Hmmm. How big and where? Could I do the school emblem in a small size behind my ear?

I'd absolutely get a tramp stamp though but only if they gave me a scholarship

At least 1.5x1.5" and needs to be on a visible part of your face. However, your circumstances are made known to others and it's guaranteed not to be a problem in terms of professionalism/career

Thinking about that previous post, would any of you guys actually get a Blue Devil face tattoo (or any T5's respective mascot/emblem for that matter) for guaranteed acceptance at that school? Interesting thought experiment

Bro I wouldn't even hesitate. I'm already gonna be the sugar daddy to whichever school I go to with the amount of money ima be paying them

That's pretty big haha. And maybe won't affect professionalism but I still want my parents to welcome me home for the holidays

I'd absolutely work school symbolism into my sleeve though, and it can be much bigger

Full neck tattoo of John Harvard like Chrisean Rock's tattoo of Blueface

I think that’s better. Might even get a partial scholarship for the effort

12/5!

Mine was 11/14 I can only imagine how the wait for those who interviewed even earlier

 

[OreoLover365]

Are we sure they normally start calling at noon? Or could it begin later in the day?

I interviewed on 9/11 lol been anxious for 5 months now

Nah I could only imagine

I think it’ll be around noon due to it taking so long to do

Given that they have around 200+ people to call (don't know how many people are accepted minus waitlist acceptances), assuming 5 mins per call, that's about 16.7 hours for one person to complete all the calls. I know Dr. Yee and another faculty member have called in past threads but that's still a lot of calls to make. I'm thinking they start at 12 est to be mindful of PST applicants.

 

[Thanks4Playing Bye]

Do you guys already know what specialty you want to go into? Kinda curious on how I should structure the third year research lol

Thank you for confirming! I guess I’ll be back on Monday then! Catch y’all soon 🫡

Well if the interview day activities with current students is any indication, we’re all likely future orthopods….

The trick is to click the button to watch the thread and check every day at 1pm. You'll know from the number next to the bell if they started calling people.

 

[OreoLover365]

Continuing with the tradition (even though I don’t think it’ll be today)

 

[Thanks4Playing Bye]

It’s gonna be a long week 🥲

 

[BlueDove]

Am I delusional still hoping for an II from here or are they done?

 

[SISUAT]

Blue,
Duke is almost certainly complete with interviews. They should release decisions for everyone sometime this week.

 

[Semsemrocks]

I wish

If you guys get in, do you think you’ll be studying for step 1 and take it during your first year or second since the curriculum is different in that aspect?

Wait, you haven’t started studying for STEP 1 yet?

Wait, you guys haven't taken Step 1 yet?

My baby cousin finally took Step 1 and Step 2 back to back last week.

This is a genuine question so no shade to this person…but it is scary how we are expected to do so much in such a little time

it’s fine I enjoyed reading the comments lol. Yeah I was just thinking it’s a lot to get through in a short time since the curriculum won’t be as depth but I guess we’ll see when the time comes!

 

[Thanks4Playing Bye]

I would say that the fact that you are thinking that far ahead means you're far more likely to get the A then me! Good luck!

Thanks! But truthfully it’s just my anxiety of everything I just overthink everything so I always plan for stuff I don’t know will ever come to pass. Trying my best to manage it

 

[Thanks4Playing Bye]

And just to show I’m super anal like you, I will admit that it drives me crazy I wrote “then” instead of “than” in my post (I’ve since corrected it, but your quote of my post will mock me until my last breath!). You just probably would have proofread before posting!

 

[wannabepedsdoc]

Maybe tomorrow folks

 

[sillychemistry]

I think it’s gonna be Thursday or Friday most likely

 

[williewalnuts]

Maeby Tonight

 

[redradiant]

Does anyone know what might happen if they can't call me? (If I was lucky enough to be accepted) I live internationally with a 12-hour time difference so they won't be able to reach me.

They'll leave a voicemail or at least just email you with the official acceptance. You won't miss out on the offer or anything

Mind being a hero and calling them to ask if its tomorrow or Friday?

 

[obgyn876]

I’m surprised they haven’t sent out rejections yet

 

[dihedralsymmetry]

I think they do it like Harvard where they send all their decisions out together

 

[obgyn876]

I think they do it like Harvard where they send all their decisions out together I know I thought they release decisions in Feb

Missed a call from Durham, NC…

Missed a call from Durham, NC…

Please don't be joking.

 

[Holland]

Please don't be joking.

I'm not. Took a shower and when I came out there's a missed call from a 919 number labeled "Durham, NC". Googled the number and it's affiliated with Duke

 

[huiyiung]
