<p>Ooo how did you know that?</p>
<p>I got an Up Close pamphlet today. Can I assume I won't get AB Duke?</p>
<p>Yep you can be sure of it--see your likely letter.</p>
<p>Bah. Oh well.</p>
<p>Yeah, same thing happened to one of my friends last year. He was sad when he got his Duke Up Close letter :( But hey--you're still among the top students accepted at Duke and you get to visit Duke for free! Not a bad deal! :) I know I'm looking forward to it.</p>
<p>Here's a suitably depressing post from last year's likely letter thread:</p>

do Duke likelies usually get into other colleges of the same high caliber? (like Harvard, Columbia, MIT, Yale etc. etc.?)

The likelies I know did not get into HYPSM. I don't think there are any actual stats on it, but it would be a safer bet to say the people in the running for the AB Duke scholarship have a good shot of getting into HYPSM.

<p>Apparantly only 28 people were chosen to be finalists this year for the university scholars program. They will only be chosing 8.</p>
<p>That's the one that's based on financial need, right pandraagon?</p>
<p>Edit: Well, here's the link to all of them...<a href="http://dukefinancialaid.duke.edu/merit_main.html%5B/url%5D">http://dukefinancialaid.duke.edu/merit_main.html</a></p>
<p>I didnt know half of the finalists were considered only from NC?!?!?!?!</p>
<p>Hey guys, I just got accepted to the AB Duke scholarship program. It was out of the blue. Unfortunately I will be out of the country during the finalist weekend so I will see if there is anything else I can do.</p>
<p>Congrats, Mitchhhs!
That probably means they've already sent emails to all the AB Duke Finalists, so I'm guessing I'll be getting an up-close brochure in the mail today. Oh well!</p>
<p>I got the Up Close email today. Kinda disappointed but can't say I'm surprised. Congrats to Mitchhhs.</p>
<p>I haven't gotten anything yet. Weird...</p>
<p>hmmm...im a b.n. duke finalist and i didn't get a likely letter though.
im pretty pumped though, and by pretty i mean really.</p>
<p>Thanks for the support!</p>
<p>hey congrats to other AB finalists! are you guys all going? if so, cya there!</p>
<p>On the letter they send to the scholarship finalists, it says finalist will be waived of their self help portion of the tuition. How much self help aid is expected by Duke usually? So, in essense, how much scholarship money does a finalist, if they don't receive the actual scholarship get?</p>
<p>it's probably like $4000 or $5000, based on what i've heard from other schools.</p>
<p>i found out that i'm an ab duke finalist...
and i am dying of happiness!
it's a day i've been dreaming of since the eighth grade...
i just never actually thought that it would come for me. :)
what have you guys heard about the scholarship weekend?
furthermore, can you fill me in on what the ab duke scholarship means?
i was really just hoping to get accepted to the school.
i never imagined being eligible for something like this!</p>
<p>For those A.B Duke finalist, could you kindly post your stats? I just want to know what qualifies you to be the finalist and figure out what the chance is for my D next year.</p>
<p>Thank you all in advance!</p>
