<p>^The Duke Up Close program is designed to entice desired students (draw them to Duke). Students who are admitted ED need no cajoling--they're already bound to go. That's why you would only be invited to Duke Up Close as an RD candidate.</p>
<p>Urgent Quesion:
Does anyone know what the activities/schedule are for duke up close?</p>
<p>(I still haven't decided whether or not I'm going yet)</p>
<p>Tuesday: Small group seminars, Dinner, "Evening entertaintment"</p>
<p>Wednesday: Breakfast--"Why Pratt/Trinity," Class Visits, Tour of art musuem, Special Programs Session (Focus, study abroad), Campus scavenger hunt (?), Picnic Dinner on Lawn</p>
<p>Thursday: Go home.</p>
<p>Although the chances of me attending are pretty slim with financial considerations, I am very excited for this -it sounds like so much fun! </p>
<p>Plus there will be free food. I live for free food.</p>
<p>^Are you me?!?!? Lol :)</p>
<p>If you like UNC people better and are from North Carolina, why don't you just go there MC?</p>
<p>Did anybody get their tix in the mail/email? Tix or anything else related to Duke Up Close? I haven't gotten anything since the plan for the three days there.</p>
<p>andrw, (I am MC), I'd pick Duke over Carolina's Honors Program (which I got) because of the quality of students and education.</p>
<p>I'm not a huge Duke fan still, and my freshman year is almost over. (cant wait to relax this summer, btw)</p>
<p>I had an offer for full tuition at Vanderbilt and also got into my first choice school (Penn) and Brown. But over the entire month of April, I struggled with the decision of whether or not I wanted to come to Duke. When I applied and even up till March, I had no intention of going to Duke. It was my "saftey" of my good schools.</p>
<p>After looking at Penn and realizing that it would take an extra year to get my degree from engineering and wharton, I decided on April 29 to go to Duke and major in econ/BME. I have enjoyed my time here immensely. </p>
<p>While some you have no intention of coming here and dont really like Duke (Im still more of a Xavier fan than Duke fan any way), just keep an open mind. This is an exciting time for all of you, and the next 3 months with college, graduation, prom, and summer are a great time. Enjoy it!</p>
<p>Seriously, are we supposed to get tix or something soon?</p>
<p>^Lol I'm glad I'm driving.</p>
<p>Hehe... I'm glad I get to fly :P</p>
