minority recruitment weekend

<p>lol yeah. WHy the hell would they reject you and then tell you to visit a school you will never be able to go to. We are all IN and you are being paranoid as hell.</p>

<p>AHAHHAHAhAHA</p>

<p>why don't they invite native americans to this?</p>

<p>hmmm...not sure.</p>

<p>Who says that they dont? Maybe they did invite some Native Americans that you dont know of.</p>

<p>This is not just a "Minority Weekend". Actually, its official title is the "Black Student Allience Invitational and Latino Student Recruitment Weekend"... The letter clearly stated the the event was open only to African-Americans and Latinos... </p>

<p>Thats good though because in that way, any other students of other minority groups know that they weren't invited not because they weren't good enough, its just that they weren't eligible...</p>

<p>IM SOOO EXCITED!!!</p>

<p>yeahh there we go.. i doubt they would invite anyone that one was deferred from early decision anyway because they obviously already want to go there.. but i guess its good news its just hispanic and african american</p>

<p>But, im a Bahamian...and im black; i guess i wasnt eligible either.</p>

<p>probably bc you are international</p>

<p>Did you guys get an email from your host? Also was that stuff about 70% being accepted and 30% being wait listed true in "Post your decision" thread?</p>

<p>I hate how no one is going up the following weekend =(</p>

<p>no mine is different was acting out again. lol</p>

<p>lol, whew, I was so worried there</p>

<p>Did anyone get an email from their host? My host sent me an email reminding to take along a sleeping bag, pillows, toothbrush/toothpaste, etc. and gave me his cell so I could call him when I arrived at the airport.</p>

<p>..........not yet</p>

<p>back home from the weekend....omg that was off the chains!!! anybody agree....i am in LOVE with duke...and let me add that it was nothing like i anticipated....that fashion show was a little trife but enjoyed it haha...too bad duke isn't helping me go cause they are giving me NOTHING...so it will be hard but i will try so hard cause i think its worth it....</p>

<p>anybody else have opinions about the weekend</p>

<p>i was there...who are u cause i might have seen u. i was staying in alexander. I loved it in all, but I am still gonna go to dartmouth.</p>

<p>it didnt help at all... it rained 24/7, i was hosted by a senior and stayed in central campus away from freshman life... it presented a very artificially diverse social scene... i'm going to have to go visit again before i make my decision...</p>

<p>ohh... and i dont mind parties and drinking... but to have to call the EMT for two kids at a party is excessive...</p>

<p>I wasn't invited, but I got in. </p>

<p>interesting.</p>

<p>(I'm definitely hispanic, btw)</p>

<p>yea I went to the BSAI weekend too. It made me fall in love with Duke. Like my main reason for applying was cuz im legacy but now I really really like the school. My host was awesome and I met some prety amazing people there. </p>

<p>puzzledlily- I'm going down there next week too for the reggie howard thing</p>
