Can I Do It?

[Gabky]

Hi Everyone,

I have been reading through the posts, but am still left with questions on the accelerated program at Duke. I am almost 38, have a family, and have not attended college, since 2000. I love what Duke has to offer, but am extremely concerned if the program will be too much for me. I am specifically wondering what the coursework is like (do you write lots of papers? Tests?) What times would I plan to be there and leave each day? I am also curious if those that have been through it, would advise me that I will be out of my league, since college was so long ago for me. I am also researching Wake Tech, but the program is going to take so much longer and I would have to retake classes that I have already completed in the past. Thank all for you help!
