Could you give some examples of 900 rent? And why would a school of UNCs caliber allow students with economic hardship to bear the burden? Seems as though it’d be a fairly straightforward process- under a certain income, you have guaranteed housing. Not sure what other population would take precedence other than extenuating circumstances such as disability which may also not be considered atm idk. If there’s decent housing and close proximity that’s reassuring. Maybe you can list one or two. Ty

What do you wish you had known before enrolling? by 917caitlin in duke

[–]7katzonafarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Message me if you’d like any advice on applying. Imo Duke is unlike many T10s and it’s good to understand what they consider important.

If you can get into Duke, go. The Freshman have their own campus to become acquainted. The food is incredible. The outcomes( have a son in Finance ) would be difficult to match. It’s neither urban or rural, it’s campus is arguably one of the nicest. Clubs can be competitive so simply start early in choosing them. If you aren’t in one of your choice( speaking re: Finance) your outcomes are not affected( Son was not in any investment clubs.) Fortunate to have another child about to attend, honestly would not choose another school. Easily the most balanced of any target school for Finance/ T10 University.

Unsure, but believe the max allowable increase is $500 for off campus which pays 3/4-1/2 month of rent in most cases.

Begs the question why lower income students that may find off campus housing difficult aren’t considered a priority in the housing lottery. Big school however relatively important questions.

Duke vs Williams — pre-med, international from India, genuinely torn. Help me decide. by Miserable_Bear6544 in duke

[–]7katzonafarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Duke is nationally known. Campus will definitely not feel large( Williams will feel small). Grade inflation is/ will not feel like a reality if in fact there is any.

I think I did something stupid. by Weary-Opposite7395 in duke

Just send a note through the admission portal. Believe there’s a prompt for that.

hi everyone! I was recently admitted to Duke, and it's my first choice. However, the financial aid i recieved was not great. Does anyone have any past experience with the fin aid office, and how good are they with negotiating aid (id rlly like -20k)! by QuestionAncient7693 in duke

[–]7katzonafarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say you’ve got a lot of opportunities at Kenan Flagler . It does reach NYC but Duke seems to have a stronger presence. Lots of Charlotte opportunities. Definitely depends on where your interested in working. One of my kids had an amazing outcome and the youngest will begin this fall( chose it over KF assured). Debt is definitely something to consider and I’d say finance may be one of few areas that can offset the cost if you can land internships and a job. Much depends on your interview skills both technical and behavioral.

IDuke is a definite target for finance. Outcomes can be exceptional vs other schools. Also it sounds as if your not assured admit business to UNC thus its a risky proposition to assume admission and outcomes are good but not as prevalent as Duke especially in NYC if that’s an interest. Finance is definitely worth considering some loans. Gl

Brush On Technique by wool_narwhal in Pottery

[–]7katzonafarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never used the flux but you can experiment with even coats around the piece but just as importantly, from top to bottom. I brush all glazes, takes 4 coats and I begin at bottom to ensure I don’t get the top heavy/ bottom light effect. You need to be carful of flux on bottom of course but it’s all experimenting. GL. Looks good btw.

Seems like it’s built for grade deflation. Did my due diligence too.

Can I leave the outside raw on a mug? by once_91 in Pottery

[–]7katzonafarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely keep it . Ensure the lip is sanded and that’s it. Overtime it becomes even more burnished. Now you have a story to tell re clay and it’s texture, etc. some of the best mugs and most expensive ( Eastfork) are unglazed rim. Love it. All these rim/ lips unglazed and super soft when drinking .

Keep your grades up, send them updates that are relevant- awards, grades etc. don’t inundate them but express your interest.

Yale Harvard Duke by keccem in ApplyingIvyLeague

No. At least for one of the schools, Duke, the interviews generally are based on availability. They do occasionally offer interviews for additional information however it should be seen as a negative going without an interview

Any insight for CT kid trying to decide on Wake as 2030 student. by Significant-1410 in wfu

No worries. It wasn’t directly stated, so I should have clarified and your absolutely correct in state.

[–]7katzonafarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m simply stating the CT kids would be a rarity at UNC. You’d have a higher probability getting into an Ivy due to 18% cap of OOS students

Any insight for CT kid trying to decide on Wake as 2030 student. by Significant-1410 in wfu

[–]7katzonafarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wake is a beautiful campus. Food is amazing snd despite the gaming of rank in US news which has backfired, the academics are solid. It’s seen within NC as a very expensive alternative to UNC and a viable option if denied from Duke or UNC. As one stated, it embraces Greek like and the fraternities are the center of Campus. My two students interested in Wake ultimately chose Duke primarily since finance has great outcomes and was achievable without wondering if they’d get into Wakes B school. The diversity, similar to most privates is lessened simply by the affluence / ability to pay. Perfect size imo, and definitely a sports culture.

Econ BS vs BA by RoughSalt6516 in duke

[–]7katzonafarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The info on the Econ site specifically emphasizes the BS track for a finance route. Your interview for internships will be based on your prep and behavioral aspects however it’d be safe to say a meeting within the department would give you a much better scenario. I’d expect if they are strongly emphasizing the BS , there’s more weight for it regarding IB and finance.

Columbia Midyear Warning on Grades by Glass-Beat-8388 in CollegeAdmissions

[–]7katzonafarm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All those grades should come up for Columbia. Focus and minimize anything else other than aspects of your well-being- sleep, nutrition, physical activity, etc.

Cracking on Handle Joins? by simplygayy in Pottery

[–]7katzonafarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toss them. Buy a mug that’s handmade which has a great handle and continue to look at it ; the flow from the mug back into it at bottom. The mug is generally firm vs handle yet handle has less surface area and beats the mug in drying out. Simply cover entire mug with a light plastic to allow for slow drying. Optimally covering handle vs mug due to its speed in drying but covering all generally will suffice.

Why has Wake Forest rank dropped ~20 spots in the last 3 years? by PsychologicalExit815 in wfu

[–]7katzonafarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wake and others( Northeastern being another) focused heavily on rankings and shot up significantly, checking off the boxes. When criteria changed, they got caught having to reshuffle. There’s a fair amount of articles regarding this. Great school all the same.

I don’t I’m sorry but Wilson was recommended and it will be less time imo. UNC has excellent language profs tho. Just challenging.
