<p>I did not mean to offend you, college. I mean, before I got the letter, I thought I might have to find a rolling admission school to go to. I am really blessed, but I am impatient. Babouche, post ur stats because if they are better than mine than I am offended that they did not invite you.</p>

<p>anyone had to apply for financial aid to buy the plane ticket? ive been calling but no one calls me back grrr</p>

<p>mjs--you look like you'd be an asset to the student body at Duke, I hope everything works out for you--good luck!</p>
<p>mjs, pm me ur essay.</p>
<p>what is pm? how do i do it? I will gladly do it if i know how.</p>
<p>hey, congratz on those invited to BSAI and best of luck to those who didn't, you still have a chance. I was also invited to BSAI, but then I'm really worried cause my mid year grades slipped by a considerable amount (mid 80's). However I'm taking the most competitive curriculum available in my school (BC Calc, AP Phys, AP English, honors, etc.). I'm hoping someone could give some insight as to whether my mid year grades could still get me rejected and ruin my chances of being admitted to Duke. Thank you.</p>
<p>Just as long as you don't get into the C range you should be set. I think I remember reading that if Duke sees a C for a final grade it has the right to reevaluate your application once I sent in my deposit.</p>
<p>i heard that colleges dont mind one C. Like, I MIGHT get a 79 in AP Bio, but the rest of the classes are straight As. Does this hurt my chances? I am taking the hardest courses possible, and my GPA is higher than it was last year.</p>
<p>bump.......</p>
<p>you should be fine; a girl in my class got into yale and then got a D+/C- in BC Calc second semester and they didn't even review her application</p>
<p>I just called up christina cortina and she confirmed that they received my fax. so i guess people can start calling now to see if everything is recerived.</p>
<p>i need to do the same. Aye, when do u guys arrive? I arrive at 12:30</p>
<p>I'm spending the three days prior at UNC Chapel Hill, so I'm only a short drive away. I am so excited!</p>
<p>Where do u live? I'm a Houston cat.</p>
