<p>^No, they’ll let you. Plenty of my friends have done that.</p>
<p>What is the university foundation scholarship? all of a sudden, $1000 has been subtracted from my fees, and I’m kind of confused.</p>
<p>For Chem 151L, the prerequisite is a 5 on AP Chem. If I got a 4 on AP Chem, could I still take Chem 151L?</p>
<p>^ You might be able to if you get permission from the head of the chemistry department, but the chemistry website states that with a 4 on AP Chem, you’re eligible to take Chem 43L.</p>
<p>well i know that in the blue book, it makes a distinction between enforced and not enforced prereqs. is getting a 5 in chem an enforced prereq? how do you tell?</p>
<p>I really, REALLY would discourage you from taking freshman orgo unless chemistry is a major strength. 4 on AP Chem indicates that it’s not really a strength, especially compared to the rest of your peers.</p>
<p>Freshman always come in all ambitious, but it’s wise to understand that classes at Duke will be MUCH different from HS.</p>
<p>To be honest, I was quite surprised I didn’t get a 5. Chemistry has always been one of my easiest and best subjects, and I thought I got a 5 right after finishing the AP exam…It’s possible to enroll in the class even with a 4 though, right?</p>
<p>Does Duke ever accept SATII scores for placement?</p>
<p>Art Building on East to Physics Building on West in 20 minutes; is it possible?</p>
<p>Possible on a good day if the stars are aligned. In other words, it’s not doable on a consistent basis as would be required for classes.</p>
<p>Hi Guys, I need to fulfill by QS requirement and frankly I am not interested in chem or math or stats. I am considering majoring in philosophy and music and then off to law school. Any advice on a QS course?? Thanks. pozzol</p>
<p>Hey guys, I have two questions:</p>
<p>1) I’ve heard math at duke is pretty rough so as a prospective premed student with a social science major with a 5 on AP Calc BC, is it okay with upper tier med schools if I do not take a single math class at all at Duke besides stat?</p>
<p>2) Do 49S classes help fulfill T-reqs? Also, if that 49S class is taken for your major (i.e. if you take pubpol 49s as a prospective pubpol major student) does it count towards your major requirements?
Thanks!</p>
<p>How hard is Math 103 i.e. Vector Calculus? I took Vector Calculus at Elon University but given the disparity in difficulty that I presume exists between Elon’s Calc 3 and Duke’s, I’m not sure if I should just take the transfer credit and go for Math 107 (I’m doing engineering) or take the class over again.</p>
<p>On a second, unrelated note, how are the dorms in Brown? Are they reasonably comfortable, spacious, etc?</p>
<p>How is French at Duke? In particular, French 100S?</p>
<p>how do duke students go about getting sports tickets? are certain sports free?</p>
<p>
Generally just as a placement guide for languages and intro math. </p>
<p>
Unfortunately, there aren’t many “interesting” QS classes for those who aren’t into math and stats, so you’ll probably just have to suck it up and take a couple classes you don’t absolutely love. The notoriously “easy” QS classes are STA 10 or 101 (whatever you place into based on the placement test), COMPSCI 82, and ECON 182. You should check out the synopses for these classes, as it appears that the comp sci class has some social/ethics/law connections that might interest you as a potential pre-law student. </p>
<p>
I’m not pre-med, so I’ll let someone else get that one. You can always Google the individual med schools to find out though. </p>
<p>
Yes, they do, depending on the seminar I suppose. Click on a class in ACES and the T-reqs it fulfills should be listed under “Course Attributes”. Generally 49S classes do not count toward your major because most majors require electives about 100-level. Keep in mind that to fulfill your freshman seminar requirement you can take ANY seminar, not just ones listed as “49S”</p>
<p>Edit: If you are interested in PubPol49S, you have to look at it under its crosslisting DocStudies 49S to see the T-reqs. It’s listed as ALP. </p>

One of the many great things about Duke: ALL the sports tickets are free! 
With the exception of basketball, you can walk into pretty much any sporting event with a swipe of your DukeCard (the exception being ACC tournament games held in Cameron, etc.). Basketball tickets are still free, but it requires you standing in a walk-up line or tenting for the UNC game. Let me know if you want any more info about the tenting process.</p>
<p>If I skipped over your question, it’s because I didn’t know the answer Hopefully someone else can answer it for you. The Duke 2014 group on Facebook seems to be a good resource as well.</p>
<p>Yeah could you explain tenting a little more please? Is it just for the unc game or is it for all games?</p>
<p>Most games are NOT tenting games. You stand in what’s called the “walk-up line” and they start letting students into the student section about an hour before game time. Basically, the walk-up line policy is that you register a group of up to 6 people with one of the line monitors when you get to K-ville, and half of your group must be standing in line at all times. For low-key, non-ACC games, you can generally get in the walk-up line a couple hours before game time and get into the game. For more important games (i.e., Maryland and GA Tech), the walk-up line probably starts 2 or 3 nights before the game (yes, people sleep out on the sidewalk to be the first into Cameron). Basically - the more important/significant the game, the earlier you need to get in line to guarantee you’ll get in. Don’t think you have to be near the front of the line to get in though - they really pack the students in there. There are other special games where a certain group (freshmen, Greeks, club sports participants) can get wristbands at some predetermined event and then get let into Cameron after the first 300 in the walk-up line without having to actually stand in the walk-up line. </p>
<p>Tenting occurs only for the UNC game and possibly one other important game depending on the season/schedule. Last year it was only for UNC. There are three different stages of tenting: black, blue, and white. It gets progressively easier as you approach the game. You can read the exact tenting policy on [K-ville</a> at Duke University - Official Website of Krzyzewskiville](<a href=“http://kville.info%5DK-ville”>http://kville.info). There are very specific rules about how many people you need in a tent during the day/night, policies for grace, etc. </p>
<p>I had a lot of fun tenting (even though I only white-tented, which is about 11 days long). It’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences you have just by being a Duke student.</p>
<p>That sounds awesome! Thank you for explaining all that to me! I will definitely be going to the games!</p>
<p>^ Regarding the premed/math question above, I don’t believe that you need to take anything beyond calc BC/Math 32 to satisfy most medical schools. The usual requirement is 1 year of calculus in college which can be fulfilled with math 31/32 or AP Credits. You should probably confirm this with a prehealth adviser though.</p>
