<p>if your financial information is complete then it does. But, I'n not sure if Duke gives aid to international applicants</p>
<p>yes they do...to 25 international students...this is why our chances are soo slim, because they only accept and give aid to 25 out of the thousands of interntional students who apply.</p>
<p>dude if i lived in nassau, id just chill there it's paradise. why do you wanna go to duke so bad?</p>
<p>Is it really thousands of internationals?</p>
<p>For a tourist who visits for 5 days...sure, its paradise...but the whole island scene gets really old after 16 years. Nassau is great, yes, but...being stuck on an island that is 22 by 7 miles, completely sucks...</p>
<p>Moreover, we have one major college in our country, and it isnt even a university that offers masters and doctorate degrees...i do want to live in New York or Atlanta one day, and my degree from the College of The Bahamas would mean basically nothing.</p>
<p>I want to go to Duke so bad because i love it and im tired of seeing the same faces everyday...</p>
<p>but you can always meet tourists and tell them fake folklore ;)</p>
<p>Lol, rite...thats fullfilling.</p>
<p>hehe, its a frog, not a fish!! :)
dont give up guys, i have faith in you all</p>
<p>"I won't have to force myslef to take a nap. You see, i'm in india and duke's will come out when i am fast asleep. Ofcourse, the first thing i will touch after waking up will be the computer's 'ON' button!"</p>
<p>WHAAAA??? You mean you won't already have the computer on overnight and the your status page up before you go to sleep? Then you can just refresh and click the button. If you get rejected, then you'll be too tired to care.</p>
<p>Wow, only 2 more loooooong days to get through till the decision!</p>
<p>In 36 hours, we will either be bouncing off the walls, or drowning in our own pool of tears. 36 hours. Seems like just yesterday I was rushing to get the app in on time.</p>
<p>wow, 24 hours left... it's crunchtime! What we're crunching, I have no clue. I'm looking forward to seeing a whole bunch of blue ACCEPTED signs on the official results thread tomorrow, which will hopefully include one from me! My greatest tip would have to be to get your homework for Thursday done early... that way if you are accepted, you can call everyone and party all night, or go right up to bed if you are rejected (I did this when I was deferred ED... best 12 hours I've ever gotten :)). You can also leave your homework for later... you're a senior, for goodness sakes, and you deserve a night or two off! Ahh, my good friend senioritis...</p>
<p>EDIT: ok, it took me so long to write this that there are now 23 hours, 55 minutes left... sorry for the misleading information!</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you. If I get rejected, I'll be fine, because i'm beginning to realize that my dreams are not exclusive with a certain school. They will be achieved with hard work, regardless of where I go. I hope everyone else is beginning to realize this, and whether or not we get accepted, we'll be doing just fine in the fall, wherever we may be.</p>
<p>As we reach the 12 hour mark, I just want to say congratulations to all of the RD applicants for waiting 'patiently' for so long. Good luck to everyone, not that anyone really needs it... you're all superb applicants. Just remember that college is what you make of it (as a lot of people have mentioned on this site), whether you go to Duke University or to your state university.</p>
<p>I also want to give a shout out to my ED homies... it's been a wild ride, and it's finally coming to an end! The best of luck to you all as well. This will be my last time on this site until after I receive my decision, since I go from school to drama rehearsal to tap class. I hope to come back and see a lot of acceptances! Adios y buena suerte!</p>
<p>7:25 to go !!!</p>
<p>SEAHORSE! GOOD LUCK! Blasted tap class again...good thing I have the week off...so I'll be home doing the same thing I did December 15th...pacing the floor waiting for the clock to turn to 7, as opposed to 6. Hey, if Duke doesn't accept us, their loss! We'll just go somewhere else and have a great time!</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK RD KIDS. You guys are brilliantly awesome, and everyone deserves a spot!</p>
<p>only 6 hours left!!!</p>
<p>5:35 to go !!</p>
<p>the decision will be out in 5:45 AM local time in Kathmandu !! I'll set all alarms I got !!</p>
<p>This forum is sooo awesomely exciting!</p>
<p>T minus 5 hours...are you ready?</p>
