<p>I got an e-mail on Friday without sending anything in. Although, I applied to Pratt, and they weren't specific about what schools were admitting from the waitlist, just that they had a place for me (I got the same letter as the one on page 1 of this thread). I'm waiting for my packet/finaid to come, and maybe I'll think about visiting if they give me more money than Northwestern? Hm... and I was getting really stoked about NU, too.</p>

Now I have to decide between Duke and Tufts, where I was pretty damn excited to attend. I'll have to visit Durham this weekend. Just wow.

<p>Come to Duke!!! But if you're visiting, you'll easily pick Duke yourself. I don't have to do any convincing :)</p>
<p>Hey, conragts y'all who've gotten off the waitlist. As the rest of us contemplate our fate, I was wondering how many of you are internatonal students?</p>
<p>I'm not. new jersey.</p>
<p>unitedhell, go to duke over cornell. seriously. better weather, more prestigious, etc. unless finances are an issue or you want to do something insane that cornell specializes in.</p>
<p>i hope they take more off the waitlist...</p>
<p><em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>well they only gave the accepted from waitlist people one week to respond, so they definitely could still be contacting more people.</p>
<p>speaking of which, did anyone get theri admission package yet? according to the email mine was sent monday but still no sign...</p>
<p>Yeah, I got my admission package monday. I'm sure yours is on the way, too.</p>
<p>I originally committed to Duke, but I got off the waitlist at Williams and will be headed there next year (absolute hardest decision I've ever had to make!). Maybe that'll free up a spot for someone here--Duke is an absolutely amazing place and I really did love it, I just think that Williams is more for me.</p>
<p>aint that sweet!!!:)</p>
<p>I got off the waitlist too but I got a call really early in April 27. I didnt even have to enroll in another school. Is that normal?
Congrats to all others.</p>
<p>I got off the waitlist too. I got an email from the dean of admissions on Thursday night, but I'm almost certain that I won't be going. It really hurts to be turning down such a good school, but I really like Georgetown and already sent in my $900 deposit there. Best of luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>Agent Bauer, have you considered visiting Duke again before making a decision?</p>
<p>I shared your feelings about the school I originally committed to. I was set to go to Penn when I got off the waitlist at Duke. It seemed unnecessary at the time -- especially because one of my friends was going to Penn and I was ****ed about being waitlisted anyway -- but my parents told me to take a look. I'm glad I visited as I then chose Duke</p>
<p>Go To Duke!</p>
<p>I be all for Duke as well, but $900 really is a huge amount to lose. Damn you Georgetown.</p>
<p>Maybe you can ask Duke fin aid to cover the deposit amount? Never hurts to ask</p>
<p>If not, think about it like $225 per year difference...a reasonable investment longer term!</p>
<p>You'll actually be saving money long-term. Duke is cheaper than Georgetown.</p>
<p>Duke is also better than Georgetown :P</p>
