advise needed from someone with knowledge in int'l admissions

<p>Hello,
I am a prospective applicant from Nepal. Duke normally accepts only one student from Nepal each year, and this year, a Nepali studying in London has already been accepted through ED. Do you think it still makes sense to apply to Duke? (I know the if-you're-good-enough-then-you'll-be-accepted-no-matter-what rule still applies.)</p>

<p>I say still apply. You never know.</p>

<p>Apply. If you are a competitive candidate, there are always chances to get accepted.</p>

<p>Are you applying for financial aid? The issue of admissions is drastically different for intl students who don’t need aid and intl students who do.</p>
