Admissions to top schools like Duke is certainly a huge accomplishment, but a rejection is, at the same time, not something to feel shame about. There are way more qualified applicants than in the quotas available... I understand how difficult it was upon reading the messages that many will feel disappointed, but always remember: It's never the end of the road.

Hey , anyone who receives the admission let me know how do they inform us and what can we expect on result day ? When it does it reflect on the portal ? And if anyone receives the call then too to just keep everyone informed

To anyone who's taken this, how is the class and what kind of projects do students work on?

Can anyone tell me about their experience in Code Plus and how much it helped with internship recruiting for CS majors a following summer? I got a DukeEngage offer and I’m deciding between accepting it and applying for Code Plus. Also for those who did Code Plus, how competitive is it to get your first choice project? Which types of Code + projects are typically the most competitive?

Does anyone have experience or recommendations for NLP classes?

Has anyone taken Compsci 572 or ECE 590 (NEURAL-NET-BASED LG LANG MODEL) with Lawrence Carin? How were the classes similar or different / how did you choose which one to take?

Any idea when the early deadline applicants get notified of semifinalist status? Thanks!

Hi, I was wondering if the library is open on thankgiving and Black Friday holidays

Hello! I’m a first-year and I recently got accepted to the DukeEngage program on Science and Tech Policy in D.C — has anyone done this program (or know someone who has)? How was the experience? Is it worth it to do this and not try for other summer opportunities like REUs (I’m a Physics+CS double major) or internships? Because I’ve heard reneging on DukeEngage can induce some consequences. I’m interested in science policy but would likely not pursue it as a career, though I’m not set on any career path yet. Thanks!

Auburn fan here. We bought tickets to come to the game next week, and noticed that when they got transferred they sent us 4 tickets in seats 22, 24, 26, 28. Are these seats next to each other and they are just even seats only? Thanks in advance for the responses and we can’t wait to experience the Cameron crazies!

Hi, how research oriented is the MSCS? I don't have that much research experience, but would be interested in the program. Would that dramatically impact my acceptance chances?

Dies anyone have any experience with Duke In programs, particularly Duke In Paris? How competitive are they? Do they care about grades overall or just for the particular language? Any insight helps thanks!!

Is the Duke network down for anybody else? I can't get into duke outlook, canvas, sakai and the university website. My wifi's fine and can access other websites

Can someone explain how sorority "dirty rush" works that is going on now? If someone isn't getting contacted now by a sorority does that mean they will likely not get asked in January? I've been told they are not allowed to even ask questions around campus about it or they will ruin any chance of getting in...how is one expected to get to know the girls and express interest? How do they find out the details of when it will be and if it will definitely be online again in 2025?

i have two tickets (and one ada ticket that i accidentally purchased) for tonight, i cannot make it anymore someone please buy them!!

willing to pay $100 — dm me if you’re interested in selling or have any leads! thanks :)

I’m a sophomore on the pre-med track (biology) and want to study abroad in the Fall. Any recs on good programs for pre-meds? Also looking for something not too expensive.

Where on West am I able to ship packages (with clothing) back home?

He gets mixed reviews on rate my prof. Are there any easier QS classes someone can recommend?

So I’m coming off of a rough first semester and am hoping to boost my gpa a little next semester hopefully. If it comes down to it and I’m not getting an A in the course, is it possible for me to pass/fail my language class? Couldn’t find anything about it online but I don’t see why I couldn’t.

Hi! Does anyone know whether undergrad students (not employee) have direct deposit set up if they contact Bursar? I need to receive compensation from a one-time Duke-affiliated study...

Hi guys, may I ask where you can wash your bikes on campus? Thanks.

Hi I’m a Virginia Tech fan visiting duke for Gameday this Saturday.

How’s parking and when is the best time to get there for a big game? And big tailgates or events prior to kickoff?

What are some places to eat or bars to visit to get the full Duke Experience?

This weekend Duke placed 8th overall in the Big South Division for ICPC and 3rd in their region. This is quite good compared to how they've been performing in previous years. How is Duke ICPC so strong now? I have never met any competitive programmers here. Do we even have an ICPC program or a coach?

Which Multi is easier in terms of exams? I know multi is hard either way, but I'd prefer the class where exams are easier/curved more heavily and/or where exams don't weigh as much. I would be taking Math 212 with Haohua Deng and 219 vs Paul Aspinwall.

I'm debating whether or not I should study abroad my junior year. I'm thinking about duke in glasglow or DC bc im pubpol. Can anyone give me some advice/their personal experience? Thank you so much!

Hey guys! I have not done as well as I could have in my premed classes at Duke. I get A's in mostly all of my classes except the explicit premed courses(C, B-, B, B+). I'm projected to graduate with a 3.4 sGPA. It's only that because my other science courses help to increase my BCPM by a little. I am a first gen student who did not know what they were getting themselves into when coming to Duke for undergrad. I have a good amount of volunteering hours(consistent 2 hours weekly since freshman year for a mentorship program, about 100 hours at the Duke Hospital, and about 50 hours at the Nursing home in durham). I have yet to shadow any doctors. I have held multiple leadership position, and I have research experience(500+ hours) and presented our work in 3 conferences so far. I have also worked part time for 2 semesters but shortly stopped as school became really difficult and my mental health was not good. The only thing is that my premed courses grades are HORRIBLE. At this point I feel like there is NO hope for me getting into medical school even if I can do well on the MCAT. I really hoped to go to med school with only one gap year but idk if that possible. I know everyone's path isn't linear but I was hoping to go in asap as a first gen. I am so stressed and I feel like I have to chose another career path. I have lost all motivation and can't study even when I do have time. I'm not sure about postbacc or smp programs either because those can be very costly and usually do not give finaid. I really hoped to get into a MD school in the future for whatever speciality I may choose in the future. I don't know what to do.
