申请duke，但T score被ets寄丢了，截至日期马上就到，请求帮助！

11T的twe本来就被ets自身的问题拖延了很久才出来，学校给的邮件要求必须在9号之前把t score

寄到，给duke打电话，他们让重新寄，但他们说一般不会轻易给ets打电话；给ets打电话，他们说可以让学校给ets打电话confirm。

虽然7号重新要求ets寄送了，但在9号肯定很难到达。

请求各位的帮忙，万分感谢！

I think that it must be Duke's problem...I ordered ETS to send my Toefl to 7 schools in November, among which, only Duke informed me that the school didn't receive my scores.

Let us who suffer the same problem unite! 如果真的有很多人遇到这个问题，我建议我们联名写一封email去duke，要求学校先接受我们的scanned copy，然后给我们更多时间与ets协调。这样可能效果会好。个人行为似乎学校并不重视。我发了email去学校确认是否可以先用scanned copy，至今尚未回复。

Very Disappointed ........

In the past 3 days, I wrote 4 emails to Duke admissions regarding the TOEFL situation but never got any feedback.

I called Duke's Admission Office for 10s of times but never got any person to receive my call though the voice always repeated that "You call is very important to us" and "Sorry for extended delay and thanks for holding...."(I guess that the telephone billing this month would be horrifying...)

Maybe the school has filled enough spots of its class with the 1st-round applicants? I just couldn't accept that the school is going to have applicants to bear the result of the fault of a third-party service provider (ETS, if not the school itself) whereas this third-party service provider is actually the only qualified service provider accepted by the school. What's a fallacy!!

Sorry that if I offended any Duke fans....I was just too angry..I loved Duke too and even now I still hope that it will give me an accepable solution by Feb. 9.

I have very bad impression to Duke now.

My situation is a little bit different. As I got my MS degree in America and have been working in the States for a couple of years, I don't need to submit TOEFL (at least all other schools I applied waived my TOEFL ).

First I got email about 2 weeks ago saying that my TOEFL is missing. I replied and told them my situation. After 5 days, I got another email saying that I can waive the fee. I really could not understand what the heck the fee is. So I called them and wanted to know whether they have already dinged me because of TOEFL. I was kept waiting online for 15 minutes and finally talked to a lady. The lady was damn cold. She said: We are busy, you have computer, you have internet right? Send us Email. Then she hung up the phone immediately. Then I sent a mail to them complaining this bad experience and list several reasons why I don't need to take TOEFL.

And after another 3 days, I got email again and was told that the second email about the fee was a mistake. That mail was supposed to be sent to someone else.

And yesterday, I got mail again saying that I need to submit TOEFL before Feb 9 or my application package will be moved to R3.

So I wrote a email to Dean of Fuqua. I told them:

1. Those stupid mistakes of TOEFL discussed at chasedream.com and business week forum.

2. The unfriendly lady

3. Long waiting hotline

4. Stupid TOEFL policy.

I said: All these do not match the reputation of Duke. If Fuqua doesn't spend time on this, it can not stand out of Top 10, if you can be really counted as Top 10.

Anyway, I don't care my Fuqua's result now. I will go to Anderson if I can not get offer from Wharton in R3.

Thanks. I have done so for 3 times already....no response.

给他们写信的时候最好能够给admission advisor抄送一份，同时，最好电话能够找advisor，一般接电话的都是secretary，他们每天接了那么多的电话，心里肯定不耐烦。

good luck!

Hi Tibet,

你的TOEFL问题已经解决了吗？我抄送了。电话始终打不通。每次让我等4分钟然后就忙音了。。

Thanks!
