Hi,

Duke seems to be good, but is it a fact that the 'no-laptop-in-classroom' rule still holds good? :sarcasm: Though this is not a big factor to decide against, think it would change the classroom experience!!!

Guys, Any idea how important is it to go Duke campus and interview.

I'm in Atlanta. They don't offer off-campus interview for candidates in US ( except West Coast)

My apping to Fuqua will depend on answer to this Question. I’ve written to them, but no response yet.
(FAQs page still confirms the availability, but I’ll trust the finaid site more)

Can anyone please confirm this ASAP?? :boat::boat:

The Duke-Fuqua site has just been overhauled. The new link to the Financial Assistance is Types of Financial Assistance

Under the International Student loan program, it clearly mentions the eligibility for a loan without a US co-signer.

Hope it shudn't be a problem of paying the tuition after an admit...
