Wow, congratulations!!!!!!! <img border="0" alt="[Clappy]" title="" src="graemlins/clappy.gif" /> It seems that everyone is getting interviews lately.....there's still hope for everyone!

Good luck at your interview! My cousin goes to undergrad there and absolutely loves it.

 

I knew you would hear from at least one of those dream schools you applied to, with your stats (and sparkling personality, of course <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ). I am so happy for you -- I was getting nervous along with you. I'm in the Big Apple right now, and I'm so glad I checked in just in time to find out!!! When is your interview? Best of luck, although I doubt you'll need luck!!

P.S. Don't forget to post on both schools requesting interviews threads.........

 

Yayyy! Good luck on your interview!!!

 

Good job northern neighbor...

 

Congrats, and by the way, great Simpson's reference!

 

Congratulations and goodluck for your interview.

 

hey congrats!!! did you find out via email? or did you check the status site? i'm still anxiously waiting... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

 

congrats brandonite! Always feels good to see a fellow Canadian get an interview at Duke! Might I remind you that they offer regionals; it might be a bit expensive to fly from Manitoba down to Rayleigh-Durham, although I think there is a direct flight from TO. Duke loves physicists and mathematicians... you'll do fine!

 

That is AWESOME brandonite!! Now go down there and knock 'em dead!!!! <img border="0" alt="[Clappy]" title="" src="graemlins/clappy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Clappy]" title="" src="graemlins/clappy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Clappy]" title="" src="graemlins/clappy.gif" />

 

Heck Yeah!!!! <img border="0" alt="[Clappy]" title="" src="graemlins/clappy.gif" />

 

congratulations ! from another fellow Canadian !

 

Brandonite

Congrats, man. Give 'em hell.

tally up another one for the math crew! woohoo! wow, brandonite I dont think you can understand how happy I am for you. Feels like I'm the one that got the interview and I didn't even apply to Duke. haha

congrats to you too, lollipop. Must've been a beautiful thing to check the site and see that, huh?

 

awesome!! congrats!!!

 

Yay! I got one too today! Anybody know if we can schedule regional ones? I've heard that it's possible, but the automatic scheduler thing online doesn't seem to offer it openly . . .?

 

The process of getting a regional interview seems perpetually cloaked in mystery. In some cases they offer you one automatically. In my case I wasn't initially given the option, but I called up and asked them if I could "go regional," and they said yes immediately. And so I did.

Since Duke is close to decision time, they might be more hesitant -- the regional process takes a little longer because they first have to send you a list of names, then you have to make your own arrangements, then your interviewer has to write a report and send it back to Durham, etc. Still, it's worth asking.

And congratulations to all of you. I'm delighted to hear you got interviews here! Good luck and have fun!

Wohoo! Congrats all...it's a good day for SDNers

 

I've been away for awhile, but just wanted to congratulate you--you waited for so long! More is coming! Good luck!

 

Congrats, fellow Canadian...

 

Hi,

Puke sucks pig pickle in all ways. Those upstarts need to stick to theology...not medicine. They are pretentious pig farmers. I would never want a blue devil to work on my pickle. Futhermore their application was most perturbing...and caused diarrheal discharge.

Well, good luck with that interview. Peace in the middle east. The Big Pickle

 

Hi,

My other persona took over on that last one...it wasn't really me. I mean it was me but it wasn't the real me.................the me that "IS" right now. Maybe I am also a troll. There are trolls in my head. The trolls are telling me to apply to med school. They motivate me to do things.....

 

omores and others, do you actually know of people that DID do the regional interview? I've had some up-and-comings ask me about this and I honestly didn't have a clue. Are they generally early or late in the interview process and is it looked upon less favorably?

as for FullO' *ignore the troll, ignore the troll*... nevermind <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

 

USeF:

Yes, I did one myself (and it worked, since I'm at Duke now). Quite a few of my classmates went regional as well. As far as I know, they can be any time during the process. Mine was towards the end -- just about exactly a year ago.

A girl I know who applied to Duke last year was offered a regional interview at Seattle (she is from UBC). But i doubt that Winnipeg will be anywhere close to the location Duke can offer

As for regional interview v.s. on-site interview at Duke, there is really no difference as I know a couple people from my undergrad who got into Duke through both types of interviews.
