   Hey, b.salomon-- Number 13 doesn't sound like that's far down the waiting list at all. I think someone else was saying they had pulled everyone (or just about) off the waiting list in previous terms. Just remember a lot of people are applying to seve...

   So is anyone else just working crappy part-time jobs until school starts? I'm used to having career jobs, crappy though they were. I'm not used to getting paid poverty wages for really dumb work that probably doesn't even really need to be done. Anyo...

   Is anyone else having EXTREME difficulty getting in touch with the financial aid office? I'd say that's the one thing I really haven't been too pleased with. I'm excited about going to Duke, but I have not had any of my phone calls or emails returned...
