<p>I meant crazy as in it would take the mail system five days to send a packet within a state. I love georgia tech's campus. But Duke is better!</p>
<p>obviously... lol duke is an amazing place!</p>
<p>Really?</p>
<p>I thought Tech's campus was very "blah." It was a bit scattered (granted, it's in Atlanta!), and the red brick really did nothing for me. It's a fantabulous engineering school, though. #4/#5 nationally, if I'm not mistaken.</p>
<p>My sister went there, though. So I guess I should probably keep my mouth shut!</p>
<p>:X</p>
<p>I truly expected GA Tech's campus to be "blah" and I am not a big fan of Atlanta, but I was very impressed with the facilities and the enthusiastic tour guides and info sessions when we visited (BTW, I'm Cameron Crazy's Mom). I'm a Duke alum and very partial to my alma mater, but have encouraged both of my kids to explore. (Daughter is at Wake Forest - she just didn't get "the feeling" when we visited Duke).</p>
<p>have u been involved with duke since you graduated? it will help your son a bunch if you have</p>
<p>Been involved with Duke as much as I can - I'm a regular alumni donor (nothing like a building named after me ;-), but I do get recognized in the alumni magazine. I've done a few alumni interviews and appreciate what Duke has given me. My PhD is from NC State, but I truly believe that my Duke degree has opened many doors for me in my career.</p>
<p>We attend as many "local" (Madison Square Garden, Meadowlands Continental Arena) Duke basketball games as possible, does that count?</p>
<p>i dont know about basketball... but being a donor and doing interviews will definately help his chances. he is pretty comperable to me.. except he has the alum thing going for him haha.. high rank, decent test scores.</p>
<p>Just kidding about the basketball - it's become a "tradition" for my father (who loves Duke), me and "Cam Crazy" to attend Duke basketball games whenever we have the opportunity - no luck in getting tickets to games in Cameron...</p>
<p>I've already told "Cam" that I expect to meet you in August on East Campus when y'all move in.</p>
<p>Isn't great to have a mom that likes to talk about college? Haha, oh well. Its good to have encouragement every once in a while. I just wish the time would fly faster. Every tick of the clock seems to slow down!</p>
<p>whoa we have like a week! i'll be glad to meet him, b/c that would mean that we both got in :) cam crazy, what major you looking into?</p>
<p>I was thinking of Mechanical Engineering. Later, if I decide to go to graduate school, which I'm 95% sure I do, I want to go into Aerospace Engineering. How about you?</p>
<p>cameron crazy, its been a while since they went to Iowa State, probably like six years or so, but they didn't win anything at world finals. She is now a senior at Notre Dame.</p>
<p>i would major in mechanical, probably, if i went to duke :)</p>

<p>now we have 4 of the 220 pratt ED'ers hehe</p>
<p>I think the Duke app said that 21% of the apps for duke come from the middle atlantic states. That means, if we follow this idea, that 46 people are applying to Duke from the mid-atlantic states, and are applying ED to Pratt, so we have a good showing in this forum, assuming that NYYbaseball99 is from new york</p>
<p>i'm from new jersey...(bring on the bon jovi jokes)</p>
<p>haha, thats still mid-atlantic. You seem to get lots of insults since your so ready for them! I don't think this a very insulting forum. Haha</p>
<p>We're nice people over here in the Duke ED Roster:) Although my 4th block tends to break out the NJ jokes often...</p>
