2015-2016 Duke University Application Thread


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

For those interviewing, where are you staying? Also how do you plan to get to campus? Im thinking about the Duke Tower and then just walking to campus which should a be 15-20 min walk. Also I'll probably fly in at 11:30PM the night before my interview. Would it be simple to get a cab or something to Duke Tower? Do my travel plans seem ok? Thanks!

I haven't interviewed at Duke, but with my experience from my first PA school interview, I highly advise against flying in that close to your interview unless you absolutely have to. Due to maintenance issues and flight delays that were out of my control, I missed my connecting flight and was actually stuck in the airport until the next morning. Fortunately I had left a "buffer" day, otherwise I would've arrived 2 hours before my interview that morning. I've flown to 3 interviews so far and you just never know, flying is unpredictable!

I stayed at aloft durham. It just opened so the rates were very reasonable for the quality of the hotel. It was less than a half mile from the program- I just walked there that morning which kept things simple

I've been obsessed with checking my email too! I tell myself I have to wait until certain times of the day to check it in order to try to keep the obsession under control. This process has been an emotional roller coaster! Right? Well deserved congratulations to those interviewing and to those accepted! And all the best to everyone else out there going through this grueling process. You're not alone!

 

Here's my situash:

 

CASPA Verified              07/09

Duke Supplemental         08/12

Under Review Email       08/19

No other news since         :-(
