The current estimate we were given for tuition only was $72,000. You've got to add in your own living expenses. I'm not sure if that total includes books and fees.

I went on the 20th and all we were told was early-mid August. Sounds like you guys were told more than us....I don't recall anything about scholarships essays either.

I talked to a girl last night who got accepted for Aug but in the second round and asked her about some of the comments I've seen here (ie interviews are just a formality). Best we could figure is that the interviews determine who gets a first round acceptance and who gets wait-listed. I asked her about the group part of the interview and she said that your group is given a problem and while you work to solve it, someone is watching the group and making notes. She said her individual interview was 5 questions, her interviewer had not even read her essays! Regarding what to wear, I figure we'll be inside the bulk of the day and A/C units are typically set to freezing, so keep that in mind. No takers on a free place to stay for your interview? I'm completely serious b/c I'll need another tenant come Jan. and this will give you a chance to meet me and see the house. I'll be asking $350 rent which includes all utilities except phone.

Hey, I got one too, registered for July 20. I live in Durham and if I get in I will be looking for 2 roommates for my house. If any of you flying in would like a place to stay for free, I'd be more than happy to let you stay in one of the rooms. If you're coming in for the 20th, I can even pick you up at the airport!! You can contact me directly at kristalee4 at the ol' stand by aol. I hope that makes sense.

Hey everyone, I couldn't stand the waiting anymore, emailed Duke SoN admissions and they told me this morning that the selection committee won't get the applications to review until Friday so it will be 1-2 weeks before anyone is contacted, depends on how quickly they make decisions. So, the waiting continues. blech!

Hey, I thought Duke Days were June 22, July 16 and July 20 with final notifications going out in Mid-August. I talked to someone else and she heard that invites go out 3-4 weeks after the application deadline. If anyone hears anything please post!! If I don't get in great, but I'd like to know sooner rather than later.
