I have a question for everyone. Is anyone still contemplating Duke due to their cost? Just reading about their program gets me excited and keeps me going but I’m honestly super nervous about incurring the huge debt.

To be honest, I wasn’t thinking about cost when I applied to Duke and Vanderbilt but now I definitely am. I think I’ve pretty much decided on Rush but I am waiting to see each school’s financial aid package to be sure. On the flip side, I also got into a state school which would be even less expensive than Rush but their program had some cons that outweighed the cheaper tuition for me. I think you just have to weigh what’s important to you!

I have the same feelings. I would wait until you get your acceptance, review your financial aid package, then make your decision.

Yes you’re completely right! I’m stressing too soon!!

I accepted a spot at another school in Feb. I feel like this whole thing is going to make Duke take forever to send out decisions.

Good morning. Hope everyone is staying safe. I was reading this on CNN this morning.
Colleges delay deposit deadlines amid coronavirus
https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/22/politics/college-shutdown-campus-tours-coronavirus/index.html

I wonder if Duke will be one of those Universities that extend the deposit deadline for those who get accepted.
Hoping we hear something from Duke this week!!

You guys think we will hear something by April 4th? Or the first full week of April?

I'm really hoping to hear something by the end of the month.
A few interviewees were told decisions would be made possibly be made late March, early April. Nora mentioned in someone’s email that we would be informed in the first two weeks of April.

I’m still hoping for end of March. ??
