[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a message on the Duke website too.[/quote]

The website says extended to 1/2.[/quote]

Yes, the website says 1/2, but the email my kid got said 1/5, confused[/quote]

DD needs to email them tonight and also pick up the phone and call the admissions office as soon as it opens tomorrow morning, Jan. 2.  She should point out this discrepancy clearly and briefly and ask for clarification on that call. Teens sometimes do not think to make an actual phone call to ask a very time-sensitive question, when sometimes a call is the fastest way to deal with a problem.

Of course she should check the admissions website again first thing tomorrow immediately before she phones, in case someone at Duke catches the discrepancy and fixes it overnight.

Before someone posts that admissions offices won't take calls--I can't say whether Duke's will or won't, but we dealt with two colleges' admissions offices via calls for similar issues and it was fine. Worth trying if she's getting truly conflicting information from official sources. She should be concise and ready to say exactly where on the web site it says 1/2 and when and from whom she got the e-mail with 1/5. [/quote]
