All I know is tons of schools had "waves" first week of december last year, like dec 8ish lol I had hoped the human side with thanksgiving's date this year would make them do a wave this week before, like imagine the emotional tie for someone that could get hys getting their duke A this week and celebrating with family, maybe they come to duke now when before it was a no. But the good money bet is that dec 8-17 is when the waves come

I'd only check a status checker to make sure my application is complete. Anything else is just asking for an anxiety attack. Schools will contact us when they have a decision ready.
