On his way to Duke


Dear Rolvix:

Congratulations – Duke University is now your university. I would like to invite you to join a most impressive group of students who will comprise our Class of 2014.

The Admissions Committee is especially pleased to offer admission to so many extraordinary students who care enough about Duke to apply under our Early Decision program. You and the other 600 students admitted this month will be the core of our incoming class next fall.

Your classmates will come from around the world and will bring to Duke a wealth of perspectives and interests. The student body you are joining, among the world’s most talented and most engaged, is a thriving community enriched by its diversity. You should be proud to be one of the contributors to that community, for you have earned your place within it. You and your classmates will distinguish yourselves academically and personally over the next four years, and you will leave Duke exceptionally well prepared to make a difference in the world.

We do ask you to complete some paperwork to conclude the Early Decision process. First, to secure your place in the Class of 2014, please return the reply card you receive in the mail as soon as possible, and no later than January 5, 2010. Second, if you have already applied to other colleges, please remember that you need to withdraw your application from each individual school.

Finally, I realize that with the admissions process behind you it will be easier for you to enjoy the rest of your senior year. Please remember that we expect you to maintain high standards of academic performance and personal behavior in and out of school, including abiding by our Community Standard, which you will find on the reply form. If there is any change in the information in your application – including academic, personal, disciplinary, or legal matters – you need to contact me within 72 hours. 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 and my best wishes for continued success for the remainder of your senior year. The faculty and I look forward to having you among us.

Sincerely,

Christoph Guttentag
Dean of Undergraduate Admission
