<p>aw hey!
i had to go to the wee last pages of your postings to find out you were an asian male in west virginia possibly going to duke. and i only met one of those :)
do you know if you're a dukie yet?</p>
<p>i should probably PM this conversation but i'm here already anyway :rolleyes:
good afternoon public duke forum</p>
<p>Yep, I sent in my letter and deposit this morning (one less thing to worry about). How about you?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I forgot you lived in LA, so I was a little confused by your good afternoon comment. Hehe. :)</p>
<p>Although I was accepted, I unfortunately will not be attending duke :(. They gave me $8.000 per yr which is too little considering the cost of the school (45K). I seriously love Duke and feel very upset that I have to give it up at this point in time. Congrats and Good Luck Class of 2010</p>

<p>It'd probably be better to start a new thread for the class of 2011. :)</p>
<p>Haha! I got into Duke with a "low" UW GPA.. 3.7-something, but I took a harder courseload than anyone else in my grade and SAT's/EC's/class rank probably helped too... </p>
<p>Good luck to everyone who applied RD!!</p>
<p>this is interesting... a lot of the accepted people have an SAT around mine, but I'm pretty positive I don't have a chance</p>
<p>Doesn't matter, I'm going to Notre Dame!</p>
