<p>I know that UNC only has 1.3% of their students from other countries. but i am still very sad, for I feel I can not win when the pool comes to be extremely competitive. duke must have a more competitve pool, though they give more spots for internationals than unc does</p>
<p>Wait, did RD already hear back? I’m trasnfer so only applied last weekend. When do you think I’ll know?</p>
<p>i thought it was March 25 at 6? Does it say the notification date anywhere on the actual website?</p>
<p>From out of state, UNC is said to be more selective than Duke, since only 16% of UNC is from OOS. I don’t have statistics at hand to back that up, though.</p>
<p>its gonna be very difficult this year for internationals applying for aid.</p>
<p>I’m considered an international student (since I don’t have permanent residency in California, where I’ve been living in since I was eleven…ha…), but I didn’t apply for aid. Too much paperwork, and if I were to get into a school like Duke I can get a sponsor from my home country.</p>
<p>I am not applying to international FA…but it gonna be still very competitive</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>except the applicant pools at each school are probably pretty different.</p>
<p>i am applying for aid as an international and i know that my chances are very very bleak of seeing any of you this fall at Duke…anyway good luck to all of you and may you all get admitted to the RIGHT place…</p>
<p>Thank you, vandit_daboss. Best of luck to you, too! :)</p>
<p>vandit_daboss… I am just in the same situation as you are. However, I cannot stop loving Duke, although I know the chances “are bleak”, as you say.</p>
<p>i’m in the same situation as you guys too, except i got my greencard about a week back!
but my gut tells me it’s too late = (</p>
<p>thank you everyone and best wishes to all of you once again.</p>
<p>Duke is awesome. 8 days now</p>
<p>I heard that if Duke wins the NCAA Tournament, the admission this year will end as a nightmare for many of us, since the ad. process will be a lot tougher :(</p>
<p>^ seriously??</p>
<p>^^ That sounds awful… I really just want to know whether or not I got into Duke. It’s one of my top choices (though it’s kind of far from NY), but I know that getting in is just not going to happen.
The chances are, indeed, bleak. But we can always hope!
Good luck to everyone!
(But especially me :D)</p>
<p>The tourney won’t be over when decisions come out.</p>
<p>I want to wish everyone good luck and thanks to everyone who offered me good luck!</p>
<p>I just talked to an admissions officer who confirmed the march 26 decisions release date…</p>
