<p>I know that Penn's early decision response is on December 12th. However, I just found out that Duke, one of the schools I'm applying to via regular decision, wants its students to turn in their applications by December 10th for alumni interviews. I don't know if I should apply that early to Duke because if I get in to Penn, I'll have to withdraw my application. I also don't want to pay the application fee yet. What should I do?</p>
<p>depends how much you want to go to Duke and how confident you are in your acceptance to Penn. If Duke is really high on your list of potential colleges, I would definitely apply and get the interview. If moneys REALLY an issue, just get a fee waiver. Problem solved.</p>
