<p>has anyone received their duke packages in the mail yet? i know the admissions decision letter online said that our packet includes paperwork and other info, but i haven’t received anything yet =\ it said we have to postmark our replies indicating our decisions by may 1st, so i’m getting a little bit worried. sorry if i sound a little paranoid! >.<</p>
