<p>I will start by saying that I really don't think it matters what college you put down, but I can't be sure. </p>
<p>I definitely don't think it would hurt to put down a college at or near the same level as Duke. If anything, it would show that you aren't staying on the waiting list just to get into a "better" college, since you already got into something very good. Instead, they might think there is something specific about Duke that is interesting to you. Good luck.</p>
<p>If they ask what college you plan on attending for a wait list, why not just put "DUKE"! :)</p>
<p>Haha... Thats a good call!</p>
<p>Does anybody know whether you are requried to go to Duke if accepted off the waitlist? I didn't see anything about this in the letter.</p>
<p>Why would you put yourself on the waitlist if you weren't sure you wanted to go?</p>
<p>Because you may be on the waitlist of other schools too... more chances.</p>
<p>I do not believe it is binding, but don't take my word.</p>
<p>Personally, if I got off of it, I'd be there in a heartbeat, I'm going to do everything I can to go to Duke... even if it means I have to serenade the admissions officers all night or something</p>
<p>Me too Wolffy, me too.</p>
<p>You will not be required to attend here if you keep your name on the waitlist.</p>
<p>They will attempt to contact you by phone, and you will have a few days (10?) to make your decision.</p>
<p>hmm, should the EC updates be a seperate letter by itself? I already have a full page just talking about why I like Duke, etc.</p>
