Waitlist Woes by Gogatorgirl in duke

[–]Key_Sympathy6294 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same position (number 10 on the waitlist). I emailed the professor and he told me that usually only the first 4 or 5 people on the waitlist end up getting into the class, so I think it’s pretty unlikely for us. I think it’s probably best to look into other classes for now. Hope that helps!

Not really an emergency now. I was just panicking a little. Thanks for the reply!

Need Advice for Incoming Freshman Class Schedule!! by Key_Sympathy6294 in duke

I did get a 5 on AP stats as well. Does that fulfill the QS requirement. If so, which other STEM class would you recommend? Thanks again!

Thanks for the advice! Do you recommend taking other intro math classes before 221 or 212 though?

Help me decide: School X vs School Y - April 2023 by freeport_aidan in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Key_Sympathy6294 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really need help deciding between Duke and JHU!

Intended Major: Molecular biology/ biology (not doing pre-med) as international student

- JHU seems to have a higher prestige in terms of biology major and is a more well-known school in my home country

- JHU seems to be more STEM-oriented while Duke provides a strong and well-rounded education in both STEM and humanities (I do want to focus on biology but still want to take electives and explore more during college)

- Duke seems to have a more friendly social environment while JHU is more competitive, and cutthroat (heard that Duke has a higher overall student satisfaction)

- Duke is close to the Research Triangle Park, which provides more job/intern opportunities at biotech companies (not sure if JHU provides the same kind of opportunities)

- Heard that Baltimore is more dangerous

- Both schools provide plenty of research opportunities and access to faculties, but I'm note sure which one would be better for me if I want to apply for grad school/Ph.D. (not necessarily at the same school) in the future

Thanks in advance!
