<p>We are pretty close to the deadline of 1st May for selecting school.
I have been accepted to lot of good schools like many of you on the forum.I am in the process of narrowing down my choice but leaning towards Duke. </p>
<p>I am interested in Pre Med and would like to know why you chose Duke over other schools ( Brown,Rice,JHU,NU,Emory,Dartmouth etc ) without taking Financial Aid into consideration.</p>
<p>I applied to Duke, Emory, Washington in St. Louis, Harvard, Hopkins, and U of Florida. Accepted everywhere but Harvard and Hopkins, where I was waitlisted. For several weeks, I was torn between Emory (full ride scholarship), Duke (FA full tuition), and Wash U (FA/merit full tuition).</p>
<p>I decided on Duke over the others because of social qualities. All three are very strong academically, especially in medicine. I thought that Duke offered a little more than the others, due to such things as DukeEngage and Focus that allowed engagement outside the classroom. I never thought sports would matter that much for a college (being from Florida, I’m used to worshipping Tim Tebow), then I visited the colleges. At all three, the student body was friendly and smart (of course)–however, at Duke people seemed more enthusiastic and spirited about their school.</p>
<p>University of Chicago and Georgetown…too much fun to pass up for Duke v Chicago, and Duke economics crushes Georgetown business. Duke all the way</p>
<p>Vanderbilt, Davidson, and the Plan II LibArts Honors Program at UT-Austin.</p>
<p>2013 Blue Devil, baby!!</p>
<p>My boys turned down all of their schools Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Georgetown SFS, and Chapel Hill for Duke! They can’t wait!!</p>
<p>Brown, UChicago, Northwestern, Rice, Vanderbilt, UNC (with Honors + Partial Scholarship).</p>
<p>UPenn, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, UCLA, Full ride UNL, Northwestern</p>
<p>I’m a transfer so not class of 2013, but…UCSD, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Boston College, NYU. You can clearly see why I chose Duke ;)</p>
