Thanks phxmu! Actually I got a call from the 1-year student in duke the day before yesterday, asking whether I have any questions about the life over there. They are now in the middle of spring break but would like to anwser any of my questions at this forum or by email. Really impressed by duke's supportive and collaborative team spirit.
Seems that i need a sturdier trunk?! Come on, don't be so exaggerative. Take a look at the latest update of admits to duke, 8 out of 14 are girls now, not even mention those guys with at least 2 offers on hand. So i guess it would be just well balanced before enrollment. Don't worry wingback.
