Does anyone know when the last semester would be for the program? And if the scholarship they give you is for all 4 semesters (or you would have to reapply?) I am thinking about attending Duke Days as well just to explore further options....

It starts in the fall and ends at the end of next fall.

BTW, I don't know if this helps but I was told by Financial Aid that the range for scholarships per semester is 2,500-15,000.

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone else was in my position. I was wait-listed when the decisions came out March 1st, but received an invitation to Duke Days yesterday. Do all wait-listed applicants receive an invitation?

According to threads from previous years, I think the invites go out to all accepted and waitlisted people.

Has anyone received their financial aid package yet?

Not yet. It should take about 2 weeks from Mar. 1, so by Mar. 14.

Hi all! Does anyone waitlisted know how many are on it, if it is ranked, or any stats on how many get pulled from the waitlist? I am trying to decide if it's worth spending $ on the flight to duke days or not!

I would contact Benjamin first, he replies pretty quickly to his emails. I think it’s worth spending the money on it, you might even decide it’s not the right fit. Or you might even apply to it in the future for another program. Plus NC is gorgeous!

Lol they're really taking their time on these financial aid packages!
