My scholarship interview isn't scheduled until late March. Will I even have enough time to receive an offer/pursue negotiations before seat deposits are due in April? Would it be better just to forgo the interview and hope they send scholarship info sooner?

Just had my interview. Highlights:

Interviewer was explaining the process and said, "I don't know if people check these things, but there's a mailing section on the status checker."
Me: Oh, they definitely do.

Towards the end he asked if I had any questions. I said, "Well definitely one of the biggest factors for deciding where to go to school would be the cultural...How would you say the..........(terrible long pause before I gave up on being eloquent) What's the food like?" He laughed really hard. Either that won me points or I looked like a doofus. :mrgreen:

And after answering their Why Duke, I basically turned the question around and asked him why I should go to Duke.

Any chance of the email coming soon, or do they only come in the middle of the night?

Is this how they notify both acceptances and rejections? Cause that's fucked up.

so does Duke not really give lower than 54K? that's the lowest I've seen on LSN. I'm sure it differs for ED applicants.
