DKU vs BU
Hello! I got off the BU waitlist this morning and am currently weighing my options. Right now I'm committed to Duke Kunshan with the intention of taking Molecular Biosciences with a track in Cell n Mol Bio.
Just wanted to ask whether it would be worth accepting the waitlist offer. Here are some additional details:
- International student from SEA, chinese diaspora
- DKU gave me 50% off (~45k), while BU hasn't given a final number yet but they said all merit scholarships have been given out. I don't qualify for need-based aid so I am expecting the tuition to be full. Parents are open to funding whichever though.
- At BU I would probably double major in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Environmental Analysis & Policy.
- Plan on going straight to Masters after graduating and onto a career in research
- Boston is my dream city but im really not sure if that price tag is worth it 😞
Would appreciate any insight that might help me make this decision. Thanks in advance :>
