinged, keep fighting the good fight. I was dinged by 7 schools last year, but decided not to give up. In the end, it's all works out.

My SISS portal in "Application status & quick links" tab has got a third tab "Decision Not Ready".. Kind of excited that i may be on the waitlist.. (Anyday better than a ding..) Anybody else seeing the same thing???

Thanks!

So how the hell do we get off waitlist, assuming "decision not ready" means waitlist

mine also says decision not ready. i don't know what it means but i don't think so many people can be on the waitlist as then it would be counterproductive.

Ding ding ding ding ding!
I viewed Duke not as a safety by any means, but it was an alternative option for me, and I think that was ultimately my downfall as it likely showed in my essays. Best of luck to everyone else, and congrats to all the admits!
