<p>I got this invitation in one of my emails inviting me to a little cultural weekend at Duke but as I was looking at the Q and A's about this event i noticed a question said "Does this invitation mean I've been admitted to Duke?" .. the response effectively said "Your chances of being accepted are excellent" </p>
<p>I was wondering if this is really good news or nothing to hype up.. has anyone gotten a similar message?</p>
<p>Congrats! People who got this last year, got accepted to Duke. </p>
<p>When did you get the email?</p>
<p>Why are they always so ambiguous about this. </p>
<p>You are in. Period. </p>
<p>They are teasing you. Maybe they are reading this thread and teasing me.</p>
<p>I’m onto your games, Duke Admissions Office!!! And I won’t stand for it!</p>
<p><em>is sitting down</em></p>
<p>@makingithappen Thanks, and got the email last night</p>
<p>@philovist you think so? I appreciate the reassurance</p>
<p>I got the email too. It sounded like a likely letter with an invitation to visit.</p>
<p>I got the email! But I also received a “likely letter” 7 days prior from my admissions counselor at Duke. Is anyone else going to the BSAI program?</p>
<p>@klee1195 what did the likely letter look like?</p>
<p>I got two actually @brooksbrother, is that weird? One was handwritten from my admissions counselor for my state and that came in late February. Today I got a second telling me about Duke Blue Devil Days and how so long as I my grades stay up between now and admissions date they will except me.</p>
<p>I got the invitation also</p>
<p>You should go. I got accepted and had a fun time. It’s one of the only programs that allow you to visit a school for more than two days.</p>
<p>@carltonb17 was everyone accepted who attended and what were some of the activities?</p>
<p>Got one too</p>
<p>@alargeblackman14 are you going?</p>
<p>Do you guys know if we would be staying in hotels or in the dorms while we’re there</p>
<p>You stay with a host on campus. Activities were fun and a lot of free shirts</p>
<p>I went last year! It really fun, you meet a lot of cool people, and there are plenty of events in the day and night!! All of the people that I know who got the letter were eventually accepted! 
</p>
<p>Congrats again on the likely!</p>
<p>Do any of you know if they pay for anything? I got similar invitations to WashU and Cornell and they’re paying for airfare. I haven’t seen anything on the Duke invitation that really discusses money one way or the other.</p>
<p>Honestly I really want to but I don’t think I can just miss 4 days because I go to a prep school…:/</p>
<p>I could’ve sworn there was a section on financial assistance…</p>
<p>They pay for everything</p>
