Dear Elsie:
1 V9 T" n3 T! ]  F+ ], _
$ s* f$ K+ A5 o' y. D% S* EIt is with very real regret that I must tell you that we will not be able to offer you a place in the class entering Duke this fall. I realize that this is disappointing news; I want to assure you that we considered your candidacy carefully and that our decision was not an easy one.

This was in many ways an extraordinary year for the admission process at Duke. We received more than 19,000 applications, including the largest number of Regular Decision applications in our history. And our applicant pool was one of the strongest academically we have ever had. As a result, in filling the 1,665 places in the first-year class the Admissions Committee faced an extraordinary number of difficult decisions, and found itself not being able to admit students it might well have admitted just a year or two ago. It is clear to us that almost all of our applicants are outstanding young women and men, people who we know are fully capable of performing well in Duke抯 classrooms and of contributing to our community. Unfortunately, the sheer volume of applicants means that we can admit only a small percentage of the students we find appealing, a task that was made exceptionally difficult by the unusual strength and size of our applicant pool this year.

You may be asking what was lacking in your application; for most of our applicants the honest answer is nothing. If you抮e like most of the students who applied, you抳e put much effort into doing well in school, you made significant contributions in your extracurricular activities, and you worked hard to balance the many demands on your time. The Admissions Office staff and the Admissions Committee carefully evaluated each application, finding it extremely challenging to distinguish among the many exceptional students who would flourish here. The decisions of the Admissions Committee are guided by our understanding of our applicants as individuals, and our sense of which students together, with their particular combination of interests, backgrounds, and experiences, approach our sense of the class that is most appropriate for Duke right now. We have no quotas by school, by state, by race or ethnic group, by gender, or by area of interest. Our decisions are ultimately based on our evaluation of the many factors that together suggest to us the best match between our applicants ?individually and as a group ?and Duke. In creating our class and choosing among the large number of outstanding candidates, we could select only some of the many applicants who would be wonderful Duke students and alumni. I can tell you that at one point or another every staff member remarked how difficult the selection process was this year.

You and your fellow applicants have exceptional academic and personal qualifications, and I regret that we could not offer you a place in the first-year class. I know that you will find an institution at which you will be happy; I know, too, that the school you choose will benefit from your presence. I wish you all the success I know you are capable of as you pursue your education further.

' w# K3 [; F! SSincerely,

XXXX

Dear Grace:

5 x, a$ ~5 y( O( Z0 b; l# ECongratulations! The Admissions Committee and I take great pleasure in offering you a place in the Duke University Class of 2011. We are delighted to give you the opportunity to become part of the Duke community.

3 O$ }+ |7 \! A6 [You should be extremely proud of your achievements. Your many successes inside and outside of the classroom have earned you a place among the world's best students. The competition this year was extraordinarily keen ?we received more than 19,000 applications for just 1,665 places in the first-year class. The students we have admitted come from across the country and around the world, and bring to Duke an extraordinary variety of interests, backgrounds, experiences, and talents. You and your classmates can expect to be challenged intellectually, to form enduring bonds of friendship and community, and to share in the excitement of discovery that pervades our campus.

We do ask you to complete some paperwork to become a member of the Class of 2011. In the admit packet we sent you through the mail is a reply card ?please return it to us as soon as possible, and no later than May 1, 2007, to indicate your intent to enroll at Duke. If you think your reply card will not reach us by May 1, please fax us a copy (fax number: 919/684-8128) before you mail the original card to our office. Even if you find that you must decline this offer, please be sure to return the reply card so that our records will be accurate.

3 |8 p) v2 [) G  s+ H+ u9 |Your packet also includes a copy of Duke抯 Community Standard as well as an instructions and enrollment checklist, with vital information regarding tuition and financial aid, housing, dining, and other campus services. Please read this material carefully. Once you decide to enroll, you will be hearing from a number of different departments of the University over the coming months, and this material will give you important background information. And don抰 forget what it took to get you to this point; we fully expect you to maintain high standards of academic performance and personal behavior in and out of school, including abiding by our Community Standard. If there is any change in the information in your application ?including academic, personal, disciplinary, or legal matters ?it is essential that you contact me immediately. We reserve the right to withdraw our offer of admission should your standing in any of these areas change, or if you do not meet the terms of the Community Standard, between now and the beginning of our fall term.

You have my warmest congratulations on your admission to Duke. The faculty and I look forward to having you among us in August.
