Title. Just wanted to know what chances there are for people tomorrow, on May 8th. Did anyone receive any news today or yesterday or will they send out tomorrow more offers?
I actually don’t know how many of you have really received the update and got selected, but if you have been selected. congratulations! I want to know the at what time you received with time zone cause I didn’t received yet. Please tell us if you are accepting your offer or not and if possible any more details.
Yeah, so I’m NOT getting additional LOL 😭 but that was expected. I’m kind of upset about not being able to go, despite my somewhat decent financial aid offer. But I’m wondering if any students have experienced anything bad or negative experiences in general.
Hi guys, I really need help deciding between DKU (duke kunshan university) and PSU (penn state)
I was already committed to PSU, but I just got off the DKU waitlist and now I don’t know what to do anymore.
DKU:
got off the waitlist recently
30% scholarship
my parents are really pushing for it (they like the China + Duke connection)
PSU:
already committed
no scholarship (I might get a government one but it’s really competitive)
already have a roommate and kind of pictured my life there
a lot of people from my country go there so I wouldn’t feel alone
For majors:
DKU: behavioral economics
PSU: environmental systems engineering (which is what i want to do)
Other thoughts:
I am a bit scared of living somewhere where English isn’t the main language, but honestly it’s not something that would make me reject DKU on its own
PSU just feels more familiar and comfortable socially
DKU feels more like a unique/global experience
I kinda want a school where it’s not insanely hard to maintain a good GPA (especially since I’m thinking pre-med)
I also care about having at least some college spirit / campus vibe, not something completely dead
So yeah I’m torn:
DKU = more unique + some money + smaller/more international environment
PSU = safer choice + easier adjustment + bigger campus + more “college life”
I’m genuinely stuck. If anyone has experience with either (especially DKU since it’s newer), I’d really appreciate hearing it.
hey everyone! I'm on the Duke Kunshan waitlist and still haven't heard back. did anyone else not receive an update on May 8th? Is there anyone still waiting? trying to gauge if there's still a chance for those of us still on the waitlist
Hi guys! Currently, I need to make a decision between the two, and the cost for UCLA is $85,000, while for DKU it's $45,000. Which one would be more worth it, and if I also want to attend grad school do DKU provide good connections? + how is the job opportunity after graduation for DKU
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 :>
I'm currently committed to Bowdoin but I just got off DKU's waitlist with the same financial aid I'd have at Bowdoin... Do you thing it's valid to consider changing Bowdoin to DKU?
(I'm aiming to study AI and politics)
May 8th is about to come. Thoughts ? This is literally a nail biting situation for me.
Really want to go to DKU. Opportunity seems awesome but everyone said May 8th was the day for the waitlist to move
I was waitlisted and needed full aid to attend, but for now I only see students who got max 30 percent scholarships and got off from their waitlists
I think finances are the most important part for getting in, yeah?
